1972 saw 6 male/female duos in the line up, and none came higher than 4th. In the entire history of the contest only 2 duos have ever won, so to have 6 in one contest was way above average. For the first time in years, there was also only one song sung in English, as Ireland opted for Gaelic, and Malta went for Maltese.
