Latvia's early Eurovision years were top, but they haven't been able to leave their mark on Eurovision in recent years. The last five entries didn't make it to the final. Intars Busulis (2009), Aisha (2010), Musiqq (2011), Anmary (2012) and PeR all finished in the bottom of their semi.
Still, Latvia have some interesting records and first to their name. They were the first to intruduce sign language to their entry (2004's The War Is Not Over) and also the first to send an acapella song (Cosmos' I Hear You Heart in 2006). The also sent the only song ever to mention Johnny Logan in the lyrics (2012).
2004 entry Dziesma Par Laimi by Fomins and Kliens holds the record for most language versions recorded by original artist. With 9 officially released versions they beat Vicky Leandros (L'Amour Est Bleu) and Nicole's who both have 7 to their name.
