The Eurovision Song Contest started with just seven participating countries in 1956. In 2024, 37 countries will participate in Eurovision, taking place in Malmö, Sweden (on the 50th anniversary of ABBA's victory). This makes it the perfect time to refresh your knowledge of every single winner since the contest started way back in 1956 (2020 being the only exception, as Eurovision was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
