Every UK entry from 1959-1977 was placed first by at least one jury in every contest.

In 2000, for the first time ever, the UK entry failed to receive a top 3 score from any nation.

It finally placed eleventh of the 20 entries, which at the time was the worst showing ever for a UK entry.

The UK entry receives just fourteen points and comes joint last, raising questions over the United Kingdom's future in the contest.

Of all the UK entries that have made the singles chart (only three did not), it is the second least successful ever.

It was the UK entry for this award, and competed with entries from 41 European countries.

Morrissey offered his services for the UK entry in 1997 but was left on the sidelines.

The song managed 11th place - the lowest placing by a UK entry up to that point.

To date it remains his only UK single entry.

All chart positions are based on UK entries.
