For most of the voting Estonia and Mexico took turns leading the field, but it was Mexico who eventually came out on top, leaving the silver to Canada and the bronze to Finland. Japan and Denmark rounded out the top 5.

Mexico debuted in GM16 and hasn't missed an edition since, even though the results have been far from impressive. In 10 participations Mexico has only finished in the top 10 once, when Paulina Rubio reached 8th place in GM19. Now, Thalía celebrates Mexico's 10th participation in the contest with the big trophy. Well done Mexico, Thalía and HoD Christian!
