UK’s Eurovision Journey
Despite a recent slump in results, the UK is one of the most successful countries at the Eurovision Song Contest. Debuting at the second edition ever of the Contest in 1957, the United Kingdom has won the competition on five separate occasions. The most recent win for the UK was in 1997 with Katrina and the Waves, singing βLove Shine A Lightβ. The UK also holds the record for the number of second place finishes β currently at 16.
In 2022, the UK was represented by Sam Ryder with his song βSPACE MANβ. The performance managed to impress juries and televoters, and the UK finished in second place with 466 points, their best placing since 1998.
