The Eurovision Song Contest 1972 was the 17th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Edinburgh, United Kingdom and was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), who agreed to stage the event after Monaco, who won in 1971, were unable to meet the demands of hosting the event and could not find a suitable venue. The contest was held at the Usher Hall on 25 March 1972 and was hosted by Scottish ballet dancer Moira Shearer.
Eighteen countries took part in the contest, the same countries as the previous year.
The winner was Luxembourg with the song "Après toi", performed by Vicky Leandros, with lyrics by Yves Dessca, and music composed by Mario Panas (which was the writing pseudonym of Vicky's father Leo Leandros). "Après toi" became the winner with the lowest percentage of the total vote, winning with just 8.30% of the points available. Yves Dessca also wrote "Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue" that had won the previous edition, and became the second person to win the contest twice, the first person to win for two different countries and the first person to win two years in a row. Germany finished in third place for the third consecutive year, equalling their highest placement from the previous two editions.

Very proud of my country this year, Carlos Mendes was so good and still our third best result (1er,6th, 2x7th) 🇵🇹🇵🇹 Still think he could be higher...

[@o-b-1]

Great song from Portugal! My personal winner

[@fyr_og_flamme_vasil]

Only song that was worth winning (one of my all time favourite songs)

[@silencestation557]

As much as I love Vicky Leandros, my winner is UK. Beg, Steal or Borrow is just the right vibe of 1972, so authentic and beautiful. And, I really hope Ireland will come with a song in Irish again in the nearest future... It's about a time , isn't it?

The year of duets My full ranking from Israel One of my all time favorites years 🇵🇹Portugal🥇 🇱🇺Luxembourg 🥈 🇪🇸Spain 🥉 🇩🇪Germany 🇬🇧UK 🇭🇷Yoguslavia 🇫🇮Finland 🇫🇷France 🇮🇹Italy (a masterpiece) 🇧🇪Belgium 🇲🇹Malta (underrated) 🇳🇴Norway 🇦🇹Austria 🇸🇪Sweden 🇨🇭Switzerland 🇮🇪Ireland (great song but this year is strong) 🇳🇱Netherlands (how 4th?!) 🇮🇩Monaco

[@SekhmetMorgan]

I agree I dont get the Netherlands at all, one of the silliest and dumbest songs of the year, should have been down low with the duets, Norway is definitely more refined in the genre and Finland had passion! Heard once that NL was a big favorite + good draw so maybe that's why

[@Tejiknasten]

Yet a great ESC year. A very nice stage for it's time. My top 5: 1. United Kingdom 2. Yugoslavia 3. France 4. Luxembourg 5. Portugal

My top 5 Luxembourg UK Holland Germany Ireland

[@georgependarbes5898]

Luxembourg and Spain are my favourites in that order.

[@robertwilloughby8050]

Although "Apres Toi" is probably one of my favourite songs of all time, I think if Austria had rush released an English language version they'd have had a massive hit! "Beg, Steal or Borrow" was rather good (if slightly cheesy) too!

[@ankra12]

Luxembourg and the UK.

[@LAM09249]

Luxembourg 🥇 U.K.🥈 Germany 🥉

[@deanodama.5111]

Carlos Mendes is sooo handsome and that song would've deserved the win! My absolute favourite 🇵🇹 And Kudos to Ireland for sending a son in Irish! I wish they'd dare it again some time 🇮🇪

[@YtKart9]

just realised hes doing all uk eurovision stages

[@carloshugogeib7961]

After the contest I remember that the best songs, tô my taste, were from Luxembourg and Italy, the song of Italy here presented doesn't show it's beautifulness

[@Mrpallekuling]

UK clearly best but when a pretty girl sings relatively well in French she'll win of course ...
