Eurovision: Weekly Momentum

Aussievision’s latest Eurovision chart put Italy, Greece and Cyprus at the top of its April 13–19 listening table, using Spotify streams and official Eurovision YouTube views as a weekly measure of song momentum. (aussievision.net) The chart counts two things fans can do before rehearsals start: play a song on Spotify and watch its official video on the Eurovision channel. Aussievision said it ranks entries by activity from April 13 to April 19, 2026, and also tracks longer-running totals since each song’s release. (aussievision.net) In the previous week’s chart, Italy’s Sal Da Vinci led Spotify with 1,794,003 streams for “Per sempre sì,” while Greece’s Akylas led Eurovision YouTube views with 304,351 for “Ferto.” Cyprus, Sweden and Finland also sat near the top of the Spotify table for April 6–12. (aussievision.net) That matters in late April because the contest is moving into its final pre-show stretch. Eurovision’s official channels list Vienna as the 2026 host city, with the live shows set for May 12, 14 and 16, and the semi-final running orders already revealed. (eurovision.tv 1) (eurovision.tv 2) Streaming charts are not the same as the scoreboard. Eurovision results are decided by national juries and public voting during the live broadcasts, but online listening can show which entries are reaching people before rehearsals, staging clips and televised performances reset the race. (eurovision.tv) (aussievision.net) This year’s field has 35 songs, according to Eurovisionworld’s country-by-country list for Vienna 2026. That makes weekly audience data useful mainly as a comparison tool: it shows which songs are being replayed now, not which act will necessarily win on May 16. (eurovisionworld.com) The names near the top of the streaming conversation do not perfectly match the betting market. Eurovisionworld’s odds page listed Finland first, France second and Denmark third when it was crawled last week, with Italy outside that top three despite leading the April 6–12 Spotify chart. (eurovisionworld.com) (aussievision.net) Aussievision said it will keep publishing the chart each week until Vienna. For now, the clearest signal is narrower than a winner prediction: some songs are already finding repeat listeners before a single live Eurovision vote is cast. (aussievision.net)
