Eurovision in the 1950s
This archive covers 1956–1959 and connects each year to the complete Song Contest Radar database. Open a year for every entry, a winning song for its dedicated profile, or an artist and country for their full Eurovision history.
Open the 1950s in Song Explorer → to search this era by song, artist or songwriter, then combine the decade with country, result, video and sort filters. Once the Explorer loads, its browser-local Fan Layer can narrow the current result set to your favorites, rated songs or unrated favorites.
The Eurovision Song Contest began in 1956, so the 1950s archive covers the four editions from 1956 through 1959 rather than a full ten-year span.
Most wins in this decade: Netherlands (2) · France (1) · Switzerland (1)
