This page is a record of each country’s performance in Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals since the “seeded” two-semi structure was inaugurated in 2008. The ranking is based on the last thirteen years of two seeded semi-finals. Countries are ranked firstly by qualification record percentage, and ties broken by average semi-final score. So on each line is the qualification percentage and then average points.
eg : Azerbaijan has qualified in twelve out of thirteen semis and has a 92% qualification record. It’s adjusted* average score in semis is 92.58 points.
*NB: due to “double points” being awarded from 2016 onwards we have halved the total scores for those years so the humungeous points don’t skew the averages.
Now updated after the 2023 semi-final draw. Semi One entrants are in red, Semi Two in green, diirect 2023 finalist in blue and countries not competing at Liverpool 2023 are in black.
