Savor the flavors of Icelandic cuisine, where fresh seafood and succulent lamb take center stage. Try hákarl, the infamous fermented shark, or feast on traditional Icelandic Skyr, a creamy delight that will tantalize your taste buds. Reykjavik's nightlife is legendary, with an array of bars, clubs, and live music venues that cater to every taste. Experience the midnight sun during summer months, where the city stays alive with endless possibilities until the wee hours of the morning. In Reykjavik, nature and culture merge seamlessly, offering you a glimpse into a world unlike any other. So, pack your bags and let Reykjavik be your gateway to a land of enchantment.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Portugal, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Liechtenstein, Serbia, Sweden, Argentina and Uruguay
Countries receiving points from most juries / Canada, 19
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Ukraine in 7th place with 10 points from Poland and Portugal as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Slovenia in 21st place getting 12 points from South Africa
As so many times before the lead changed often in the beginning of the voting, but after about one third of the juries had voted, Portugal took the lead and never let go of it. Australia finished a distant second with Canada taking the bronze medal. Israel and Sweden rounded out the top 5.
Portugal is one of the founding members of Global Music and got off to a strong start with 3 top 10 finishes in the first 4 editions. Their next top 10 result came in GM11 when they went all the way to the top of the podium with David Fonseca. Following that first victory Portugal struggled a bit, but did manage to reach the top 10 on a handful of occasions. However, we have not seen Portugal in the final since GM36! GM42 saw a new HoD, but it took José five entries to reach the final. Once there though, Portugal racked up the points and now takes home their second trophy. Well done Portugal, Rosa Negra and José!
