AZERBAIJAN 2024
Azerbaijan is sending Fahree and Ilkin Dovlatov with the song "Özünlə apar": About the Artist Fakhri Ismayilov comes from a musical family but is a lawyer. He also sings.

Azerbaijan's History Azerbaijan had one of the greatest debut stretches of any country, starting their ESC lives with 6 consecutive top ten finishes, including a win in 2011 with a song nobody really likes.

Azerbaijan is saved from the bottom of my rankings by some of the non-Scandi songs they've sent, placing 32nd overall. 1 Dihaj — “Skeletons” 2 Farid Mammadov — “Hold Me” 3 Chingiz — “Truth” 4 TuralTuranX —
