Because some countries - like the UK - pay so much money to Eurovision (actually the BBC pay it) that they get automatic entry into the final.

From 1998 onwards, four particular countries would always qualify for the Eurovision final, regardless of their positions on the scoreboard in previous Contests. They earned this special status by being the four biggest financial contributors to the EBU (without which the production of the Eurovision Song Contest would not be possible).

These countries are Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom. Due to their untouchable status in the Contest, these countries became known as the Big Four.
