Jury vs televote — where they agreed and where they diverged
The four most instructive splits in the Vienna 2026 result
Bulgaria · Consensus winner
DARA — Bangaranga
Jury #1 (204 pts)Televote #1 (312 pts)
Jury #1 and televote #1 — the first entry to top both sets of votes since Kyiv 2017.
Romania · Slot-24 televote surge
Alexandra Căpitănescu — Choke Me
Jury #13 (64 pts)Televote #2 (232 pts)
Closing-slot recency effect: jury 13th but televote 2nd. The bookmaker model treated Romania as a mid-table jury bet and missed the late-slot televote ceiling.
France · Pure jury appeal
Monroe — Regarde !
Jury #4 (144 pts)Televote #18 (14 pts)
Jury 4th (144 pts), televote 18th (14 pts) — a 130-point split. The Monroe ballad landed with juries but the public left it almost empty.
Denmark · Slot-1 jury favourite, audience cold
Søren Torpegaard Lund — Før Vi Går Hjem
Jury #3 (165 pts)Televote #11 (78 pts)
Joint-2nd in the jury (165 pts, tied with Australia) but only 11th in the televote (78 pts). Opening-slot recency penalty hit the public vote despite a Composer Award win.
Douze points — who received the most 12-point allocations
The 12-point award is the maximum a single voting bloc (one country's jury, one country's televote, or the Rest-of-the-World online aggregate) can give to any entry. Below: every country that received at least one set of 12 in each of the three shows, ranked by total sets received.

SF2 televote: Bulgaria received 12 points from eight countries plus the Rest-of-the-World— the biggest single-vote dominance in any show. Grand Final jury: Bulgaria and Poland tied for most 12s received (4 each), but the points-per-set decline (jury awards 12 → 10 → 8 → 7…) meant Bulgaria's overall jury total still dwarfed Poland's 133.

Bookmakers vs actual finish — the model autopsy
Pre-final UK bookmaker winner-market positions (6 books: Betfred, Betsson, Unibet, Bet365, Betano, William Hill) vs the Grand Final result. The market favoured Finland at 2.00 (50%+ implied) and got it badly wrong.

70 years of Eurovision winners (1956–2026)
73 winning songs across 70contests — the 1969 final ended in a four-way tie (Spain, UK, Netherlands, France all on 18 points), and 2020 was cancelled due to COVID-19.
Most wins by country
Ireland 🇮🇪 and Sweden 🇸🇪 are tied on 7 wins each. France, Luxembourg, the UK and the Netherlands are on 5; Israel on 4.
Highest score ever
758 points — Salvador Sobral, "Amar pelos dois" (Portugal, 2017).
Largest winning margin
+173 points — DARA, "Bangaranga" (Bulgaria, 2026). New record.
Only three-in-a-row
Ireland🇮🇪 won three consecutive contests — 1992, 1993, 1994. No other country has done it. Three countries have won back-to-back: Spain (1968-69), Luxembourg (1972-73), Israel (1978-79).
Multiple-win performers
Only two artists have ever won twice as a performer: Johnny Logan (Ireland 1980, 1987) and Loreen(Sweden 2012, 2023). Logan also won as a songwriter in 1992 — three Eurovision victories in any capacity, a record on its own.
Longest waits
Portugal waited 53 years for a first win (1964 debut → 2017). Austria waited 48 years between wins (1966 → 2014). Spain's current drought dates to 1969.
