In the aftermath of the Grand Final, Eurovision 2018 artists have started climbing the worldwide Spotify and iTunes charts. They really are on fuego, and they ain’t cooling down anytime soon.
We’ve put together a list of all the contestants in Lisbon whose songs are already charting in the top 10 in at least one country. Keep in mind, we don’t list every country where an act is charting, nor do we mention every act.
There are simply too many! If you’d like to know that Australia’s Jessica Mauboy is charting at #184 in Bermuda, head over to esctracker, where the full list is available.
So, without further adieu, here are this year’s biggest commercial hits (as of Monday at 16:00 GMT).
Cyprus is at #1 in five countries, while Austria, Denmark and Germany can each claim #1 in two markets of their own.

How are your favourite acts faring commercially? Which of the acts listed do you think will continue to climb, and which have already seen their peak? Let us know in the comments below!
It would be a major feat for Netta to appear on the Billboard Hot 100! There hasn’t been a successful Eurovision hit in the USA since Gina G with “Ooh Ahh just a Little Bit”, which peaked at Number 11 in 1996.
what i got from your comment is “i didn’t like toy so it’s impossible other people liked it so i’m gonna spin this to make israel look bad”. seriously dude, toy won fair and square, i think it’s a perfect song, i think netta is super talanted and honestly, all the other events that happand in israel in the past week are unrelated to the eurovision. enough with this bitterness with toy already
Netta 10th on global ITunes, Eleni 14th.
Spotify has both “Fuego” and “Toy” on its “Summer Hits” playlist (at least in America). Might be a sign Spotify thinks the songs have legs, as they say in the biz.
The uk midweek chart update, based on sales, downloads and streams has Surie (UK) at 32
Netta at 52
Elani at 72.
The official chart will be announced on friday
The official UK singles chart have announced this weeks sales/downloads/streams. (drumroll)
A new entry at #49 – Netta – Toy
A new entry at #50 – SuRie – Storm
A new entry at #64 – Eleni Fourera – Fuego
The full chart can be viewed here at: http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/
Perhaps if russia had won that might be true. But israel are not very good at spinning.its not their way.
Russia not making it surprised the crud out of me. I was sure Putin’s trolls were gonna find a way to get them in the final.
Netta won but people are still talking about Fuego! LOL well done Eleni!!!
People are talking about Netta as well, obviously.
How does speaking of one song (despite the article discussing various songs) take away from another?
Yet Toy is charting higher.
Wow – I have just found out that Netta’s music video has 41 million views until today.
It’s up to 43 million now, and that’s just on the Eurovision channel.
“Fuego” has 4.5 million views on the official ESC channel. The version on the Panik Records channel has over 6 million
Netta already peaked, but Eleni is going to continue to be a Summer hit. Wish Eleni won, she is a genuine artist
Fuegoooo
It’s up to 43 million now, and that’s just on the Eurovision channel/
“Fuego” has 4.5 million views on the official ESC channel. The version on the Panik Records channel has over 6 million.
Thought escfans thougt that radiofriendly music was somting bad.
“Toy” is closer to being the kind of kitsch Eurovision that many people enjoy than anyone wants to admit. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!)
What about spotyfy? Is people still using iTunes ?!
On Spotify Viral (Global) Netta – Toy #2 and Fuego #3. Viral is actually most important, as it tells how many people are listening AND sharing the song.
Sorry I need to correct this. Those were yesterday’s numbers. Toy #3, Fuego #9 today.
Hoooneyyyy Eleni is #1 and Netta is #100, I don’t know where you are getting your numbers!!
From Spotify.
Netta’s Toy is currently #5 on World-Wide iTunes Charts. The reason you see it at #26 on the website is due to Toy having two titles (one in English, the other in Hebrew). When those numbers are combined (as they should be, it’s the same song), she is #5.
Foureira is charting Number 15 globally not Netta, please correct.
Netta is #5 honey.
Well unless you provide solid proof, that “feeling” is only an assumption, and not a fact.
Really? Do you read international news or Israeli based news
In a few weeks let’s do the same analysis with Salvador Sobral new song. Yes, it’s true, he was not one of the competitors, but taking into account everything I have read from all around the world about his new song and his performance i admit i’m really curious to know this analysis. I do not want to disrespect this year entries, but in my opinion the real winner of the eurovision contest was Salvador. What a song and what a performance. His voice and a piano, LIVE. According to the latest news here in Portugal, Jimmy Fallon is trying… Read more »
Salvador was not competin this year, so he cannot be a winner of any sorts. His song broke records when it won, but it was not something Abba, Loreen etc hadn’t already done. It’s time to move on. The winner is Netta. Next year it’ll be someone else. I think everyone just wants to move on from the shockingly disrespectful comments and arrogance this year brought along. Let’s hope Europe will be more united next year.
