From 550 songs and 22 national finals i compiled a list of 92 non winning songs from 20 national finals that got me on board this year: (I also added 3 additional songs from Poland as a bonus) (In Ukraine the only song i liked won and in Germany no one was good enough)

I'm doing this mainly for myself but why not share some stats along the way?

Five countries (San Marino, Latvia, Serbia, Norway and Moldova) have contributed over 50% of the songs.

Annalisa
Cyan Kicks
Dargen D'Amico
Eliana Gomez Blanco
Emilija V
Emma
Filip Baloš
Gelida
Gothminister
Inga
KEiiNO
Kida
Medina
Ollie
Sasha Letty
Smash Into Pieces
VB Gang (as Vidas Bareikis)
Vidar Villa
Xgiove
Zejna

Artists that have made the list in the past but are now part of eurovision family:

Dons (2010)
Jerry Heil (2020)
Megara (2023)
Natalia Barbu (2011, 2016)
Nutsa Buzaladze (2017)
