The [[New Leganes|Cooperative Commonwealth of New Leganés, the Oblivion Islands and Shoneria]], labelled as ''New Leganés'' in the competition, has participated fifteen times in the [[Urthvision Songfestival]], the second country with most appearances, since making its debut in Urthvision III, where it finished 8th out of 18 participants. Following a financial controversy,
not monopolize the attention of the Urthvision media. Despite this, LLNTV declared their intention to stay in the URC "in whatever means it considers necessary".
The country obtained its first victory in Urthvision VII with the song "This Girl" by [[Qúns]] & [[Tribárne]], in an unprecedented tie with [[Blueacia]]; this victory was followed by two more trophies: in Urthvision XIII, with "Beautiful Mess" by [[Ltxemxein Sarvis]], and Urthvision XVII with "Euphoria" by [[Lórien Talháwi]]. New Leganés is currently the only country with more than one victory in the Urthvision Songfestival, holding therefore the record of most victories in the contest. Additionally, New Leganés holds the record of most podium positions in the contest, with a total of eight times, more than half of its fifteen appearances, having finished three times in a second place (editions V, IX and XII) and twice as third placed (editions VIII and XI), added to the aforementioned three victories. The country has placed in the top 10 positions in all but three editions, with the lowest placement being an nineteenth position in Urthvision XVIII.
Thus, New Leganés is considered the most successful country in the Urthvision Songfestival, a success which has made the contest a mass culture phenomenon in the Cooperative Commonwealth, becoming since 2018 the most watched television and streaming event of the whole country, with an average audience of 86% of the television share. The contest [[Tálek Védi]], which has served as national final for most of the Cukish appearances in the festival, has also become the most watched Cukish TV program since the beginning of its association with Urthvision. Artists as Porbes, Néla Furtado, Máne Ferméli or the aforementioned Qúns and Lórien Talháwi have seen their fame expand following their appearances in the Songfestival, while the Cukish televote presenter in most editions and host for the VIII, XIV and XVIII editions, [[Pétra Méde]], has become an icon in the Cukish pop culture and social media.
