The United Kingdom gave zero points to ABBA in 1974

While the UK judges awarded ABBA zero points toward their winning total on this night in 1974, their English-language “Waterloo” became an instant hit with the British public—the first of nine UK #1 hits for the biggest group ever launched by the Eurovision Song Contest.

Ironically, even though ABBA placed first in the 1974 Eurovision song contest (for the song "Waterloo"), the British jury didn't give any points to them.
