The charts:
In terms of iTunes sales, Australia’s Dami Im is currently charting the most across Europe, currently sitting in the top 100 of 12 countries able to vote for it tonight, and the top 200 in a further 5. Russia, who have been leading the chart battle so far this week, have exactly the same stats as Australia. However, with Dami currently in the top 10 in a country that is not her own (Sweden) she currently has the edge over Sergey, who is only currently in the top 10 in Russia.
Other notable changes come from France. Amir has been experiencing a last-minute chart rise, and is currently in the top 100 of 9 countries able to vote for him. Other countries to look out for are Belgium, who have made the top 100 in 8 countries, and Ukraine, who have made it in 7.
Sweden also musn’t be discounted. Frans’ “If I Were Sorry” is currently at number 1 in the Estonian iTunes, and has made the top 100 in a further 4 countries. Yet, as it has since it won Melodifestivalen, the song is making a big impact on Spotify, featuring in the top 100 in 6 countries. This is by far the biggest impact any country has made on Spotify this year.
Have the bookies got it right? Will iTunes have any impact on tonight’s results? Perhaps Frans’ Spotify impact will have swayed Europe? Or maybe we will have a surprise victory from another country? Only time will tell.
Tonight’s grand final will be broadcast live from the Globe Arena at 21:00 CET.
