Hot off the heels of them announcing their participation yesterday, it’s time for an Azerbaijan trivia quiz, the only Caucasian country to have won the contest so far.
With some weeks before we begin looking forward to Eurovision 2019, it’s that time in a Eurovision fan’s year to reflect on past years and all the good music and events they brought. And, also, some trivia.
So You Think You Know… is a new series that will arrive each Wednesday, each time focusing on a new active Eurovision country. We are continuing alphabetically. Belarus will be next.

How many times have Azerbaijan finished in the top 10?
Azerbaijan hosted the contest in 2012 in Baku. This was what first for the contest?
There were 42 nations at Baku, not 43, that record had been set the previous year. It was the first year with a new expanded final, however the contest had had that number in the final once before in 2003. And Euphoria was the second-highest scoring winner when it won, Fairytale in 2009 being higher scoring with 387 points.
