Malta 🇲🇹 in Eurovision Song Contest (1971-2023)
Ойын-сауық
Here's a recap of all the songs that competed for Malta in Eurovision Song Contest from 1971 to 2023. Please, enjoy!
Malta has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 35 times since its debut in 1971. The contest is broadcast in Malta on the PBS channel, TVM. Malta has yet to win the contest, but is the only non-winning country to have achieved four top three results.
Malta finished last on its first two attempts in 1971 and 1972, and had a 16-year absence from the contest between 1975 and 1991, when it returned. Malta has participated every year since. Malta's return proved more successful, reaching the top 10 in 12 out of 15 contests from 1991 to 2005, including third-place results for Mary Spiteri (1992) and Chiara (1998) and second-place results for Ira Losco (2002) and Chiara (2005). Since finishing last for the third time in 2006, Malta has struggled to make an impact, having achieved only two top 10 results in recent years: first being Gianluca Bezzina's eighth-place in 2013, and Destiny Chukunyere's seventh-place finish in 2021.

I actually liked their performance the most
One of the most underrated countries in esc
the fact they only got 1 entry outside of the top ten from 1991 to 2002 is such a huge achievement. and then there best outcome in 2005 they were in their prime. malta is so underrated they deserve so much more

They only had such a great track record back then because they were one of the only three countries, who had the right to sing in English during the language rule era. So as much as l like some of Malta's entries from that era (1994 and 1998 in particular), we know that they would have flopped badly if they'd had to sing in Maltese.

But, if they were only good because they sang in English, they should have collapsed in 1999, not had 3 top ten in the next 4 years.

@@ChippewaValleyUrbanistActually, 1999 happens to be the first year since their return to the contest in 1991 when they didn't make the top 10. It is true that they were a bit luckier in the early 00s than the UK and Ireland were, but they would end up struggling after their 2nd place in 2005.

Yes! Its my 2nd favourite and i vote for it back in 2019. Super underrated
Fun fact: Malta also tried to enter in 1973, with their usual national finals at the time to decide the song. The semifinals went on normally, but PBS later cancelled the national final and withdrew, because they liked none of the 6 finalists.

The Busker is so underrated
Turns out of I was one of the few that voted for Buskers. But I also voted 3x for Ireland. At least I slightly improved the result.
so close so many times

This show is either for millions deciding what they like and what to stream or it’s for 5 people in a room on a jury panel
I loved hearing busker, I thought they should’ve been up there I loved the song
Loop is the strongest song yet
My country deserves more love.. we always try so hard every year
Malta was my winner in 2002 and would be also in 2022 but with Ritmu
I liked this year's entry so much (2023). It was a nice song, it deserved more love.
The most underrated songs 1971,1972,1975
okay, "dance our own party" didn't qualified for the finale, but last in the semi-final? Not mam', it was rigga morris
I wish Malta had won in 2002. It's so much better than the song that really won.
I've been watching Eurovision since 1993, I recently went and re- watched all the songs again and made a list of all the songs I liked, I wanted to see which country I liked the most- the winner is Malta, I liked every song since 19930 2023.
How they ended last In semi.. HOW
O país Malta já eh lindo, agora com cantores magníficos cantando, deixa o meu coração mais suave. Lindas músicas maltesas.
My favourite songs from Malta: 2013 (my 2nd) 2023 2012 2014 1975 2002 2001
We deserved to experience eurovision in Malta at least once.
Chiara and Gianluca are absolute legends.

Hello. as always I leave you the ones that I liked: 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005,
love year 2001 and 2006 and so sorry he did not win, but he win my heart and allways be nr 1
The country with the longest parricipations history, whithout no victory. But with 4 less parricipations compared to Cyprus which has the most participations (41) without no victory as well.

I'm really worried about Malta because of the new rules about televotes only in semi finals. They need great songs in next years to qualify because they always do bad with televotes. They never would have been last this year if the juries were in semi finals

Emma muscat definately deserve a final she was fantastic

Televote should stop underrating malta every single year. Its unfair because they are ruinning their chances of winning or even qualifying.
If Europe was the United States of America. Then Malta would definitely be the southern states. They just got so much soul in their music.
1971, 1972 last but have the most points.
