What did some of our team members have to say about their favourite songs from DMGP 2025?
Angus (Hallucination): I am not going to pretend for a second that DMGP is one of my favourite national selections, but this is one of the best pop songs we’ve had so far this year. Sissal sounds great on this, the vocal melody will instantly be stuck in your head, and it just is a proper track with some nice energy
Daniel (Allez Allez): This is never going to trouble the higher ends of any Eurovision scoreboard, but it’s still a really fun vibey song that’s perfectly enjoyable, It’s a song that I think could really come alive on stage with big energy and some good staging. Danish is always a plus too.
Kittens (The Unluckiest boy alive): From the kickoff with that chunky piano, this grabs your attention straight away. I’m a house head outside of Eurovision and can see piano house hiding in these beats, although in a more commercial format. I don’t think I’d be surprised if I heard a remix or breakdown of this in a club in the future. With some strong staging and a great vocal, i feel like this could really shine in the selection, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens!
What is DMGP?
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is the oldest national final in the Eurovision sphere. The national final has been going since Denmark’s debut in the contest back in 1957. There are often around 8 acts who take part in this often singular night event. The voting process has changed over the years but currently the winner is determined by 50% jury voting and 50% televoting. Denmark is one of a few countries to introduce a super-final round which narrows the artists down to three before deciding the final result.
Denmark’s Eurovision Journey
Denmark first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest back in 1957 and notched up their first win in 1963 with Grethe and Jørgan Ingmann’s “Dansevise”. Denmark later earned two third-place finishes in 1988 and 1989 but was then relegated three times in 1994, 1996, and 1998. They finally achieved their second victory in 2000 with the Olsen Brothers’ “Fly on the Wings of Love”, and have missed the Grand Final eight times since the introduction of the semi-finals. A six-year qualification streak from 2008 culminated in its third win in 2013 with Emmelie de Forrest’s “Only Teardrops”.
Most recently, Saba represented Denmark after winning their national selection with her song “Sand”. She placed twelfth in the second semifinal, scoring 36 points.
