Denmark first appeared in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1957. The country is located in Scandinavia. In 2001, the Danish capital of Copenhagen played host to the biggest crowd ever to that time when 35,000 people attended the Grand Final in the city’s Parken Stadium.

Denmark, birth country of one of the world’s most the famous fairy tale writers, Hans Christian Andersen, has won the Eurovision Song Contest three times; in 1963, 2000 and 2013.

Denmark made its debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1957 and got off to a strong start, finishing third with its very first attempt. Shortly after this, Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann won the contest with ‘Dansevise’ in 1963. However it wasn’t all plain sailing; following a poor placing in 1966, Denmark withdrew from the contest, not to be seen again until 1978.

In 2000, the competition took place in Stockholm and Denmark scored its second victory in the Eurovision Song Contest with the Olsen Brothers and ‘Fly On The Wings Of Love’. Despite being an initial rank outsider in the betting odds, the brothers commanded a convincing lead from the start of the voting and took the contest to Denmark for the first time in nearly 40 years. Rollo and King flew the flag for the home team in Copenhagen in 2001, finishing second, before the tables turned and Denmark scored its worst-ever placing, last, the following year.

In 2013 the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Sweden, and, as happened in 2000, Denmark won the competition. Emmelie de Forest’s ‘Only Teardrops’ won both the jury and televote in Malmö and took the competition to Copenhagen once again.

Partecipazioni nel corso degli anni

Note: Edizione | # | Artista (i) | Canzone [Musica (m) / Texto (t)] | Lingua (Traduzione) | Punteggio | Posizione | Processo di Selezione

NOTE:

  • Il brano Higher Ground contiene alcune frasi in Islandese.
  • Il brano Love Is Forever contiene alcune frasi in Tedesco.
  • Nel 1996, la Danimarca non è riuscita a qualificarsi per il concorso. Infatti, quell’anno, c’è stata una pre-selezione audio per tutti i paesi in gara (esclusa la Norvegia in quanto paese organizzatore). Sul sito ufficiale dell’Eurovision questa partecipazione non viene calcolata.
  • Se un paese vince l’edizione precedente, non deve competere nelle semifinali nell’edizione successiva. Inoltre, dal 2004 al 2007, i primi dieci paesi che non erano membri dei Big 4 non dovevano competere nelle semifinali nell’edizione successiva. Se, ad esempio, Germania e Francia si collocavano tra i primi dieci, i paesi che si erano piazzati all’11º e al 12º posto avanzavano alla serata finale dell’edizione successiva insieme al resto della top 10.
