1963: Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann
Denmark's first victory came in London in 1963. Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann won with “Dansevise”. In Danish, their names are joined by “og”, meaning “and”.
If you are looking for Denmark's first winning song, “Dansevise” is the title to remember. Eurovision's London 1963 page connects the song, performers and winning year.
2000: the Olsen Brothers
Denmark's second victory came in Stockholm in 2000 with “Fly on the Wings of Love”. The winners were the Olsen Brothers, also known in Danish as Brødrene Olsen.
There were 37 years between Denmark's first and second victories. The official Stockholm 2000 archive lists the Olsen Brothers as the winners.
2013: Emmelie de Forest
The third victory came in Malmö in 2013. Emmelie de Forest won with “Only Teardrops”. The final took place on 18 May 2013, according to Eurovision's official contest page.
The three winning years to remember are therefore 1963, 2000 and 2013. Two victories were achieved by duos and one by a solo artist.
