- The 2011 contest matched the participation record with 43 countries and featured major returns, notably Italy after 14 years, prompting the “Big Four” to expand back to the “Big Five” and restoring a 25-song final after plans for a reduced field.
- Azerbaijan won for the first time and became the first mixed-gender duo winner since 1963, despite not topping the jury vote—marking the first such outcome since juries’ 2009 return.
- Semi-final 1 suffered widespread commentator audio dropouts, and Turkey and Armenia failed to qualify in notable firsts.
