Ever since having 0 entries in French in 2022, the amount of them has increased exponentially
In 2022 we saw the first time in Eurovision history with 0 entries in French, mainly due to Fullenn's song (France 2022 for the bot) being in Breton.
Ever since then, the amount of entries in French has increased exponentially from 1 in 2023 all the way to 4 this year:
2022: 0
2023: 1 π«π·
2024: 2 π«π·π±πΊ
2025: 4 π«π·π±πΊπ³π±π¦πΊ
In addition to the 4 this year, we've also had a song in French in the Croatian and Estonian national finals. Switzerland could technically get us up to 5 which I believe would be a record?
In order for the trend to continue in 2026, both Monaco and Andorra would most likely have to come back as getting to 8 otherwise would require some pretty odd countries to go French songs. But here is my prediction for the 8 that will next year:
