All European countries can take part in it and the competition is held in the country that won the year before. In the past, the rules were different. The singers could only sing in their country's language. That rule changed in 1999 and since then, most winning songs have been in English. The country which has won the most times so far is Ireland. It's won seven times! There have been many winners who went on to become very famous. The Swedish group ABBA won in 1974 with the song Waterloo, and they later became one of the most successful pop groups of all time. The Canadian singer Celine Dion became world famous after she won the competition in 1988, too. Many people believe it is not a serious contest and it doesn't bring anything new to music.
