Eurovision
A Major Pop-Music Tradition since 1956
The Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) is the largest televised non-sporting event—with nearly 200 million viewers—beaten only by the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. Since 1956, major composers and performers have found success in winning and even just competing in the ESC.
Among the most well-known performers internationally, you may recognize:
ABBA (Winner, 1974)
Oliva Newton-John (4th Place, 1974)
Celine Dion (Winner, 1988)
Julio Iglesias (4th Place, 1970)
Cliff Richard (2nd Place, 1968; 3rd Place 1973)
Katrina and the Waves (Winner, 1997)
Måneskin (Winner, 2021)
t.A.T.u. (3rd Place, 2003)
Jónsi of Sigur Rós (19th Place, 2004; 20th Place, 2012)
America's Growing Interest
The United States has recently taken a slow but burning interest in the competition. Though the contest aired on American streaming platforms since 2016, it was met with lukewarm viewership until 2020. During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Netflix released the film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, with Will Ferrell at the helm as writer, producer, and co-star alongside Rachel McAdams and Pierce Brosnan. It reached the top spot among streamers in the first week of its release, and the song "Husavík" from the film was nominated for an Academy Award in 2021. Since then, stateside viewership has grown exponentially, and Eurovision is no longer just for Europeans. In 2022, Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg even hosted an attempt at the American Song Contest, with all US states and territories competing for similar acclaim.
