This is an
attempt to rank a country's performance in Eurovision based upon every
result, not just wins. For each country, every placing received is divided
by the number of entrants that year to give a fraction. The total score for a decade/overall is then divided by the
number of times they competed in that time. Finishing 6/12 counts for the same as finishing
12/24; and countries who have
only competed rarely can be compared with evergreens.
NB. in order to
qualify for the overall table a country must have participated in at
least five finals; for the decade tables, two finals. Additionally,
countries which submitted entries in 1993, 1996, and since 2004 and failed
to make the final are given a fraction of 0.999. For each winning
song there is a bonus deduction of 1.000, which is why some countries
who did exceptionally well in a decade have a minus score!.
2009 update:
Ukraine maintain a healthy lead despite their flop in Moscow.
The UK edge up to the shoulder of Ireland . Not a
huge amount of movement but Latvia continue to tumble . Norway's
win only lifts them one place as Rybak's win still has to be
judged against all those horrendous results in the 60s and 70s.
Iceland head in the right direction. Some of the more
successful newcomers don't yet qualify for this list as they
haven't yet provided five finalists.
