  • Here's a recap of all the songs that competed for Iceland in Eurovision Song Contest from 1986 to 2023. Please, enjoy!
    Iceland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 35 times since its debut in 1986, missing only two contests since then, in 1998 and 2002, when prevented from competing due to finishing outside qualification places the preceding years. The country's best result is second place, which it achieved with Selma in 1999 and Yohanna in 2009. The Icelandic broadcaster for the contest is Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV), which also broadcasts Iceland's national selection competition, Söngvakeppnin.
    Iceland has achieved a total of seven top ten placements, with the others being Stjórnin finishing fourth (1990), Heart 2 Heart seventh (1992), Birgitta eighth (2003), Hatari tenth (2019) and Daði og Gagnamagnið fourth (2021). Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Iceland has failed to qualify for the final eight times, including four years consecutively (2015-18). As of 2023, Iceland is the only Nordic country that is yet to win the contest.

Greta was a big shock because a lot of people liked it at first, but Montenegro also deserved the final. I hope next year back in Sweden we will see again camera works like in 2016, was amazing.

    Draumur um Nínu
    Nei eða Já
    All out of Luck( should have won over Charlotte Nilsson)
    Open your heart( thats especially special to me since 2003 is the first Eurovision I remember. I loved Birgitta and her song)
    This is my life
    Is it true? ( Jóhanna has been my celebrity crush since I was a 13 year old kid watching Eurovision in 2009
    Coming home
    Ég á líf
    No Prejudice( even though the Icelandic version is much better)
    Hatrið mun sigra( I hated it when it first won Söngvakeppnin but as I listened to it more I started liking it and the performance was awesome in Israel
    Think about Things and 10 years Daði and Gagnamagnið are national treasures❤❤ They would have won in 2020 if it wasnt for stupid Covid
    Power it should have qualified. I feel like thats the best of our non qualified songs.
    There are very few songs of ours I don't like. I would say Það sem enginn sér, Paper and Our Choice are like the worst songs we've had.
