- Here's a recap of all the songs that competed for Albania in Eurovision Song Contest from 2004 to 2024. Please, enjoy!
Albania has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 20 times since its debut in 2004. Festivali i Këngës, a long-standing song contest that takes place every year in Albania since 1962, is used to select the country's entrant for that year's Eurovision Song Contest. Albania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 2004 with Anjeza Shahini placing seventh. It remained the country's highest result in the contest until 2012, when Rona Nishliu finished fifth.

2023 is TOO GOOD for esc, the whole family spirit was a unique moment, I think we would never see that again
I was in the audience, and it was amazing! The highlight of the show.
Albania's qualification rate based on language (as 2024):
Albanian: 6/8 (%75)
English: 5/10 (%50)
Albanian + English: 0/2 (%0)
SO, ALBANIA KEEP SENDING SOMETHING TRADITIONAL AND ALBANIAN PLEASE!!!
Albania 2019 is one of the best entries ever, deserved to win in both 2019 and 2020
Ikr!! Jonida SLAYED and as a Hungarian who grew up in Sweden, it truly hits me.
Just like San Marino and Malta an underrated country with hidden gems
So many 17th places
As well as many 16th places.
I was so pleased to see Kejsi Tola in the postcard. An underrated entry!

Thanks for appreciating Ktheju Tokës, my favorite Albanian entry as well ❤
In my opinion the most underrated country in Eurovision. Every one of their 16th & 17th places (and there are many, lol) deserved so much better
2024 was so underrated😢😢😢😢😢 my top 3
2018 number one.. Eugent Bushpepa.. perfect..
2015 IS UNDERRATED
i love albania in eurovision, but like really why do they always change the lyrics of the song in english, it does not work at all i don't understand. Sorry for the english.
Agree! So so sooo happy that Eugent Pushpepa, Jonida, Anxhela and the Kelmendi family sang in Albanian.
Ktheju tokes Karma and Duje are my favs from Albania❤❤
2023 must've been a lot more stacked than I remember for Duje to score so low
2006 and 2018 should have won and 2023 used to be my 1st too but now it's my 3rd
One of the best countries, and the top of that is when they sang in Albanian, it's a beautiful language. No wonder 2018 is so good, a rock song in Albanian. I want him to comeback or at least a similar song in 2025
2006 was a nice entry
I love 2006 getting recognition, it's my favourite 2006 song
Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry Arilena couldn't perform FFTS for the Pandemic. Even though I prefer Shaj it is still a fantastic entry and maybe the best of '20s so far
Elhaida Dani and Jonida Maliqi absolutely robbed 😢
I speak for everyone when I say, stop translating your songs into English. They completely lose their charm. You have such a unique and interesting language. Please us it!
Yes, and if you wanna go with an English song, then compete with a totally different song, as opposed to translating your FiK entry, just like in 2015.
I love Besa for the fact we have the same winner of 2024
BEFORE THE PARTY'S OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR
They did a huge mistake by translating 2016, 2017 and 2024.
Agree but 2017 still managed to work well
@@MustiiForTheWin I guess so, at least it sounds fine on it's own.
There is something about Albania that makes me feel nostalgic and a feeling mixture of happiness and sadness
Ranking Albania:
1. 2012
2. 2015
3. 2018
4. 2021
5. 2023
6. 2005

Albania ❤❤❤
Carry Me in Your Dreams is such an iconic song and Kejsi delivered it perfectly, could have done much much much higher with a good staging. Definitely my favorite from Albania
Bushpepa 🙌
2018 the best!!!
My winner in 2017! My other favourites are 2019, 2021 and 2023
I like 2014🇦🇱
I love 2009.
2018, 2019 - ❤
My qualifiers and non-qualifiers of Albania in eurovision 🇦🇱 (Since 2004):
OBS: I'll leave the automatic qualifiers as automatic qualifiers even if the country hadn't been my choice to win in the previous year or wasn't high for me in the semi-final format from 2004-2007, since as the entry did not face the semi-finals that year, it would be difficult for me to imagine a situation of these entries in the semi-final
*Old semi-final format (2004-2007)
2004: Non-qualifier ❌
2005: Automatic qualifier ➖
2006: Non-qualifier ❌
2007: Non-qualifier ❌

