In collating our chart of the best of Eurovision's worst, we considered all songs that have scored null points since the current scoring system was introduced in 1975, together with an array of other notable songs that have scored five points or less.

Perhaps it is no surprise that Turkish and Norwegian singers figure highly in our top ten, having scored null points no less than five times between them since the current Eurovision scoring system was introduced in 1975.

The guitars and strings of Jahn Teigen's Mil Etter Mil are reminiscent of nineties Indie-pop, and delivery bears an uncanny likeness to Apples In Stereo. Despite failing to score a single point with the song in 1978, Jahn returned to represent Norway in two further contests.
