5 countries quickly made a gap to the rest of the countries and they then stayed ahead throughout the voting and made up the top 5 in the end. One country consistently scored high marks though and pulled away to claim their first victory in Global Music: Belgium! France won the silver and Poland took home the bronze, with Denmark and Canada rounding out the top 5. Costa Rica reached the top 10 for the first time, just squeezing in at number 10.
Belgium was one of the founding members of the contest, though they skipped a few editions in the early days and also changed HoD quite often. Up until now they have claimed only 1 medal, when Lara Fabian came close to victory in GM23, and only another 7 top 10 results. However, with their 50th entry they finally managed to finish on top! James, the Belgian HoD, made his debut in GM50, representing Luxembourg. He took over Belgium in GM53 and this is his first medal. Well done Belgium, Tom Dice, Elisa Tovati and James!
