Countries such as France or Argentina have an election system where the top two candidates proceed to a final runoff round. Historically speaking and across all (or a large number of) such countries, how often does the candidate who came second in the first round end up winning in the second round?

I'm primarily interested in top-level elections, which are listed in this Wiki article. But if there's only data for sub-national level elections, I'll accept that as well.
