who has scored the most points in eurovision
Voting at the Eurovision Song Contest "A Million Voices" sung by Russian artist Polina Gagarina, became the first song to get over 300 points without winning the contest; with a new voting system introduced in 2016, Australia became the first country to get over 500 points without winning the contest. In 2017, Bulgaria became the first non-winning entry to score above 600 points, as well as Portugal becoming the first country to get over 750 points - winning the contest as a result of this. As the number of voting countries and the voting systems have varied, it may be more relevant to compare what percentage of all points awarded in the competition that each song received (computed from the published scoreboards [1] [2]. The table below show winning songs by the percentage of all votes.
