- Notable events included controversy over the participation of the contest’s youngest-ever lead singers—France’s Nathalie Pâque (11) and Israel’s Gili Netanel (12)—which prompted protests and directly led to the introduction of a minimum-age rule for 1990.
- The tie-break procedure for a potential dead heat at the top was also revised, prioritising counts of 12- and then 10-point scores.
- Yugoslavia won for the first and only time (on its 24th attempt), while Iceland finished last with nul points.
