Denmark has competed at the Eurovision Song Contest from 1957 to 1966 and from 1978 to the present day and has a proud record - as well as particularly devoted fans. The most recent Danish victory came in 2000, with the Olsen Brothers defying the odds (they were considerably older than their competitors and only one male duo had won before) to win with "Fly On The Wings Of Love".
Since that time, the Danes have competed with distinction and recently recorded a third-place finish in the 2005 semi-final with Jakob Sveistrup's "Talking To You". In that same year, Copenhagen hosted the 50th Anniversary special of the Contest.
