NSC statistics

These are statistics about nations participating in Nation Song Contest, and the NSC self. The contest is now in the 24th edition so the below is a brief overview of the statistics arising from the contests so far.

*Some stats may be out of date, efforts will be made to update these soon*

Participants/voters

In this table you can see how many participants there were per edition, and how many of those participants voted in the semi-final and in the final. The reason why some editions have fewer voters than participants is that sometimes a nation fails to vote. Microstate Qualification has been introduced in NSC 10, which made it possible to have more participants than 42. Since NSC 14 the microstates who weren't able to qualify were obliged to vote in the semi-final and the final. [ NSC 30]] has been the most crowded edition to date, with 60 participants. In the final of NSC 22 a record number of 7 nations failed to vote.

Winners, Runners Up & Douzers

Up to and including NSC 15 a total of 498 top marks of 12 points have been awarded in the NSC finals. This takes into account entries that have not voted.

As you can see by the table below the winner does not always get a lot of top marks. The exception to this is the winner of NSC5, Bokia which is the most successful entry in NSC history. The reason for this seems to be the varied musical tastes of NSC Nations. The list below shows each winner of NSC and the 12 points received versus the 12 points available. The least successful is Calypso in NSC54 which won the contest only receiving 1 x 12 points.

Most Successful Entries

One way of judging how 'successful' a song is is the percentage of the possible points it could get in total - i.e., if it received 12 points from every voting country other than itself, it would have 100%. Applying this formula to all the entries since NSC 5, we see that these are the most succesful songs:

#	Nation	Edition	Song	Artist	% Of The Available Vote
1.	Bokia	NSC 5	Prava Ljubav	Lana i Luka	62.8%
2.	Scorpionia	NSC 14	Hiv A Vegtelen	Crystal	42.9%
3.	Arjastan	NSC 14	The Day it Rained Forever	Aurora	40%
4.	Astoria	NSC 10	Hijo De La Luna	Mecano	37.9%
5.	Maccha-Brugia	NSC 23	Mm Ma Ma	Crazy Loop	36.1%
6.	Alinta	NSC 9	My Immortal	Evanescence	36%
7.	Maccha-Brugia	NSC 22	The City Is At War	Cobra Starship	34.9%
8.	Alinta	NSC 14	Only Time	Enya	34.3%
9.	Vorhota	NSC 12	C’est Une Belle Journée	Mylène Farmer	33.9%
10.	Vedatistan	NSC 23	Angels	Morandi	33.6%
11.	Astoria	NSC 8	Behind These Hazel Eyes	Kelly Clarkson	33.5%
12.	Calypso	NSC 16	My Own Way	Banghra	33.1%
13.	Zombira	NSC 12	Amaranth	Nightwish	31.9%
14.	Lolee	NSC 6	Fix Me	Velvet	31.3%
15.	Tomstria	NSC 12	About You Now	Sugababes	31.1%
16.	Gabriel	NSC 7	Absolutely Everybody	Vanessa Amarosi	31%
17.	Spila	NSC 6	Umbrella	Rihanna	30.8%
18.	Gabriel	NSC 13	Wake Up Call	Maroon 5	30.3%
19.	Spila	NSC 7	Say It Right	Nelly Furtado	30%
20.	Scorpionia	NSC 16	Ironic	Alanis Morisette	29.8%

So this makes the oldest entry in this list by far the most successful entry to date.

NSC League

After every edition Sean (Cydoni-Gibberia) calculates the NSC League. This table differs with the overall standings: it doesn't calculate the total scores, but only awards points when a nation has reached top 10.

NSC Medal Table

Waiting For A Win

All in all, 82 countries have entered the Nation Song Contest at least once. But these are the countries who have been waiting longest for their first/next win:

Rank	Nation	First Entered	Last Won	Years Waiting
01	Reym-L-Dneurb	NSC1	never	23
01	Lost Isle	NSC1	never	23
01	Isaria	NSC1	never	23
04	Adamsburg	NSC2	never	22
04	Reignland	NSC2	never	22
04	Xorientia	NSC2	never	22
07	Giggshood	NSC3	never	21
07	Magna Grecia	NSC3	never	21
07	Saksjaowie	NSC3	never	21
10	Arjastan	NSC1	NSC3	20

Other nations who no longer enter with a long wait since their first won include Tomstria (23 years), Andromeda and Salona (22 years each) and Venera (21 years). Medina first entered in NSC3, and is still waiting for a win as a part of Comodina. Brugia, Maccha-Bently and Cicvara never won as independent states in their own right, but have since won as parts of Maccha-Brugia and Spila respectively.
