As we get to the end of the decade I've been looking at my favourite songs from each country over the last ten years. Some of these choices were easy, some were really hard either for good reasons (Azerbaijan; I love over half of them) or bad ones (Lithuania; literally nothing that I really liked).

Albania - 2010 - Juliana Pasha: It's All About You
Armenia - 2014 - Aram Mp3: Not Alone
Australia - 2019 - Kate Miller-Heidke: Zero Gravity
Austria - 2016 - Zoe: Loin D'ici
Azerbaijan - 2010 - Safura: Drip Drop (this was the hardest decision of the lot, vs. 2013 and 2016)

Belarus - 2011 - Anastasia Vinnikova: I Love Belarus
Belgium - 2013 - Roberto Bellarosa: Love Kills
Bosnia & Herzegovina - 2010 - Vukašin Brajic: Thunder and Lightning
Bulgaria - 2018 - Equinox: Bones
Croatia - 2010 - Femminem: Lako je sve

Cyprus - 2018 - Eleni Foureira: Fuego
Czech Republic - 2016 - Gabriela Guncikova: I Stand
Denmark - 2010 - Chanée & N'evergreen: In a Moment Like This
Estonia - 2017 - Koit Toome & Laura: Verona
Finland - 2018 - Saara Aalto: Monsters

France - 2018 - Madame Monsieur: Mercy
Georgia - 2016 - Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz: Midnight Gold
Germany - 2013 - Cascada: Glorious
Greece - 2015 - Maria-Elena Kyriakou: One Last Breath
Hungary - 2011 - Kati Wolf: What About My Dreams?

Iceland - 2010 - Hera Bjork: Je ne sais quoi
Ireland - 2013 - Ryan Dolan: Only Love Survives
Israel - 2014 - Mei Finegold: Same Heart
Italy - 2014 - Emma: La mia citta
Latvia - 2016 - Justs: Heartbeat

Lithuania - 2016 - Donny Montell: I’ve Been Waiting For This Night
Malta - 2019 - Michela Pace: Chameleon
Moldova - 2018 - DoReDoS: My Lucky Day
Montenegro - 2015 - Knez: Adio
Netherlands - 2014 - The Common Linnets: Calm After The Storm

North Macedonia - 2017 - Jana Burceska: Dance Alone
Norway - 2019 - KEiiNO: Spirit in the Sky
Poland - 2016 - Michal Szpak: Color of Your Life
Portugal - 2017 - Salvador Sobral: Amar pelos dois
Romania - 2010 - Paula Seling and Ovi: Playing With Fire

Russia - 2016 - Sergey Lazarev: You Are The Only One
San Marino - 2013 - Valentina Monetta: Crisalide (Vola)
Serbia - 2015 - Bojana Stamenov: Beauty Never Lies
Slovakia - 2010 - Kristina Pelakova: Horehronie
Slovenia - 2011 - Maja Keuc: No One

Spain - 2012 - Pastora Soler: Quedate conmigo
Sweden - 2012 - Loreen: Euphoria
Switzerland - 2018 - ZiBBZ: Stones
Turkey - 2010 - maNga: We Could Be The Same
Ukraine - 2013 - Zlata Ognevich: Gravity
United Kingdom - 2011 - Blue: I Can


Interestingly the split of these between years is:

2010: 9 :disco:
2011: 4
2012: 2
2013: 5
2014: 4
2015: 3
2016: 7
2017: 3
2018: 6
2019: 3

That isn't too surprising, 2016 is possibly my favourite contest of the decade, while 2011-12 always seemed weak to me.
 
What would the top ten be?
I hadn't actually stopped to think about that, but since you asked...

1 - Sweden 2012 - Loreen: Euphoria
2 - Russia 2016 - Sergey Lazarev: You Are The Only One
3 - Estonia 2017 - Koit Toome & Laura: Verona
4 - Denmark 2010 - Chanée & N'evergreen: In a Moment Like This
5 - Ukraine 2013 - Zlata Ognevich: Gravity
6 - Azerbaijan 2010 - Safura: Drip Drop
7 - Azerbaijan 2016 - Samra: Miracle
8 - Norway 2019 - KEiiNO: Spirit in the Sky
9 - Sweden 2010 - Anna Bergendahl: This Is My Life
10 - Bulgaria 2018 - Equinox: Bones

The top four are all 110% incredible in my mind.

I'm sure it's the same for everyone but it's interesting how some of my favourites from each year weren't my favourites at the time.
