Universong 51 was the 51st edition of the Universong Contest. It was held in Stockholm, Sweden, from April 2nd to April 20th, 2013. That was the third staging of the Universong Contest held in Sweden - the first since USC 12 - after the winning of the girl band Timoteij with the live version of their song "Kom" on the previous edition in Akureyri, Iceland.
Hungary got its first - and only so far - Universong winning, thanks to the song "Úgy fáj" by Gigi Radics. Radics won as a runaway leader, as it had won with 192 points, and a 43-point difference with the runner-up Poland - represented by Margaret's "Thank you very much". This point difference equalled the record impossed in USC 25 (that'd be later broken in USC 56, and much later in USC 70 and USC 89). Third place was for Croatia. Jelena Rozga earned 129 points for her song "Nirvana", and completing the top five were England and Finland.
