Since the introduction of semi-finals in, it had failed to qualify to the final eight times. In, "Hallucination" performed by Sissal qualified Denmark to the final for the first time since, ultimately placing 23rd.As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, DR organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country.
