abstract
  • Fairytale was the Norwegian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow performed by Belarusian-born Alexander Rybak. It came into the contest as the scorching hot favorite after winning the 2009 Melodi Grand Prix in a decisive landslide. It qualified from the second semifinal in first place. In the final, it was performed 20th following Albania and preceding Ukraine. At the close of voting, it was declared the winner with 387 points, which at the time was the highest point total of all time, accumulating 16 sets of 12-point scores. That record stood for 7 years until Ukraine's Jamala shattered that mark with 534 points under a new scoring system in 2016. The song went on to become a big hit across the continent and was even a minor hit in Australia.
