Just as in the Eurovision Song Contest there seems to be a little advantage in having a late running number. Although the Olsen Brothers won from 1st start position in 2000 and Sidsel won from 4th position last year it does seem a little bit easier to win from the later positions although it is not a clear advantage as you can see below:
Year – the start position for the winning song/number of participants
2006 – 4/10
2005 – 8/10
2004 – 10/10
2002 – 10/10
2001 – 10/10
2001 – 1/10
1999 – 4/5
1997 – 7/10
1996 – 4/5

Because Sidsel Ben Semmane finished 18th in Athens with Twist of love, whoever wins Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will have to qualify from the semi-final in Helsinki.
