Albania on Eurovision: Who reached the top in the big finals

Last night, on the second night of the European Song Contest , Jonida Maliqi (who performed the 14th) was able to secure the great finale as he performed the song "The Earth's" on the big stage of Tel Aviv, Israel.

As it is expected that the next day, Jonida will compete again for the Eurovision winning country, in this article we will remind all of our country's representatives that they could break into the big finals.

Albania on Eurovision: Who reached the top in the big finals

Note: The following rank is NOT random, but follows according to Albania's highest ranking rankings at the European Song Festival.

At the top of the list stands Rona Nishliu, who in 2012 climbed on stage with Suus, a very personal dedication of the artist to human injustice. Given the ruthless interpretation of Nishliu, the song in Albanian could be ranked fifth. In April 2018, former Director of ART, Petrit Beci declared "Not only fashionable" that in fact Ronna's performance, which proved to be the most successful (at least so far), has been more ironic a little costly than the rest.

After her, ranked seventh place comes Anjeza Shahini with the song in English "The Image of You". We recall that the 2004 performance was the first for Albania in Eurovision.

The third in the queue is Eugen Bushpepa with the song in Albanian "Mall", which was ranked in the eleventh place. The performance managed to get comments from foreign criticism but positioning in the final resulted in everyone's expectations.

After the above three, there are Ledina Celo and Juliana Pasha, both in the sixteenth place.

Çelo participated in 2005 with the song "Tomorrow I Go" and Pasha in 2010 with "It's All About You", both in English.

The sequel is followed by Olta Boka with "Let's Get Pawned" in 2008, Kejsi Tola with "Carry Me in Your Dreams" in 2009 and Elhaida Dani in 2015 with "I'm Alive".
