FSC Norway

Welcome to the FSC Norway Wikia Page.
FSC Norway (the Norwegian FSC-Jury) is one of the 'oldies' in the FSC. We have taken part in the contest every single month from the start in March 2009, which as of August 2024 makes for 15 years and 186 consecutive appearances. We are, moreover, one of the most consistently high performing juries in the FSC-family, and are - and have been - happy and proud to introduce and share much Norwegian music (artists and songs) with the FSC Community at large.
Below is more detailed info about our songs and our FSC-history. Enjoy!

==FSC Norway timeline==
History: Since Norway joined the FSC in March 2009, as one of a select number of countries, we have had many top 10-placings and a good number also in the top 5. Often at the top, or near the top, of the FSC League Table, which indicates the most consistently successful FSC-countries over a long period of time, Norway, however, had to wait until December 2013 before we finally won the contest, after 58 consecutive editions. 
FSC Victories: 12
The 1st victory was a much cherished one with Tone Damli's Emotional Pop-ballad "Winner Of A Losing Game". Norway enjoyed a 2nd victory in March 2015 with Ask Embla's Electro-Pop ballad "Lay It On Me", a 3rd victory in February 2016 with Sandra Lyng's Euro Dance-pop song "Play My Drum", a 4th victory in July 2016 with Alan Walker ft Iselin Solheim's EDM-song "Sing Me To Sleep", a 5th victory in August 2016 with Mørland's Pop-ballad "Skin", a 6th victory in January 2017 with Röyksopp ft. Susanne Sundfør's Electro-pop song "Never Ever", a 7th victory in February 2017 with Alan Walker ft Noonie Bao's EDM-song "Alone", an 8th victory in September 2018 with Ina Wroldsen's Nordic Ballad "Mother", a 9th victory in January 2019 with Alan Walker ft. Sophia Somajo's EDM-song "Diamond Heart", a 10th victory in October 2020 with Alan Walker ft. Ava Max's EDM-song "Alone, Pt. II", an 11th victory in September 2022 with Röyksopp ft. Susanne Sundfør's Nordic Electro-pop ballad "If You Want Me", and a 12th victory in December 2023 with Moyka's Synth-pop banger "Rear View".
Beside these 12 victories, Norway has reached 2nd place in the contest 12 times over the years: with Alexander With feat. Lene Marlin in February 2010 with their song "Worth It", with Madcon in July 2010 with their song "Glow", with Eva & The Heartmaker in July 2011 with their song "Signals", with Helene Bøksle in January 2013 with her song "Ved havet", with Röyksopp feat. Susanne Sundfør in March 2013 with their song "Running To The Sea", with Margaret Berger in October 2013 with her song "Human Race", with Alida in November 2013 with her song "Some Of Us", with Margaret Berger in June 2014 with her song "Scream", with Sirenia in October 2017 with their song "Dim Days of Dolor", with Secret Garden in May 2019 with their song "The Voyage", with Annie in December 2020 with her song "American Cars", and with Alan Walker ft. Sasha Alex Sloan in January 2024 with his song "Hero" (Remix).
Artists: Many popular Norwegian artists/singers/groups have take part for Norway in the FSC, like Lene Marlin, Maria Mena, Donkeyboy, Röyksopp, Madcon, Alexander Rybak, a-ha, Marion Ravn, Maria Haukaas Mittet, Sirenia, Secret Garden, Bertine Zetlitz, Helene Bøksle, Margaret Berger, Ask Embla/Ina Wroldsen, Alan Walker, K-391, Susanne Sundfør, Thomas Bergersen, Dagny, Kalandra, Annie + many more.
Song-selection: We have tried different ways of choosing the Norwegian song/entry for FSC but often held a 'national final' (preselection) with around 8 songs. When the jury has had just 1 member, the jury-member has decided how to select entries.
Jury-members: Current members of the Norwegian FSC-jury are: Malagant (Head of Jury).
Malagant has taken part in FSC Norway ever since October 2009. In October 2023 he celebrated his 14 Year Anniversary in FSC.
Former members of the Norwegian FSC-jury are: Kimrt (from September 2016 to January 2017, and from September 2021 to March 2022), Martin/Ms (from March 2009 to July 2012), and Morty (a short period in 2009).
In general: Information about the artists/singers/groups who have participated for Norway in the FSC can be found in our own FSC thread ("FSC Norway") in the FSC Forum at ESCYounited.com, and/or check Wikipedia.
