With the 2026 contest in Vienna fast approaching, we take a look at the current highest-scoring Eurovision songs of all time.
This is a list of total points received and skews to recent entries because of the new scoring system coming in for the 2016 Contest.
This list doesn't just feature winners, it also has a few runners-up, including one Australian entry just outside that must be mentioned.
Special mentions:
12th: Dami Im – Sound of Silence (511 points)
Internally selected by SBS, Dami Im represented Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm in 2016 with the song Sound of Silence. The entry received 12 sets of 12 points (nine sets from the jury vote and three sets from the televote).
11th: Dara - Bangaranga (516 points)
This year's winner Dara with Bangaranga, just misses the Top 10 with 516 points. This is an incredibly impressive score considering there were only 35 nations competing (much less than several in the Top 10). Not only did Dara score big, she also gave Bulgaria its first-ever win at Eurovision.
10. Måneskin – Zitti e buoni (524 points)
Selected through national final Sanremo Music Festival, Måneskin represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam in 2021 with the song Zitti e buoni. The entry received nine sets of 12 points (four sets from the jury vote and five sets from the televote).
9. Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha (526 points)
After winning the Finnish national selection UMK, Käärijä went into Eurovision as one of the favourites. He was extremely popular with the public, scoring the second-highest public vote of all time. In total, 18 nations gave him 12 points in the public vote, however, only three did in the jury.
8. Netta – Toy (529 points)
Selected through national final HaKokhav HaBa L’Eurovizion, Netta represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon in 2018 with the song Toy. The entry received 13 sets of 12 points (five sets from the jury vote and eight sets from the televote).
7. Jamala – 1944 (534 points)
Selected through national final Vidbir, Jamala represented Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm in 2016 with the song 1944. The entry received 17 sets of 12 points (eleven sets from the jury vote and six sets from the public).
6. Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim (546 points)
An unlucky loss to Croatia in 2024, as in most years, this score would be enough to win. Baby Lasagna gave Croatia its best-ever result.
5. Loreen – Tattoo (583 points)
Selected through the Sweden's national selection Melodifestivalen, Loreen made her return to Eurovision after winning in 2012. Tattoo won the contest with the second-highest jury score of all time (340 points). In total, it scored 15 sets of 12 points in the jury but none in the public vote. It did, however, score eight lots of 10 points from the public.
4. Nemo - The Code (591 points)
The 2024 winner has an impressive score considering only 37 nations plus the rest of the world voted. The Code received a staggering 19 sets of 12 points from the jury, but only one set of 12 points from the public.
3. Kristian Kostov – Beautiful Mess (615 points)
Internally selected by BNT, Kristian Kostov represented Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv in 2017 with the song Beautiful Mess. The entry received 11 sets of 12 points (four sets from the jury vote and seven sets from the televote).
2. Kalush Orchestra – Stefania (631 points)
Selected through the national final Vidbir, Kalush Orchestra represented Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin in 2022 with the song Stefania. The entry received 33 sets of 12 points (five sets from the jury vote and 28 sets from the televote).
1. Salvador Sobral – Amar pelos dois (758 points)
Selected through national final Festival da Canção, Salvador Sobral represented Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv in 2017 with the song Amar pelos dois. The entry received 30 sets of 12 points (18 sets from the jury vote and 12 sets from the televote), giving Portugal their first ever win.

The 2016 scoring system really reshapes these rankings — would love to see how Australia's near-miss tracks up under the old system. I've been using https://aiphotoonline.com
This ranking of top-scoring Eurovision tracks is so fascinating to compare across different years and voting styles. I love saving clips of these iconic performances and using GifToMP4 to turn fun GIF moments into shareable videos. It’s amazing to see just how many incredible songs have left their mark on this contest.
The 2016 scoring shift really reshuffled the leaderboard, but that Aussie entry just missing the cut is a standout—would love to see how it fares under the new system. I've been keeping track of how recent rule changes impact fan favorites. https://image-to-stl.com
