As in previous years UMK 2024 is also a hit machine. The past three years the most streamed song in Finland has been an UMK entry, last year even Top-2 (and they are still in the Top-40 after one year!) It's funny to think just a few years ago the songs didn't chart at all, sometimes not even the winner and even longer ago some songs were not even recorded and/or released.
Here's how the songs have made in the Official singles Top-50 charts. As they were release one by one on different days and over two weeks chart period the positions enter gradually. Sara Siipola has featured the best here staying in Top-5 for three weeks already.
Sara Siipola - Paskana 19. 2. 4. 5.
In the Official Radioplay Top-100 chart they have featured like this, Sara Siipola having the highest average staying in Top-40 all the time::
Cyan Kicks 69. 44. 62. 52
Sexmane 22. 57. 40. 26.
Sara Siipola 31. 40. 24. 35
Jesse Markin 51. 52. 61. 57.
Windowsman95 56. 59. 69. 38.
Sini Sabotage - 39. 43. 30.
MGN - 21. 38. 33.
In the Spotify daily charts the songs have reached a peak at (not sure if this list complete and accurate, I lost track at some point). Sara Siipola has been reigning here as well. (The total streams as of today 10.2.2024)
Cyan Kicks 10. (1.000588)
Sexmane 2. (1.619.955)
Sara Siipola 2. (2.197.388)
Jesse Markin 15. (595.869)
Windowsman95 9. (651.274)
Sini Sabotage 5. (772.771)
MGN 2. (1.411.295)
In the Finnish fans chatroom Viisukuppila's poll Sara Siipola is a very clear winner from the beginning of the poll. One can vote for two favorites and here's the result:
1. Sara Siipola 141
2. Sini Sabotage 54
3. Cyan Kicks 39
4. Jesse Markin 33
4. Windows95man 33
6. MGN 31
7. Sexmane 15
If we look at Wiwibloggs international poll the result is like this:
1. Sara Siipola 1.424
2. MGN 589
3. Cyan Kicks 554
4. Sini Sabotage 471
5. Windows95man 357
6. Jesse Markin 357
7. Sexmane 158
So, what can we do about these results? That Sara Siipola has it already in pack? No. Finns tend to unpredictable voters and we must remember these results are more or less unknown to majority of watchers tonight, most of them still haven't even heard all the songs as usual. A common viewers leaves it all for tonight as there hasn't been a Käärijä like phenomenon this year they have no idea what to expect. We must remember Sexmane does have a lot of fans and Finns usually go for novelty entries as well or Windows95man this time around. And who knows how MGN will appeal....
