Not far behind, Denmark took the silver and the bronze medal went to Australia, with Hungary and Canada rounding out the top 5. Furthermore, Barbados achieved their best ever result, finishing 8th,
Sweden is a founding member of Global Music and for the first 19 editions, they didn't miss a single contest, racking up 5 trophies in the process!
In fact, they kicked off their Global Music career with a gold medal for One More Time. For the next couple of editions they finished outside the top 10, only to bounce back in GM04, winning the silver, and then another gold in GM06 for Jessica Folcker. Their second victory was followed by several other top 10 results and a third gold medal in GM12, when Basshunter finished on top. Back to back victories followed in GM17 and 18 by Carola and Lena Philipsson respectively, and as recently as GM29 - with a new HoD - Sweden took their 6th gold medal with Sanna Nielsen. Now, only 3 editions since their last triumph, the Scandinavian nation claims their 7th trophy! Well done Sweden, Danny Saucedo and Sónia!
