Yay @ qualifiers, though Conqueror not qualifying is weird.

15. Sweden

The grandmother of DSFE doesn't even reach my top 10 in 2016 due to having a lot of good songs, but few that really stand out (none are in my top 50). It was also the first year that they didn't make the top 3 even once so somebody is def getting fired.

12 Nobody Knows − Darin ( AcerBen )

Seething hate.
11 Leva Life − LEA ( yoshi94 )

Don't really know what to make of this. Swedish is always a risk, as are lyrics videos, unless the song is REALLY strong. This is not.
10 Tired of Talking − LÉON ( Lola V )

Sleepy.
9 Ocean − Andreas Moe ( spinbrandispin )
8 Statue − Smith & Thell ( mikabv )
7 Tomorrow − Niki & The Dove ( AxG )

All quite pleasant.
6 Keep an Eye on Me − Frida Sundemo ( GreekFan )

Some of her other songs would have reached number 1 on this list.
5 Midnight Boy − Kate Boy ( dylanpartyon )

I preferred her other song which also flopped.
4 When We Dig For Gold In The USA − Amanda Jenssen ( Gwen 404 )

The Gwen vs mika rivalry spawned by mika's attempt to sabotage this entry was one of the most gripping storylines of 2016, wrapped in a conclusive ribbon by the fact it was narrowly beaten by mika's Swedish song in CofC (though at least here it has triumphed, Gwen!)
3 Stay Gold − First Aid Kit ( BethnalGreen )

This was the first time Beth ever had Sweden! Disaster </3
2 Time − Sabina Ddumba ( phill363 )

Time has really grown on me, though mainly for the chorus and the video.
1 Screaming Colours − Violet Days ( jag02010 )

I always forget I like this because the verses are w/e but the chorus is life and this could have done much better with a video.

14. Norway

Just like Sweden, Norway has lost out to its microstate this year. And doesn't that seem to be a recurring theme? There are plenty of high quality songs in this list but again, not life-changing. Though Norway did do ridiculously well by winning 3 times so maybe it's just me.

11 I Don't Wanna See You With Her − Maria Mean ( Lurker62 )

Sorry Lurker, I just hate her.
10 Psycho − SERVED ( EuroFoxi )

This sounds like something Romania would cook up.
9 All Hours − Julie Bergen ( alwaysanigel247 )

Younger was her peak.
8 Hurts So Good − Astrid S ( thengp12 )
7 Someone Who'll Get It − Highasakite ( GreekFan )

Nb, nb
6 So Bad − Brandon Skeie ( Carlisle156 )

This left in the QFs. Explain yourselves??
5 Broken Heart Museum − Kiesza ( Lisa.B )

Always a pleasza.
4 Au Volant − Elsa & Emilie ( mikabv )

Neither jaunty nor nice, this was a very underrated entry!
3 Ghost − Matilda ( Pooley )
2 Maze − Aria ( Greecelove )

Both of these are really good and I enjoy them when I listen to them, but find it hard to remember them.
1 Conqueror − AURORA ( jackel1234 )

My husband plays FIFA so I've listened to this so many times, and was planning on sending it when jackel blindsided us all.

Agree about So Bad, was really surprised when it left in the QF.

I am trying (and failing) to post updates for my countdown daily. Maybe I'll do another one tonight but if not then I'll do it tomorrow, I want to finish it by the time the new contest comes around.

That's fine Alex. I'll probably send singers this year to win your heart (as I can't resist to send songs again that are my "guilty pleasures" 🐯 ).

Your big moment is coming! Though don't try and win my heart in particular, my favs are all over the place.

13. Liechtenstein

Pwnt @ Germany. Liechtenstein also got to steal a Swiss/Canadian song this year thanks to flopgoddess Rykka *fan*. Their 2016 wasn't outstanding in terms of actual results, but definitely an improvement over 2015.

11 Zwei Herzen − Klee ( nunaney )

I didn't get it.
10 Follow the Wind − Bastian Baker ( spinbrandispin )

Bastian Baker is so relentlessly toneless.
9 Schön Genau − Lina Maly ( March Mornings )
8 Surround Me With Your Love − Femme Schmidt ( thengp12 )

k
7 Stupid Girl − Madeline Juno ( AxG )

Had the ingredients to be a really good song.
6 Baggage − Sonia Stein ( MiesBouwman )

YouTube HATED this and deleted it. It's UTR but no way deserving only 17 points??
5 Whole − Anna Naklab ( GreekFan )

A liiiiitle too on the generic side but she's cool.
4 Monster Lead Me Home − Sara Hartman ( BethnalGreen/jag02010 )

Oh this was the contest where Beth and jag had 5 songs But iirc everyone was being rubbish in taking on the extra countries, and can't blame them at all for sending this.
3 Hurricane − Elaiza ( Carlisle156 )

Elaiza <3 I think I was the only person in the world who loved Is It Right. The rest of the music tends to not be amazing, but if they can create more like this then Ukraine will certainly be on that in 2017.
2 Federkleid − Faun ( yoshi94 )

One day I will listen to neo-Medieval pagan folk with yoshi in a field and we will be so happy.
1 True Colours − Zedd, Kesha ( Lurker62 )

I'm stealing one of the YT comments: more than a song.

Awesome! I was thinking how can I get the top spot of the remaining countries.

True Colours came out at the right time when I got Liechtenstein. I was in tears of joy when I heard it during my research. That, I knew I need to send it.
