This edition was won by UsefulNotes/TheNetherlands' Music/DuncanLaurence with the soaring power ballad "Arcade," becoming the second-ever Eurovision winner that didn't top the jury ''or'' the televote, but scored highly enough in both to give them the edge. Their victory brought the Netherlands up to five overall wins, tying the record for third-most. Little did anybody know at the time, it would also give Laurence the unusual distinction of having the longest reign of any Eurovision winner ever, with him technically holding the title for ''two years'' because of the incoming UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic and its cancelation of the planned 2020 contest. On a better note, "Arcade" became a big international hit during the pandemic interim thanks to Website/TikTok and even made the top 40 of the Billboart Hot 100 in the United States, the first Eurovision entry to do so since Gina G's "Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit" in 1997. He wouldn't be the last modern Eurovision act to manage this feat, and his win is largely credited with re-establishing the contest as a major potential springboard for the careers of any participating act.
