If Eurovision were a family reunion, the Nordics would be the relatives who show up in sequined capes, sing flawless harmonies and occasionally terrify the neighbors with monsters. They’re small countries with huge voices — and together they’ve shaped some of Eurovision’s greatest legends.

🇸🇪 Sweden: The Eurovision Overachiever

Sweden doesn’t just do Eurovision — they dominate it. With 7 wins, they’re tied with Ireland for the all-time record and Melodifestivalen (their national selection show) is practically a national religion.

🇩🇰 Denmark: The Feel-Good Factor

Denmark has three wins, and every one feels like a warm hug.

Danish entries are usually radio-friendly, happy and hummable — the kind of tunes you’d sing while biking to work with a pastry in your bag. (Yes, Danish pastries are serious business).

🇳🇴 Norway: All or Nothing

Norway has the most nul points in Eurovision history… and some of its most spectacular wins.

Norway’s Eurovision motto? Either break records or break hearts.

🇫🇮 Finland: The Monster Revolution

Finland flopped for decades — until 2006, when Lordi stomped onto the stage in monster costumes and screamed Hard Rock Hallelujah. The crowd gasped, voted and history was made.

Since then, Finland has embraced its bold side: rock anthems, techno experiments and unapologetically weird vibes. If the other Nordics are angels, Finland is the glitter-covered demon in platform boots.

🇮🇸 Iceland: The Lovable Underdog

Iceland is the only Nordic country never to win — but Eurovision fans love them anyway.

Iceland’s quirky, heartfelt style has made them Eurovision fan darlings. Most agree: they’re overdue for their first win.

✨ Why Eurovision Needs the Nordics

Without the Nordics, Eurovision would be missing:

In short: the Nordics don’t just compete in Eurovision — they are Eurovision.

So the next time you see Vikings in glitter singing their hearts out, remember: it’s not a gimmick, it’s a tradition.
