Each country's qualification rates [Updated]

The third version of my annual qualification rates is here.


Ukraine has been joined on top, but tbf, Luxembourg has only participated in a semi final once so it was either gonna be 100% or 0%.
I wasn't sure how exactly to deal with the Netherlands since they technically qualified. I've therefore added a *, their percentage of course decreases if you don't count it.
Norway has an impressive seven year streak, the third longest of all countries.
Coincidentally, the dark red countries below 25% are split into different semi finals. Actually, the second semi final is slightly stronger if you only consider the top 10 countries (50% vs. 47% in the first semi final), even though Montenegro with the worst qualification rate is in it.



Latvia prove that it can only qualify in the second semi final, and they have been drawn into it again.
Lithuania maintained its perfect record in the first semi final. This time, they will compete in their "unluckier" semi final. That is also the case for Azerbaijan, though in the other semi final.
Finland and Australia have a perfect record in the second semi final, and have been drawn into it.
In the first semi final, Sweden and Ukraine have a flawless streak.
Slovenia is in trouble in the first semi final, while in the second, it's Czechia and Ireland.
Cyprus should be happy with its draw, as should Austria and Greece.

The Big Semi Final Draw Stats [Updated]

Here's how many times each country has been drawn into each semi final. Belgium & Iceland have now equalled Finland's record of first semi final participations. The latter, however, has been drawn into the second semi final. Denmark & Georgia increase their second semi final record. All five countries have participated in their respective semi final 12 times. Several other countries have 10 or more participations in the second semi final, which means there are more countries regularly drawn into it. Croatia & Georgia have the longest streak in their semi final, five years each. This means they have never been drawn into the other semi final in this decade. Armenia's & Albania's seven year streak has come to an end. However, Greece & Finland who had an impressive streak of eleven (!) years, are back together after 2021. Luxembourg has been drawn into a different semi final than last year. Czechia & Netherlands now have equal participations in both...

Running order qualification rates since 2008

  There has been a change concerning the death slot: 3 no longer ties with 2 and 11. However, if we look at the semi finals individually, neither 2 or 3 are death slots. In semi final 1, 4 is the worst, while in semi final 2, it's 5 and 11. Can we please aknowledge how amazing number 2 used to do before 2013? It was actually the BEST slot in the first half! The producers really did number 2 dirty here (and I cross my fingers it doesn't become the sole death slot this year) There are also several severe differences: Number 9 is amazing in the first semi final, while it's only average in the other. 10 also does a LOT better in the former, while it's unlucky number 13 in the same semi final. Openers also tend to do better in the second semi final.
