In context

How good was it, really?
30% of the most it could have scored in the final (24 of 80)
#379 of 1,461 final results ever on that share, and #66 of 72 winners
2 sets of votes gave it their top mark
15th entry for Sweden, and its 1st win

The share compares eras fairly: points divided by the most one song could have scored that night, meaning the top mark from every other country. Before 1975 the top mark is the most any jury gave one song that year.