As i wrote before “Yes, it’s true,HE WAS NOT ONE of the competitors, but taking into account everything I have read from all around the world about his new song and his performance i admit i’m really curious to know this analysis”. Do you understand what i’m trying to say? Yes, Salvador was not competing this year, but aroud the globe everybody says i was the real winner of the competition, isn’t it curious ? If you think his songs breaks records why don’t you go next year to the competition and try to win with a better final score,… Read more »
Nobody is saying that.
Ok. Toni, after reding better i I understood now ‘the breaking records’ real meaning.
I’m sorry for this misunderstanding.
Yes it’s true let’s hope Europe will be more united next year.
And don’t forget “Music is not fireworks, music is feeling”…. Salvador is right.
Music can be both, and very often is.
Yes, it’s true but i stiil prefer music instead of fireworks, because music can be feelings and last forever. Fireworks are just firework, just ephemeral.
That’s the Salvador message, but many still don’t understood.
🙂
I’m really happy that a lot of songs are doing well on both iTunes and Spotify this year!
Toy is actually higher on the same chart Fuego sits on. Combine the points of Toy and the Hebrew title of the same song, and she is sitting at 13k+ points, which is way above Fuego’s 9k.. Netta is also #2 on global viral list on Spotify.
Netta is also the highest-charting Eurovision artist on iTunes globally. She currently sits at #15, just ahead of Charlie Puth (“Done for Me”) and just behind Drake (“God’s Plan”).
Fuego go go go…love ya Eleni!
Erm Netta is charting in like 50 countries at the same time.
Yes, that is a justification for it, actually
Bulgaria had such a radio banger in their selection ,but instead they opted to Bones and that wasnt the leading song with most points and they made a risk that didnt payed off . Lesson learn.
They probably got inspired by Azerbaijan 2017’s Bones. Thought it would stand out and all. Still a great effort. This country used to be so underrated.
I am hoping Equinox records a full album. They deserve to be more than a one-off group.
It proves that Eurovision as a platform does have huge influence over the sales or streams. Interesting how it differs to the result in some cases.
And guys.. play nice.. give the wiwi team some credit.
She’s not…where though!?
Check this. Netta – ??? (somehow this was changed to ??? but it was written in a different language.) & Netta – Toy
Eleni is just charting high because Netta has 2 versions of Toy.
Netta is Top 5 on WW iTunes if you add both versions.
Netta is charting the highest on Spotify aka the market that actually matters in 2018. She’s 52nd globally.
BREAKING NEWS. Netanyahu: Those who don’t want Jerusalem in the Eurovision now have the Eurovision in Jerusalem
BK
I wondering if Colbert will try to get Netta on his show like he tried to do with Salvador (who had to decline because of his health).
It’d be cool if Colbert tried to book SuRie as well.
Eurovision is in Israel
Germany goes to Israel
Name of the music: ” Shower time”
You really thought you’d be funny huh
You really thought i wrote that huh. It was on youtube. And i didnt know what it meant omg
Such poor taste, ugh!
selam selam was the song
It wouldn’t suprise me to see Netta do well in countries like Japan, India, and South Korea whose music scenes are apparently some of her biggest influences.
I mentioned to a guy I know at the gym that “Fuego” was my summer jam. He said that he had heard it on a Spotify new music playlist! I’m hoping “Fuego” can really start to take off in America!
Fuego has been stuck in my head since April, I believe. Highly addictive.
Benjamin Ingrosso success in charts shows that he was penalized because he represented Sweden.
Dislike as much as you want. I wasn’t even a fan of Ingrosso, but the fact that he got 24th position shows that eurofans are biased as fuck! If he was representing Italy or Ukraine you would have loved it. Thank god we got the juries.
ha, like Italy and Ukraine would ever send such a generic and dull songs lmao
Why cannot you accept the fact that people truly didn´t like the song (like me)?
