Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest

Belgium has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest since its inception in 1956. The country achieved its first top-three placement in 1978, when Jean Vallée’s “L’amour ça fait chanter la vie” secured second place. In 1986, Belgium won the contest with Sandra Kim’s “J’aime la vie,” marking its only victory to date. Another notable result came in 2003, when Urban Trad’s “Sanomi” finished as the runner-up, just two points behind the winner.

In the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, Belgium was represented by Mustii with the song “Before the Party’s Over.” The entry competed in the second semi-final but did not advance to the grand final, placing 13th with 18 points.

Throughout its Eurovision history, Belgium has employed various methods for selecting its entries, including national finals and internal selections. The country has presented songs in multiple languages, such as Dutch, French, English, and even constructed languages. Belgium’s results have varied over the years, with periods of both high placements and early eliminations.
