The Eurovision song contest 2021 was a great success in every way, there's no doubt about that. It managed to keep the virus out (well, almost....) and gave people all around Europe what they wanted: a live show. That is proven by the viewing figures that are all over Europe the best ones in many years if not record breaking. (Well, almost...) 183 million people turned in to watch the shows on television or online where over 50 million people in 234 countries joined in!
But the real success comes afterwards in streaming platforms. I have never witnessed such a rush to download and stream the Eurovision songs. And so many of them! Besides the winners Italian Måneskin who has really taken over the globe with their music, not only the winning song but their music in general, notable success has been evident for Ukrainian Go-A and Finnish Blind Channels, but that's just to name a few.
I have already lost of Måneskin's records including the most streamed Italian song within 24 hours ever (over 4 million), the first Italian song in the Uk Top-20 charts in 30 years (entering number 17), over 52 million streams already days ago in Spotify, 42 million views for their Eurovision performance already on Youtube.... And yes, they have sold already over 100.000 tickets to their coming tour!
This was the start the day after for Måneskin's Zitti e buoni:
A few days ago Zitti e buoni was in Spotify's Viral Top-50:
