..at least I'll get to go to a city next year I'm quite familiar with.

I learned so much about the behind the scenes stuff and made so many new friends. I even met a few forum members (or former) so it was all worth it. HOpefully some of you will be in Copenhagen next year....

The next host city hasn't been decided yet. My money's on Herning.

I was wondering if It would be CPH. because I visited the city a week before ESC and it seems that the whole city is under construction

So I too put some numbers into Excel...

 

[Magizian]

ROFL! I made a mistake... Sweden and Iceland are joint 5th with Malta/Germany.

I've posted some statistics on my blog about the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, taking Denmark's 2013 win into consideration.

The statistics shown there are as follows (you may click the following links to jump directly to the following sections).
Thirteen Years Of Different Winners
Years Taken To First Win Eurovision Song Contest
Still Waiting For A First Win
When Will They Win Again?
Gaps Between Wins
How Many Wins?

Here are just a few statistics arising from Denmark's 2013 win "Only Teardrops".
a) It was Denmark's third win to-date, having previously won in 1963 and 2000.
b) The gap between their previous win and this win was 13 years (2000 - 2013).
c) That was Denmark's shortest gap between wins to-date.
d) Even so, 13 years is still the eighth longest gap between wins (shared in with Sweden) in the history of the Contest.
e) Denmark's lastest win in 2013 happened 50 years (half a century) after their first ever win in 1963.
f) A different country has won the ESC every year from 2001 to 2013 inclusive (13 years): Estonia, Latvia, Turkey, Ukraine, Greece, Finland, Serbia, Russia, Norway, Germany, Azerbaijan, Sweden, Denmark.

I've read it

 

[Nikoreindeer1973]

London (CNN) -- Emmelie de Forest carried Denmark to triumph early Sunday in the Eurovision Song Contest, an annual musical spectacle known for its combination of over-the-top costumes, kitsch pop songs and international rivalries.

(CNN) -- Ever wondered if a Greek is more trustworthy than a German? Or if a Frenchman is more likely to help you out than a Brit? Or which European nation is the most arrogant?

No, you cannot make a ranking out of the split result EBU gave. This only show the average ranking that every country get. But you can have, for example :

Country A : ranked 1st by jury A and ranked 12th by Jury B. Result : 12pts - Average ranking : 6th
Country B : ranked 6th by both jury A and B. Result : 10pts - Average ranking : 6th

And this is not even an extreme case. You can make some situation with country A getting higher average rank and slightly lower amount of points.

So yeah, that split result is totally useless, and only bring more opacity.

Not sure if someone already posted this...

Interesting statistics there Terence. In 2000 the UK's entrant was Nicki French - "Don't Play That Song Again", which finished 16th place with 28 points. When did she cover "Total Eclipse of the Heart"? I don't remember her doing so.

In 2013 the UK's entrant was Bonnie Tyler - "Believe In Me" which finished 19th place with 23 points.
