Notes

  1. ↑ "Vechny strannik" was titled "Eternal Wanderer" in the on-screen credits.
  2. ↑ In order to reduce the number of participating countries at the 1996 event a qualifying round was held among all countries except the hosts. Russia failed to progress from this round; entries which failed to progress have subsequently been discounted by the EBU and do not feature as part of the countries' list of appearances.
  3. 1 2 3 If a country had won the previous year, they did not have to compete in Semi-finals. In addition, from 2004 to 2007, the top 10 non-Big Four countries did not have to compete in the semi-finals the following year. For example, if Germany and France placed inside the top 10, the 11th and 12th spots were advanced to next year's grand final along with all countries in the top 10.
  4. ↑ The 2020 contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
