CLIFF'S EUROVISION HITS

1968 - "Congratulations" was pushed to 2nd place, after leading throughout the contest, by Spain and just ONE point.

Sales-wise, Cliff won hands down, knocking winner Massiel (with "La la la") off the top of the Spanish chart.

It topped the charts the world over: Belgium, Denmark, England, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, The Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand and Taiwan.

It sold nearly 2.5 million copies worldwide and is Cliff's second biggest seller of the 60's to "The Young Ones" (his biggest U.K. seller ever).

1973 - "Power To All Our Friends", despite only coming third in the song contest, did in fact, peak at No.4 in the U.K. and topped the charts in:
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Israel, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

It sold over a million copies worldwide and was Cliff's third biggest seller of the 70's behind "We Don't Talk Anymore" (his biggest seller worldwide ever) and "Devil Woman" (his biggest hit in the U.S.-No.6).

Considering that Cliff lost the contest not just once, but twice, it certainly didn't harm his record sales. His combined sales from "Congratulations" and "Power To All Our Friends" add up to over 3.5 million sales worldwide!
