It looks like DR is on it again to win Eurovision and achieve its 4th victory in the history of the contest. This year, the country accepted submissions from June 6th 2016 until the 5th of September 2016, where they got an impressive breaking number of 1115 songs . Nothing beats off than music in Scandinavian countries!
