With five Eurovision Song Contests completed this decade, how is each nation faring?


In an ongoing series, the Aussievision team will rate the performance of each Eurovision nation in alphabetical order.


We’ll look back at their results from 2021 to 2025, their qualification record, give our team’s rating, and see how they stack up against other countries.



Denmark's Eurovision results of the 2020s


  • 2021: Fyr og flamme - Øve os pÃ¥ hinanden : 11th in Semi-Final 2

  • 2022: Reddi - The Show : 13th in Semi-Final 1

  • 2023: Reiley - Breaking My Heart : 14th in Semi-Final 2

  • 2024: SABA - Sand : 12th in Semi-Final 2

  • 2025: Sissal - Hallucination : 23rd


  • Top 10s: 0

  • Qualifications: 1



Team rating of Denmark: 28%


We asked the Aussievision team to rate Denmark's Eurovision 2020s entries on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).


This gave us an average overall score from the 10 contributors who voted. We then converted that into a percentage.


Denmark's score was: 28%


The scores ranged from 1/10 to 4/10, with 5 team members scoring 3/10.



Team comments


"Oh Denmark? Oh dear! So far it's been a disastrous start to the decade for the Danes. Especially when you compare to how strong they started the last decade. Out of the first five Danish entries in the 2010s all qualified, 4 reached the top 10 and there was a winner. Since then their Eurovision entries have been as bland as their cuisine. Denmark really needs to be more darig to get out of the doldrums. The safe pop song that did well in the 2010s doesn't cut it anymore in an era when acts like Nemo, JJ, Kaarija and Baby Lasagna dominate. Heck even getting some Melfest songwriters from across the ditch to spare a song for Denmark's selection might do the trick. But something radical needs to change, otherwise it will be Only Teardrops for Denmark at Eurovision for a while" ~Sam


"Oh boy do I feel horrible for giving Denmark such a low score but they consistently do no qualify, the outlier this year being Sissal. They really need to pick up their game and look outside the beige square they choose from. Send metal or something - do it Denmark!! (also SAAAND)" ~Hayley


"I agree with Hayley on this that Sissal is the outlier because of the fact that she broke a non-qualifying streak that lasted for six years. But I would enter Fyr og Flamme as another outlier because they came so close towards qualification, only for them to miss out on a cruel twist of fate. If they want for Denmark to be competitive, send something similar to Nicklas Sonne, Eyjaa, Basim, Conf3ssions, or any other 2020s NF artist from the country" ~John Christian


"The most uncool run of songs in history." ~Craig
