WATERLOO

Abba

SWEDEN - 1974

5 POINTS FROM: Finland & Switzerland.

It may surprise many that only 2 countries gave Sweden 5 points. Each country’s jury of 10 could award a point to its individual preferred entry. Despite the worldwide popularity of  ABBA, “Waterloo” only received points from: Netherlands (3); Norway, Israel, Germany (2);  Spain, Yugoslavia, Ireland, Luxembourg and Portugal (1). Sweden failed to impress the jurors from Italy, UK, Belgium, Monaco & Greece. Nevertheless, ABBA remain Eurovision’s most famous winners with the sensational "Waterloo".
