Lena Meyer-Landrut (born 23 May 1991), also known by her stage name Lena, is a German singer. She represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo, Norway, and won the contest with the song “Satellite”. With her three entries from the German national final Unser Star für Oslo (Our Star for Oslo), Meyer-Landrut set an all-time chart record in her home country by debuting with three songs in the top five of the German singles chart. “Satellite” debuted at number one in Germany, and has been certified triple gold since. In May 2010, Meyer-Landrut released her first album, My Cassette Player, which debuted at number one in the German albums chart.
Representing a “big four” country, Meyer-Landrut automatically qualified for the final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 29 May 2010. Germany received a wild card during the running order draw, allowing the German representative to choose the country’s position for the final. She performed at position 22 out of the 25 entries, claiming Germany’s first victory since 1982, and its first victory ever in the contest as a unified country. “Satellite” received 246 points, winning over Turkey’s entry with a margin of 76 points, the second-biggest in Eurovision history, second only to Alexander Rybak’s margin of 169 points in the 2009 contest.
