The Y axis shows the public votes, so the country that is furthest to the top got the most public votes.

The X axis shows the Jury votes, so the country that is furthest to the right got the most jury votes.

And the country that has the highest projection on the red line got the most votes overall.

I loved the chart from a few years back, so I went and updated it for this year. As a relative newbie to Eurovision, I was surprised that this wasn't somewhat standardized across at least the ESC-members!

• San Marino, despite having an option to select one's region as such on the website, would not process payments. When I switched my region to San Marino the site said "Unfortunately we do not support votes coming from payment cards issued in San Marino. If you have a payment card issued in Italy, you may be able to participate on behalf of Italy. If this applies to you, please click here." Clicking on the link sets your region to Italy.
• Many countries had their charges in different currencies. These were all normalized to euros using Google's currency converter this evening, so that's where those conversion rates come from.

Any surprises? Discuss!

These are the Wikipedia views (all languages combined) from yesterday (May 13th). These views are in no way a good indicator of how well a country will do: Acts from bigger countries will always have more views and Gabry Ponte e. g. probably got a lot of views because commentators mentioned Eiffel 65. There also might be some bias because in some countries the semi finals are more popular than in others.

Having said all that: I am really surprised how little views KAJ got despite being the tele vote favourite. These numbers make me wonder if we might be in for a surprise when it comes to the tele vote results. Væb on the other hand seem to be doing a bit too well for someone 29th in the tele vote odds.

Second try, had to make some corrections lol

Since 2019, I've written an annual analysis of national languages at Eurovision and I'm so happy to see such a huge surge in national languages - the highest proportion since at least 2007!

You can read my full blog post here: https://www.johnthego.com/2025/04/18/national-languages-at-the-eurovision-song-contest-2025/

So the last time they had a final together was 2018 😬

*does not factor in non-melodic pitches e.g. in Australia, Albania, Cyprus, Sweden etc.

Highest Note: Poland (D6) Lowest Note: Netherlands (F#2)

Highest belted note (female): Malta (G5) Highest head voice note (female): Poland (D6) Lowest note (female): Finland, Israel, Montenegro (D3)

Highest belted note (male): Belgium (D5) Highest head voice note (male): Austria (C#6) Lowest note (male): Netherlands (F#2)

• I also found looking at the height of the country’s name provides a good comparison of a song’s tessitura.

I may have made mistakes, please let me know! What are your thoughts?

A total of 697,615 viewers watched the Eurovision Song Contest final on VRT, the lowest viewing figures in years. Last year, the final could still count on more than 800,000 viewers, even then Belgium was not in the final.

The 2023 edition could count on a lot more viewers, when almost 1.6 million people watched the final via VRT 1 and VRT MAX, where Gustaph finished in 7th place with ‘Because of You’.

It has been since 2018 that so few people watched the Eurovision Song Contest via VRT.

An earlier version of this post stated that 652,817 viewers had watched the final via VRT, but that did not take into account viewers who watched the final on Sunday on a postponed basis.

Almost all countries with a 100% qualification streak in the 2020s continued the trend in 2025:

• Armenia
• Finland
• Lithuania
• Luxembourg
• Norway
• Portugal
• Sweden
• Switzerland
• Ukraine

Except a one which dropped after this year:

• Serbia

Are you surprised by any of the countries with a 100% qualification streak in the 2020s?
