The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Argentina, 6
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / South Korea, United States, Poland, Serbia, Jordan and Dominican Republic
Countries receiving points from most juries / Argentina, 18
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / United Kingdom in 5th with 10 points from Denmark as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Andorra in 26th getting 12 points from Turkey
The last edition of the year ended with a clear winner. However, it was not given from the beginning, as other countries took the lead early on. In the end though, Argentina pulled away to secure their first victory in Global Music. Turkey finished strong and took the silver, while the bronze went to United Kingdom, scoring the same amount of points as Jordan and Switzerland who rounded out the top 5.
Argentina joined Global Music way back in GM02 and in the early days of the contest was a regular participant. The great results were, however, very scarce and they had to wait until GM18, before they finished in the top 10. Then in GM33 Argentina came close to victory, when Luciano Pereyra settled for the silver medal. After GM40 the country withdrew and has only been back in shorter periods at a time since. The top 10 has been graced 3 other times, and then in GM147 Argentina found a new HoD, Guido, and has been present every edition since. And in only his 8th attempt, Guido manages to bring home the gold medal to Argentina on their 67th participation. Well done Argentina, Axel and Guido!
