Notes

  1. ↑ According to the then-Eurovision rules, the top ten non-Big Four countries from the previous year along with the Big Four automatically qualified for the grand final without having to compete in semi-finals. For example, if two Big Four countries were placed inside the top ten, the 11th and 12th spots would be advanced to next year's grand final, along with all countries ranked in the top ten.[1]
  2. ↑ The 2020 contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3]
