They won on their 40th participation thanks to monster metal band Lordi and their record-breaking anthem Hard Rock Hallelujah, which achieved the highest number of points for an entry in the Contest’s history at the time.
Another record was achieved in 2015 by Finnish punk band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät who participated with the shortest competing song; Aina Mun Pitää (‘I Always Have To’) clocked in at one minute and 27 seconds.
In 2023, Käärijä came close to picking up a second victory for his country, securing the most televote points in Liverpool for Cha Cha Cha but ultimately finishing as runner-up to Sweden’s two-time winner Loreen.