2021: Qualified ✅
2022: Qualified ✅
2023: Non-qualifier ❌
2024: Non-qualifier ❌
My opinions about the country in eurovision: The country in Eurovision that most likes the "Female ballads" genre, and as it's a genre that I like, I really like some Albanian entries in this style, But I'm really sad about besa in this year, she competed in an extremely difficult semi-final, I feel like if she had left her song in Albanian she would have gotten more votes from the public, besides she was in a hard semi-final, I'm really curious to see what Albania will bring next year, if it's another female ballad or will they change it.
Песня 2016 года кое-кого напоминает:)
Albania is definitely the ESC country with the best vocalists of all the competing countries. And I think that Rona Nishliu is the best female vocalist, while Eugent Bushpepa is the best male one. I hope, they'll win someday.
but 2020 entry really deserved to compete and get one of albania’s best results
Albania love 17place for some reason they get it so often
I love Albina Kelmendi❤❤❤2023❤❤❤
here for the “too underrated” comments
2012 entry was the most dramatic song ever in the contest I love it
2018 and 2019 amazing bangers oh and 2023 as well
2014 Hersi ❤ lts like Ulrikke of Albania😅😅
6:28 literally my favourite Eurovision entry of all time ❤ Albania is such an underrated gem. 2010, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are all incredible
@achnix3167 why you so mad replying to all comments
A message for Albania and for Albanians:
When select an entry in Albanian leave it in Albanian,because translation them or revamping in English they lose their charm.I enjoyed very much Fall from the Sky,Sekret,Duje,Zemren n'dore,Ktheju Tokes and many other song for being in Albanian.So
Keep your songs in Albanian,and I hope Besa will release of version of Zemren n'dore in Titan style!
2009 ❤🎉
2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2022 are amazing! 2023 was good. They should not do English revamps, Albanian language is really beautiful and pretty unique.
2010 and 2021 weren't bad either, but I agree with your notion.
2012 & 2022 are masterpieces.
Entries I like
2006
2009
2013
2018
2022 VERRY ROBBED
@achnix3167 yes it was
2009 only. By far the best they ever sent.
2008 is also extremely cute. Listen to it every now and then
Albania really needs to stop revamping their songs to English. It doesn’t work in most cases. I’d like to hear the Albanian language more often, it’s a quite interesting language.
Albania 2014 is the prime example of how bad staging and outfits kill an exceptional song with a great performer. Poor Hersi. Her song was one of the best that year and it got completely ruined by the staging. She should have worn a dark outfit like in the music video and moved around instead of just standing on that podium.
Albania 2009 and 2010 were the best for me ❤❤
Fall from the sky is the best from Albania, too bad it never competed...
6:48 şu şarkı birinci olabilirdi çok yazık oldu
The unmaster of revamps😢
At least this year was not just black and red background
Kejsi Tola en iyileri ha bide çay var 😊
Rona should have won the contest back in 2012. Please send this emazing voice to Eurovision again, she deserves to win... Greetings from Greece !
Tirana's Palace of Congress is too small for hosting due to capacity (2k spectators)
It is just for the national contest because for eurovision, it would be the stadium that can host more than 25k people
My favorite are 2008 2012 and 2022.
Albania never was my winner, my runner-up or my last place.
Its best result in my top was 3rd in 2012.
Ever since 2016. They don’t qualify if their songs in English, but do qualify if their songs in Albanian
I’m a not a fan of Titan. I don’t hate it, I find it meh. It is my least favourite performance in the song contest this year. Also, Besa had 3 different outfits (2 is from her dress rehearsals.)
Ever since 2014, as Elhaida Dani competed with a completely different song at FiK.
@@in_wino_veritasI forgot about that.
@@MrPointedRovers actually, it's even since 2011.
Ronela❤
2012 is best
Anxhela (2021): "Zoti nuk ma fal!" (God won't forgive me this!)
🇦🇱 in the following 4 years: *either NQ or outside top 20*
What a Karma! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
