This was Denmark’s 1st Eurovision win — not their last. Their full record

Compiled from the public record of the contest. Years, hosts, winners, songs and performers are stated; participant counts and pre-2000 venues are left blank rather than estimated, and will be filled in as each is checked against a primary source. This is a different standard from the two-independent-sources bar that a 2027 confirmation has to clear, and it is held to a lower one — spotted an error? It is worth telling us about.
