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.



Estonia's Eurovision results of the 2020s


  • 2021: Uku Suviste - The Lucky One : 13th in Semi-Final 2

  • 2022: Stefan - Hope : 13th in the Grand Final

  • 2023: Alika - Bridges : 8th in the Grand Final

  • 2024: 5miinust and Puuluup - (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi : 20th in the Grand Final

  • 2025: Tommy Cash - Espresso Macchiato : 3rd in the Grand Final


  • Top 10s: 40%

  • Qualifications: 80%



Team rating of Estonia: 80%


We asked the Aussievision team to rate Estonia'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.


Estonia's score was: 80%


The scores ranged from 6/10 to 9/10, with 5 team members scoring 8/10.



Team comments


"Estonia punch well above their weight at Eurovision and have everything but the win at this point to show for it. Bearing in mind Estonia has a population of less than 1.4 million people, what they are achieving at the contest is unreal. Aside from a non-qualification at the start of the decade, a podium finish, two top ten results in total, and four consecutive final appearances is a fantastic result for a nation of this size. Eesti Laul is a brilliant national final and I consider myself very privileged to be able to attend and cover the selection every year for Aussievision. I hope Estonia will be rewarded for their efforts with victory at Eurovision this decade!" ~Laura


"I have given Estonia a high ranking here because they deserve it. Not a large country but they consistently do well at Eurovision and seem to be on a trajectory for another win. Eesti Laul is one of the best national finals we have with such variety. Well played Estonia." ~Hayley


"Estonia have pulled their weight! Four qualifications in a row! Their longest run of qualifications since the semi-finals began. Also a podium finish this year giving them their best result in over two decades. I want to see them qualify again next year!" ~Kyriakos


"I gave the ranking I did because 2022 and 2025 are the standouts for this Baltic country, although I could have given a higher rating had Ollie been the representative in the two attempts he's been in. Sadly, those two left a bad taste in my mouth and if they want to be in the top 5 like what Tommy Cash did, in the near future, they must send entries that fit the bill in Estonia's music scene." ~John Christian


"A top 3, a top 10, left hand side of the scoreboard and a top 20. Well done Estonia. The only hiccup was in 2021. The current format of Eesti Laul is certainly working for them. A trip to Tallinn is looking ominous at this rate." ~Fleur


"Always a strong performer but rarely my favourite, Estonia rightly has a very consistent record in the 2020s after a real return to form for their slick national final format. Although they were threatening to fall into a rut of slightly dull male pop songs (a rut that bottomed out with Uku Suviste's NQ in 2021), the years from 2023 onwards have been a particular return to form for them in my view, with Alika, 5miinust and Tommy Cash all bringing something completely unique to the stage. One of these years I think they'll hit the nail on the head - and I can't wait to see it!" ~Craig
