Notes

  1. ^ a b c The Swedish Eurovision singers in 1959, 1960 and 1961 were chosen internally by SVT, the songs were performed by different singers at Melodifestivalen.
  2. ^ The band's name was changed to "Nova" for Eurovision in order to avoid confusion between the band and the country of the same name.
  3. ^ The song's title was changed to "Boogaloo" for Eurovision to avoid using a brand name.
