Melodi ni Solarie
◄48 • 50►

The 49th edition of Melodi ni Solarie took place in its birthplace: Solarie, after Sintmartæn's third victory in the previous edition.

The edition's theme was kept the same: songs chosen by the semifinal juries who picked the finalists according personal picks rather than the final ranking. This time, only two juries voted in the final.

Also, it was decided that from this edition onwards, the final will be permanently extended to 16 songs. Also a change in the province profiles layout was announced and started to be replaced.

In the end, Maragat won its third title with Sam Fender and the song Play God. It is the 24th song in English language to win the title and the 8th artist from England to win it.

Talar ended as runner up, ten points behind the winner - being the 1st time the province ends in the second place, being the 3rd best result of the province so far. Kastalísker closed the top 3.

Maragat also won the jury title, being the first time in 10 editions that the same song wins the Melodi ni Solarie and Juret and the 12th time overall it happens. This win is Maragat's 8th title, opening a 2-title lead over Austrinborg and marking another unprecedented record in Jury titles.

Worth to note that with this win, Maragat is the only province that only had grand slam wins (all three victories in the festival were accompanied with jury wins as well).
