The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Australia, Denmark, Greece and Netherlands, 3
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Australia, Germany and Ireland
Countries receiving points from most juries / Denmark, 23
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Belgium in 6th place with 8 points from Australia and Turkey as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / United Kingdom in 25th place getting 12 points from Poland and Greece
Denmark took the lead following the votes from the 4th jury and never looked back, somehow taking out the excitement of the voting. With an impressive margin of 33 points, Estonia was left with the Silver and Romania took the bronze. Canada and Greece rounded out the top 5.
Denmark is a founding member of Global Music and even hosted the very first edition. In their first 17 participations, Denmark finished in the top 10 an impressive 11 times including 7 consecutive times from GM04 through GM10. However, the medals had eluded them until they claimed 3 in a row with Annika Askman bringing them their first gold medal in GM18, which was followed with a bronze medal on home ground and another gold medal for Bryan Rice. And medals apparently come in clusters for Denmark, as they took home the silver the edition before their third gold medal was awarded to Kendra Lou in GM28. In the 15 editions since then, Denmark has racked up two silver medals, a bronze medal and another 7 top 10 results, showing that they are always a force to be reckoned with! Well done Denmark, Trine Jepsen and Mikkel!
