This edition we saw a runaway victory for Denmark, who took the lead after the third jury and never looked back. In the end the winning margin was 35 points, leaving Luxembourg with the silver and Australia with the bronze. It was Luxembourg's first medal, but Australia's 9th piece of metal. Greece and Sweden rounded out the top 5, and further down the scoreboard both Liechtenstein and New Zealand recorded best ever results, placing 6th and 14th respectively.

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. 15 editions passed before they stroke gold again - this time with Trine Jepsen in GM43. That gold medal was won in the middle of an impressive 12-edition streak of top 10 results, which ended just last edition. However, Denmark is quickly back on their feet, winning the 5th gold medal in Stockholm. Bryan Rice thus becomes the first male artist to be Double Global Music Champion, as all members of this exclusive club have so far been women: Delta Goodrem, Sanna Nielsen and Agnes Carlsson. Well done Denmark, Bryan Rice and Mikkel!
