For the first half the voting was really tight and the lead changed several times, but then the points started rolling in for United Kingdom, and they never looked back after that securing their 13th victory, now tying with Sweden for most wins! The rest of the top 10 was really close, but Spain took home the silver and the bronze went to Hungary with Turkey and Cuba completing 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, 38, and 40 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 86 respectively, before Olly Murs - with the help from Demi Lovato - and Ellie Goulding won back-to-back editions in GM109 and 110. Years & Years then won in GM117 with Adele taking home the trophy for a second time just two editions later. Ed Sheeran did it again for the Brits as recently as GM134 and with Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson triumphing in this edition, the UK now ties with Sweden for most gold medals! United Kingdom has now taken part 131 times, and is thus one of the most faithfull countries in GM. Their track record is also very impressive. They have been to 117 finals, reaching the top 10 in 63 of those and winning a total of 25 medals! This gold medal is the 9th for Per, who also brought Australia gold in the past. Well done United Kingdom, Clean Bandit, Zara Larsson and Per!
