As of 2005, the most successful country in the song contest has been Ireland whose entrants have won seven times. Close behind them with five wins each are France, Luxembourg and the UK. In ESC 2005 the Irish representative claimed that Ireland is the spiritual home of the Eurovision Song Contest; nonetheless, that year Ireland was eliminated in the semi-final. Johnny Logan (aka Mister Eurovision) is the most successful individual contestant having won the competition as either a singer or composer on three separate occasions.
