What makes this victory even more remarkable is the fact that, for the first time in years, the votes of the professional jury and the public matched completely. DARA topped both rankings, an extremely rare achievement in modern Eurovision history and undeniable proof of the scale of her success.

Even more historic was the enormous points gap between Bulgaria and the rest of the competition.
