- The 1969 contest produced Eurovision’s first-ever four-way tie, with the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and France all finishing on 18 points; because the rules allowed multiple winners, all were declared joint winners, but a shortage of medals meant only the singers were honoured on stage and songwriters received theirs later.
- Austria was absent amid rumours it refused to compete in Francoist Spain.
- Although billed as a colour broadcast, Spain saw it in black-and-white and the colour recording arrived late, leaving only a monochrome copy for years.
