JJ and Wasted Love: the 2025 win that led to Vienna

Austria's 2025 victory with JJ and Wasted Love set the route to Vienna 2026 and remains a key bridge in the modern Eurovision archive.

Austria won Eurovision 2025 in Basel with JJ's Wasted Love, a dramatic pop-operatic entry that gave the country its first win since 2014.

That victory is why the next contest travelled to Vienna. In ESCVerse, the 2025 winner is connected to Austria's country history, JJ's artist profile, the Wasted Love song page, and the 2026 host-city context.

Keeping these relationships explicit is part of the platform's core idea: Eurovision coverage should move cleanly between news, reference pages, artists, songs, countries, and multilingual editions.
