2023  Melodifestivalen

Melodifestivalen 2024 was the 64th edition of the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen , which was organised by Sveriges Television (SVT) and took place over a six-week period between 3 February and 9 March 2024, hosted by Carina Berg.

Format

Melodifestivalen 2024 saw six weekly shows held in six Swedish cities (namely Malmö, Gothenburg, Växjö, Eskilstuna, Karlstad and Stockholm). Carina Berg was announced as the presenter of the competition on 12 January 2023, [1] with Björn Gustafsson later announced as her sidekick. [2]

Changes to the format were announced on 29 June 2023. A total of 30 entries took part in the competition (two more than in previous editions) across five heats. Each heat consisted of six songs, with the top two songs directly qualifying for the final, and the third- and fourth-placing songs going to a final qualification round replacing the semi-final, which itself had replaced the Second Chance round in 2022  at the end of the fifth heat. The top two songs in the final qualification then progressed to the final, which comprised 12 songs. [3] [4] The winner of the final was determined by the usual 50/50 combination of votes from the public and an international jury. Anders Wistbacka  [ sv ], project manager for the event, anticipated on 12 January 2024 that several further format changes would be implemented. [5]

Norwegian broadcaster NRK's decision to allow for the second year in a row the use of autotune in its national final, Melodi Grand Prix , prompted the European Broadcasting Union to state that such use must be limited to artistic purposes in the contest. Addressing the topic, Karin Gunnarson, Melodifestivalen producer and artistic director, clarified that there were no plans to introduce a similar rule in the Swedish competition in the immediate future.

[9] [10] [11] [12] The selected entries were announced on 1 December 2023. [13] [14]

Final qualification

At the end of the fifth heat, a final qualification round took place consisting of the third- and fourth-placing songs of each heat. The two most voted songs qualified for the final; the age group system was not used for this vote, but the results from the heats were added to it to determine the result of the final qualification. More specifically, for both the heat and the final qualification round points, the total number of votes for each song in each show was divided by the total number of voters (devices) in each show. Then 1000 points were distributed amongst the songs based on those ratios. [21] A total of 6,551,057 votes were cast using 518,179 devices, with a total of SEK 517,392 collected for Radiohjälpen.
