Details About Söngvakeppnin 2022

Söngvakeppnin returned after a one-year break and took place in the new RVK studios in Reykajevik. Björg Magnúsdóttir, Jón Jónsson, and Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir were our hosts for the evening. Five qualifying artists from the two semi–final heats performed, with three artists performing their songs in Icelandic and two in English.

A 50/50 mix of jury and public votes determined the two superfinalists, and from these two, the winner of Söngvakeppnin was then determined by a 100% public vote. 2020 Söngvakeppnin winner and 2021 Eurovision representative Daði Freyr returned to perform as well. Sweden’s 2021 Eurovision entrant Tusse also performed, replacing 2021 Ukrainian representatives Go_A, who unfortunately had to withdraw due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.

Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest

Iceland debuted at Eurovision in 1986 with ICY and “Gleðibankinn”, which finished 16th with 19 points. Subsequently, Iceland has participated in Eurovision 33 times and earned 7 top-ten finishes. Iceland has yet to win the contest, but they have managed two runner-up results. The first came in 1999, with Selma Björnsdóttir’s “All of Out Luck”, and then in 2009 with Yohanna’s “Is It True?”. Daði og Gagnamagnið’s “Think About Things” was a favourite to win Eurovision before the EBU cancelled the 2020 contest.

Most recently, Daði og Gagnamagnið again represented Iceland at Eurovision 2021 with “10 Years”. They then finished in fourth place with 378 points. However, they could not perform in person due to a positive COVID-19 test. Instead, Iceland used footage from its second rehearsal as their entry.
