Germany and Italy rounded out the top 5.
United States made its debut in GM04 and achieved 5 top 10 results in their first 6 participations including a silver medal. In the following editions their form took a turn for the worse and the HoD changed a few times. GM29 saw a new HoD, Robert, at the helm, and in only his 3rd participation he brought victory to the US for the first time, when Daughtry finished on top in GM31. A couple of bronze medals and several other top 10 results followed and now United States claims gold for a second time. In a total of 35 participations, the US has reached the final 29 times, the top 10 15 times and five times they have taken home a medal. Well done United States, David Guetta, Kelly Rowland and Robert!
