All Eurovision winners by age | 1956 - 2024

Thanks for watching! I'm only human and I quite possibly made mistakes and at some point numbers started looking like one and another, if you think you spotted one please leave in the comments down below so I can update it in possible future editions! Just to clarify all ages shown since 2004 are from the day of the final, not the cut-off date, which is the day of first semi final.

Newer editions:
Whoops this is the most recent edition.
Next planned edition: after ESC 2025.

Mistakes or missing people so far found
Luxembourg 1972: Vicky herself said she was 16 while competing in 1967, so I included August 23rd 1950 as her birthday, despite most sources saying she was born in either 1949 or 1952.

I’ll double check next edition to make sure all of them are in it!

Playlists

Most footage comes from Eurovision GOLD

Fun fact: the record for youngest Eurovision winner ever can not be broken, as the current rules state the participant must be at least 16 years old. So honestly, Sandra Kim is a legend

[sarahb]

Sandra Kim really didn't even look like 13

[Wailmur]

Now Imagine if Loreen didn't participate in 2012, and the russian grannies would've won. That would've been so funny and this list would reach much higher ages

[veritasvanburen_]

So what I’ve learned from this is that the 70s and 80s REALLY aged people

[artsed]

People used to looks SO MUCH OLDER than they do today... How was Charlie McGettigan only 43? He looks 60 or more by today's standards.

[StarTheTripleDevil]

So if Loreen were to win again in 2034, she'd also break the record for the oldest Eurovision winner (unless someone else breaks the record first).

[thedopest]

One interesting thing to pick up from this video is the fact that quite many of the winners won the contest close to their birthday!

[CanonessEllinor]

The Olsen Brothers were a lot younger than I’d have expected

[scarlett.]

Thomas from Mäneskin is so far the only winner born in the 21st century!

[annoyingbrituonrbvs]

How some of these people look in their teens...wow I can't believe Marie Myriam was 19!
EDIT: Thanks for all the likes these are the most likes I've ever gotten!!!

[Gidister]

It's rather surreal that out of this list only 3 people are not born in the years starting with 19. I get it will happen as the years go bye. But it's great to see that the next generation is coming now.

[koguma]

charlotte nilsson was 24 when she won???? my god? girl i'm so sorry i really don't want to sound mean but holy hell i could swear she was like 37

[userjfjIVNVCRJGRMVRSJMC]

Rip Lys Assia. She's a legend, the first winner of ESC.

[GyroScopeGD]

Nemo won ESC24 at 24 years old, that's quite interesting

[Janecas]

Went to search specifically for Salvador Sobral… can you imagine 27 and having a heart transplant… crazy

[skorpius]

Why does everyone before 90s look like they are 20 years older than their actual age?

[VATJON]

The Olsen brothers looks 60 but they are 50 or under

Jørgen must have aged super quickly to have Gray hair at 50

[idliketobeagummybear]

besides myself at marie myriam being 19 when she won. 70s french music is all about vocal quality and she sings with such control

[fabbi]

Severine, Marie Myriam and Vicky Leandros are still mindblowing. And I've watched ladt year's video so many times.

[aleksaknezevic]

34:36 She looks and sounds much older than 17!
