Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest<\/p>\n

Greece debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, when they were represented by Marinella and the song \u201cKrasi, thalassa kai t\u2019agori mou\u201d, which finished in 11th place with 7 points. Three years later, Greece earned their first top 5 finish with Paschalis, Marianna, Robert, and Bessy, who finished in 5th place with \u201cMathima solfege\u201d. In 2001, Greece achieved their first top 3 placing with Antique and the song \u201cI Would Die For You\u201d. The song became a European hit and charted across the continent. In 2005, Helena Paparizou returned to the Eurovision stage as a solo artist and brought Greece their first, and to date only, victory. Her song \u201cMy Number One\u201d won with 230 points, beating runners-up Malta by 38 points. <\/p>\n
