Sweden
With two wins within the past seven years, Sweden is catching up on Ireland's record with seven Eurovision victories. Sweden is now only one down.
Since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, Sweden only failed to reach the final once. By a coincidence that was in 2010 where Anna Bergendahl's This Is My Life finished 11th in the final, and where Denmark came 4th in the final with a song rejected for the Swedish selection!
Since 2014, things however have been extremely impressive with not finishing outside top 5 at all in this period. First Sanna Nielsen came third in 2014, then Måns Zelmerlöw won in '15 and finally both Frans and Robin Bengtsson finished 5th.
