Sweden held the contest in 2000 but Denmark were the winners with the song 'Fly On The Wings Of Love'. Azerbaijan did not debut at the contest until 2008. Greece did not participate in the contest that year after withdrawing at the last minute.

Answer: United Kingdom

There have been a number of occasions when the winning country has declined to host the contest. In 1960, 1972 and 1974 the UK hosted the contest despite not winning the previous year because the winning country could not afford to host. In 1980, the Netherlands held the contest as Israel could not, due to expense; the date the contest was to be held on was Israel's Remembrance Day.

Answer: Ireland

Dustin the Turkey was the Irish entrant in 2008, unfortunately he didn't make it to the grand final. Jedward represented Ireland in 2011 and 2012 placing eighth and nineteenth respectively. Ireland won three times in a row between 1992 and 1994.

Answer: Cilla Black

Cilla Black was offered the opportunity to represent the United Kingdom but refused due to the fact that Sandie Shaw had won the previous year and she saw it unlikely that two British female solo artists would win two years in a row. ABBA represented Sweden in 1974 when the contest was hosted in Brighton, UK. Katrina and the Waves represented the UK in 1997 and Celine Dion sang for Switzerland in 1988.

Answer: Serbia

Serbia entered the contest for the first time as an independent state in 2007. Latvia won the contest for the first time in 2002, their second year.

Answer: Norway

In Moscow 2009, 'Fairytale' received a record breaking score of 387 points, receiving points from every country except Norway itself. Norway received 16 maximum scores in 2009 which was more than any other country in the history of the contest. This record was beaten in 2013 by Sweden.

Answer: Bhutan

Morocco entered the contest for the first time in 1980. Countries must be an member of the EBU to enter the contest. Countries such as Tunisia, Kazakhstan, Qatar and Lebanon have shown interest in joining the contest. Vatican City is also eligible to enter although due to their television network showing only religious programming it is unlikely they will ever enter.

Answer: Spain

Daniel Diges performed the song 'Algo pequeñito' at the 2010 contest in Oslo. He was allowed to perform the song again at the end of the show once all the other countries had sung. The jury vote based on the dress rehearsal so the voting was not affected too much by the interruption. Spain finished in 15th place with a total of 68 points.

Answer: Germany

The rules were changed to make sure nothing like this would happen again. The joint win caused a number of countries to withdraw their entry for the next contest. Lulu entered the contest representing the United Kingdom with the song 'Boom Bang-a-Bang'. Germany placed eighth that year.
