Denmark in Eurovision
Since their debut in the second edition of Eurovision in 1957, Denmark have won the contest 3 times.
In 1963 Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann collected the first Scandinavian win with the song Dansevise. That was not their only achievement, they also were the first duo to ever win the contest.
Their other 2 victories were more recent. They won in 2002 when the Olsen Brothers sang their song Fly On The Wings Of Love. (The second time a duo won for Denmark)
And the third and last victory for the country was Emily de Forest in 2013 with her famous song Only Teardrops. Finishing 47 points ahead of second place.
They participated 51 times over the years, of which they only finished last 1 time in 2002 with 7 points.
Since the semi-final system was first implemented in 2004 Denmark have qualified for the final 12 out of the 19 times.
