+          This query works off the Voting Totals countries
+          received, and so if you run the query you'll see
+          that it computes (as of 2021) that France has won 6
+          times, when the official record puts this at 5 for
+          France.  This is due to a tie that occurred between
+          Sweeden and France in the 1991 final, and how it was
+          resolved.  From <a target="_blank"

+          “After the four-way tie at the 1969 contest, a
+          tie-break system had been implemented, where a
+          count-back on the number of top points awarded was
+          used. Since both countries received four 12-points,
+          but Sweden gaining five 10-points over France's two,
+          Sweden was declared the winner with France coming
+          second.”
