- Eurovision Song Contest BlogSpot:
- The first years of the 21st century produced a spate of first-time winners, from both "new" Eurovision countries, and old-timers who had entered for many years without a win. Every year from 2001 to 2008 resulted in a country winning for the first time. The 2006 winner was Finland, which finally won after having entered the Contest for 45 years. Ukraine on the other hand did not have to wait so long, winning with their second entry in 2004. Serbia won the very first year it entered as an independent state, in 2007. As of 2008, the country which has entered the longest with no wins to their name is Portugal. They started entering in 1964, and are still awaiting their first win.
The most notable winning Eurovision artists whose career was directly launched into the spotlight following their win were ABBA, who won the Contest for Sweden in 1974 with their song "Waterloo". ABBA went on to be one of the most successful bands of their time.
Another notable winner who subsequently achieved international fame and success was Céline Dion, who won the Contest for Switzerland in 1988 with the song "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi". Dion's success, however, is not as directly attributed to her winning the Contest, as she achieved international fame some years later.
Other artists who have achieved varying degrees of success after winning the Contest include France Gall ("Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son", Luxembourg 1965), Lulu ("Boom Bang-a-Bang", United Kingdom 1969), Dana ("All Kinds of Everything", Ireland 1970), Vicky Leandros ("Après Toi", Luxembourg 1972), Brotherhood of Man ("Save Your Kisses for Me", United Kingdom 1976), Marie Myriam ("L'oiseau et l'enfant", France 1977), Johnny Logan (who won twice for Ireland; with "What's Another Year?" in 1980, and "Hold Me Now" in 1987), Bucks Fizz ("Making Your Mind Up", United Kingdom 1981), and Nicole ("Ein Bißchen Frieden", Germany 1982). Many other winners include well-known artists who won the Contest mid-career, after they had already established themselves as successful.
Some artists, however, have vanished into relative obscurity, making little or no impact on the international music scene after their win.
