The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / United Kingdom, 8
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Italy, Denmark, Iceland, Canada, Malta, Russia, Netherlands and Turkey
Countries receiving points from most juries / Bulgaria, Spain and United Kingdom, 21
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Estonia in 10th with 10 points from Australia, Andorra and San Marino as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Hungary in 22nd, getting 12 points from Ireland
There was never really any doubt about the winner, as Adele scored a massive 8 top marks. However, Spain did put up a decent fight, securing their third silver medal while South Korea just managed to crawl one nail ahead of Andorra to claim the bronze, while Mongolia rounded out the top 5.
United Kingdom debuted way back in GM03 with Sugababes taking home the bronze medal. Several other top 10 results followed, before they could claim victory for the first time with Des'ree in GM19. Other victories followed in GM26, GM38, and GM40 with Shayne Ward, James Morrison & Nelly Furtado and Duffy respectively, before the current HoD, Per, took over the UK in GM60. In only his second participation for the country, he won its 5th gold medal, when Alexandra Burke finished on top. Adele and Lawson brought the UK more gold in GM64 and GM86 respectively, before Olly Murs - with the help from Demi Lovato - and Ellie Goulding won back-to-back editions as recently as GM109 and GM110, and Years & Years winning in GM117. Adele now becomes the 11th champion for the Brits and the 4th in 2015! This is also Adele's second victory, which allows her to call herself Double Global Music Champion. United Kingdom has now taken part 112 times, and is thus one of the most faithfull countries in GM. Their track record is also very impressive. They have been to 100 finals, reaching the top 10 in 51 of those and winning a total of 20 medals! This gold medal is the 7th for Per, who also brought Australia gold in the past. Well done United Kingdom, Adele and Per!
