Posted October 9, 200717 yr In 1969, as many of you probably know, there was no tie-break system and there were four winners. These winners were all very different. Have a look at each of them and vote for your favourite! FRANCE 1969 - Frida Boccara - Un Jour, Un Enfant vG57O5kFkv8 NETHERLANDS 1969 - Lenny Kuhr - De Troubadour 27sCT0YRepU UNITED KINGDOM 1969 - Lulu - Boom Bang-A-Bang EUy2nVyhodc SPAIN 1969 - Salomé - Vivo Cantando evkItRTzNbI
October 10, 200717 yr France should've been the only winner. The other three can't come close, not even Lulu's song.
November 20, 200717 yr so one of our victories is a tie :lol: talk about desperate to make the numbers up :kink:
November 20, 200717 yr so one of our victories is a tie :lol: talk about desperate to make the numbers up :kink: Even without that victory we'd still have the 2nd most wins ;) And overall we're still the most successful Eurovision nation with 5 wins, about 15 2nd places and one or two 3rd places :cheer:
November 20, 200717 yr Most successful countries have finished last at some point or another tbf. The UK, Germany, Ireland, France, Spain. Actually I dunno if France ever have but they often do $h!t.
November 22, 200717 yr Actually I dunno if France ever have but they often do $h!t. Nope, France have never finished bottom. The closest they've come is second bottom, which they did in 1973, 1998, 2000, 2005 and 2006. (Excluding 1956, but then, which the exception of the winning song, no-one knows what came where.)
November 30, 200717 yr Author Yep France are the only country to have a less successful record than UK in 21st Century Eurovision!
December 1, 200717 yr They did have two top 5s in a row earlier this decade so I would argue they've done better than us, seeing as on average we've had bad to mediocre positions thus far...I'm certain Portugal have done worse than us thus far :heehee:

I'm sure the statistic I heard was more significant than that lol....but the above is definitely true! :P
