How the 1969 tie is counted

Eurovision 1969 ended with four joint winners: France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. Each country therefore receives one victory in the all-time ranking.

Does 2020 count?

No. Eurovision 2020 was cancelled and had no winner, so it adds no victory to any country.
