4. Switzerland: 923 points

Nemo from Switzerland won the 2024 Eurovision with The Code and received a massive 365 Jury points. Of the 37 competing countries, Switzerland received an unbelievable 12 points from 22 of those competing countries.

3. Australia: 1183 points

Australia’s highest jury points since competing in Eurovision 320 points when Dami Im was 2nd overall with her song Sound of Silence in 2016.  She finished agonisingly close to winning, just 23 points behind Jamala from Ukraine in the Grand Final.

2. Italy: 1490 points

Il Volo, the operatic pop trio from Italy received 292 jury points in the 2015 Grand Final for their song Grande Amore. They placed 3rd overall in the final behind Måns Zelmerlöw from Sweden.

1. Sweden: 1968 points

Måns Zelmerlöw from Sweden received 365 Jury points in the 2015 Grand Final for his song Heroes. These points were sufficient for him to be the winner of the Eurovision 2015. Loreen also won the jury with 340 points on the way to her victory in Liverpool.

An amazing effort by Australia to be 3rd on the overall Grand Final jury points ranking. The juries certainly appreciate Australia’s performances and this is a testament to the quality entries sent.

Some of the EBU nations who scored lower in the overall rankings are often due to them no longer participating in the Eurovision Song Contest (ie Montenegro, Hungary, Romania), while Luxembourg only returned to the Eurovision fold in 2024 after an absence of 31 years.
