After two shows, the starting tonight in earnest introduction in Latvia. The next four Sundays is the Supernova for round finished, with two heats, a semifinal and a final.

Super nova last year saw the light of day as a successor of Eirodziesma. The new approach paid off immediately, because the Baltic State took out for the first time since the 2007 final, and ended up for the first time in a decade time again in the top-10 of the rankings.
