After a non-qualification of LaFee in [[Kaledonii]] and a rather poor result achieved by Akira Yamaoka in [[Monteverde]] another strike of amazing results came. That includes two 4th places by "Nouveau Parfum" performed by Boggie in [[Beige]] and "Faster" by Within Temptation in [[Alexandria]] acquired in [[Internatia Song Contest 22|ISC 22]] and [[Internatia Song Contest 23|ISC 23]] consecutively. However a top 3 result was achieved by Oonagh with her song "Orome" in [[Internatia Song Contest 24|ISC 24]] in [[Territrius]], which scored 3rd place with 159, being second best result in the contest and the biggest amount of points received by Irdminia.

However, another strike of bad results came after that, as in [[Internatia Song Contest 25|ISC 25]] held in [[Leshia]], Kathleen Reiter with her ballad "Colourful" scored only 19th in the final and the next edition held in [[Chruno]], a national star Ewelina Lisowska failed to qualify and actually scored a worst place in history for Irdminia. This resulted in a dramatically low number of voters in a final, which was the main reason of not submitting Irdminian televotes in the [[Internatia Song Contest 26|ISC 26]] grand final, but instead of that, points from the national jury were awarded.

Irdminia made its debut at the Internatia Song Contest at ISC 7 in Lördsberg, San Monique and haven't missed any edition since then. Despite rather bad results, public interest is still high and the country is one of the most active one in terms of creating NF's and making an impact in regional press.
Following a series of rather mediocre results since it's debut and non-qualification of some of the biggest stars in the country, Irdminian broadcaster decided to create a special group of musicians and journalists to decide it's next entries and possible national finals. It paid off quickly, as Delerium - the representatives on the ISC 16 in Anselmsuusonia scored a great 7th place. The next group, Delain, scored even better, achieving a 6th place in the next edition held in Yazminia. However, the biggest success of a country came in the ISC 18 in Kosma, when early fan favourites to win - Sinine together with Sandra Nurmsalu performing the song "Sel Teel" - scored the 2nd place, loosing after a very tight race only to the winner, Kaledonii. After that, another top 10 result was achieved, this time in Pebbleland by Lilit Hovhannisyan. Now, because of the four top 10 results in a row, the interest about ISC in the country is massive again, even bigger than before.
