The Internatia Song Contest 159 is the 159th monthly edition of Internatia Song Contest. The contest is held in Dialann F, Solais X; after the country achieved its third win in the contest's 157th edition with Agnes and her song "BALENCIAGA COVERED EYES".
This contest saw the departure of one of the long-time continuously participating countries,
Pen Island, after 142 editions and 12 years.
Etorkia made its debut after a decent absence of HoD's previous ISC country,
Ħanei Čaravāz; and
Stelle entered ISC instead of
Gredst because their HoD had decided to simply switch countries right away. Meanwhile,
Noxus returned to ISC after their short 5 edition absence.
Pots
All of the participating countries were split into five pots, based on the voting history of those countries in previous editions. From these pots, half (or as close to half as was possible) competed in the first semi-final. The other half in that particular pot competed in the second semi-final.
The host nation
Solais X (Pot 4) was exempt from the semifinal draw.
The pots were drawn by the broadcaster of
Percheron, A+. They are as follows:
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 | Pot 5 |
