Eurovision last places

Who finished last in Eurovision the most?

Relative

Number of last places relative to the total participations of the country.

How do we determine the last places?

1956

  • No last places: The voting or places from Eurovision 1956 have never been made public.

1957 2003

  • Last place: If a country came last in Eurovision.

2004 ...

  • Last place: If a country came last in a semi-final.
  • Last place: If a country was pre-qualified for a final, and came last in the final.
  • Not last place: If a country qualified from a semi-final to a final. Reason: The country actually managed to qualify for the final, meaning there were countries in the same year that didn't manage to qualify for the final, and must have a worse result than the qualified countries.

  • Not included: If a country was pre-qualified for the final: If a country hosted Eurovision that year, or was in the final due to a top-10 placement the previous year (the rules from 2004 to 2007, where the top-10 countries the previous year were pre-qualified for the final).
