Melodi ni Solarie
◄80 • 82►

The 81st edition of Melodi ni Solarie took place in Austrinborg after its 8th victory in the previous edition.

The songs were chosen equally by two juries; however only one jury voted in the semifinals and the final happened with three juries voting equally in a final that happened live on plug.dj.

The same format was applied for this edition, since Melodi ni Solarie 77 - 12 songs in every semifinal with 6 qualifiers in each plus two wildcards and two direct finalists (the top 2 of the previous edition).

In the end, Atlans took its 6th title (the second title in three editions), cementing a record of four editions in a row in the top 2. The province also became the first province to date to have won as a runner-up qualifier and the only province so far to have reached the top 4 in such a position.

With Atlas Genius' victory, Australia took its 6th title home and English language made its 42nd winner (first time a song sung in English wins in 9 editions). Styrknes ended up as the runner-up, conquering its second top 4 in its brief history in the festival and its second best result to date.

The jury title went for the first time to Styrknes with the victory of Svalestup. It's also the 3rd time a band from Norway wins the jury title and the first time a song sung in Norwegian wins it. Fortalet ended in 2nd place and Talar was the 3rd.
