Bad: [After seeing Pepito get downed in chat and failing to find them on the map] ...I don't know. I don't think we can help them. Maybe Roier can get to them in time.
Top 10 Most Successful Eurovision Entries (2004-Present) Based On % of Maximum Available Points Received
Because the voting system and the number of participating countries are constantly changing it's hard to gauge how good an entry compares to ones from other years based on the raw points received or their place in the final. Therefore, the most accurate way to compile a ranking is probably by % or maximum available points received.
If you're asking why it's only after 2004 it's because I'm not that crazy and I'm not gonna calculate EVERY single year 🤣 2004 was the first contest I watched in full so it's a good starting point for me.
But in case you're wondering, the most successful entry EVER is Anne-Marie David's Tu te reconnaîtras, representing Luxembourg in 1973 and receiving 80.6% of the maximum possible points!
10. 🇫🇮 Finland - 2006 - Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah - 65.7%
I normally share a larger list of 100 acts in total, but immediately after the top 10, we start running into controversial acts or artists or countries or both, and I think we've had enough of that for a year. Let's at least rejoice in knowing that our top 10 is, finally, "clean"! Thank you Nemo for that!