It’s clear that the juries and the televoters wanted different things this year. Benjamin had one of the most modern songs in the competition that was not very Eurovision-friendly to begin with. That is what the juries saw and awarded it. But.. the televoters are pretty much stuck with same old same old.. I also believe that Sweden was somehow punished for earlier success. Benjamin didn’t deserve it. The presscenter cheered when Sweden recieved low points.. That’s ugly behaviour in my opinion. So now people don’t want us to succeed I guess. We might as well skip Eurovision and only… Read more »
Davve, Sara, Denis, etc. etc. – don’t you get tired?… We all get it: You love Sweden and you find it the best country in the world and the music that is produced in Sweden is magnificient. Good for you! But this constant bashing of anyone that did not enjoy dance you off is too much. You should take inspiration of the great Swedish designers: Less is more!
Are we talking about Ikea and H&M. If so i would say its over lessy. The wood/fabric is so thin that it breaks down in case you need to reassemble/wash it.
lol
What succes?
Damn Eleni is showing who;s the real winner. Fuego is stable at number 21 on UK ITunes, while Toy is falling. I think Fuego has bigger potential to become hit this summer and Eleni can pull an international career if she plays her cards right. Fuego is n1 in Spain and the biggest radio station is playing the song.

I don’t know if “Toy” will be a hit on the charts, but I can imagine it getting a lot of plays in the clubs. I can imagine some of the club mixes will be off the chain!
Eleni forever…She didnt disappoint with the staging, she was consistent the whole time, she worked so hard… Love you eleni queen.
Happy for them. They deserve it. But did anyone laugh when they saw wiwi reactions? xD
As an American, it’s honestly upsetting that about half of the songs from each year’s competition are not available for purchase on itunes unless you buy the entire Eurovision album (which a lot of people don’t want to do)
It’s like the artists don’t think they have a chance to succeed or make sales here…when they full well can.
yeah that really sucks….. at least let you see the live performances
Spotify Global Viral Top 50:

Yay! ‘O Jardim’ finally getting some recognition it deserves
Where is plastico fantastico aka the boy in plastic on the chart?
Michael deserved to win.
Michael Schulte is doing great, well done Germany. Portuguese gave you 8 points, thank you for such a beautiful heartfelt song
has there been a confirmation if jerusalem is gonna host esc 2019?
Not yet.. we are waiting to see if the ebu will allow the contest to be held in jerusalem… if they will have a problem with it.. then other cities in israel will propose to host… the mayor of tel aviv said he is not biding to host the contest so jerusalem will the preference but if the brodcaster KAN will say they are not willing to make the contest in Jerusalem then it wont… anyway the contest will be held in israel in any case
KAN already said there’s 0 chances that the contest will be hosted by another city. The EBU will have to bring a very good argument not to host in Jerusalem because the biggest venue is there, and the city hosted 2 times before.
i didnt hear that lol can i have a link to where it is stated? <3
I’m lowkey hoping that Haifa will offer to host
same… sammy offer stadium can be an amazing place
Even the mayor of Tel Aviv stated at the concert yesterday that the contest will be hosted in Jerusalem, so yes
Benjamin im so sorry <3 people vote for countries, not for amazing entries.
Shut up lol Sweden was been top ten in televote in 2014-7
So Netta won the contest, but Eleni walks away as the breakout star of the contest.
Yeah, the world was craving for a pale version of Helena Paparizu. She’s good but nothing special. Netta is being approached by international recording companies even before the contest, due to her internet success.
This is NOT to disparage Netta. However, nobody here in the US is really talking about her or Eurovision. Most Americans don’t even know what Eurovision is.
Also, only “Toy” is available for purchase here at the moment, but it’s not ranked in the top 200 (at least not now).
Realistically, neither Netta or Eleni will get too far outside their home countries. Recent Eurovision winners don’t generally become international celebrities. However, they both will get their 15 minutes of international fame to enjoy.
On what platform in India?
I personally wanted Eleni to win but I have to say they’re both amazing. As far as I’m concerned, they could both be international superstars. Netta has her own unique yet sincere style that makes many big names in the music business look dull whereas Eleni’s stage presence and the ability to dance like crazy while maintaining flawless live vocals makes many highly succesful female artists look amateurish. Seriously, the music industry forces people to like certain artists while gems like these get too little attention globally.
And both are now doing great on the charts!
Wish I had ur faith lol she will be back singing in some dodgy Greek nightclub by end of the year is most likley I’m afraid
LOL …. I love how you put it.
I’m afraid that also….just like Helena paparizou who had the chance to do something international but instead she chose to release songs in Greece and Sweden and just stayed there…:(
What about the other songs? please do a full list. Im curious about lithuania.
This just proves that Eleni was the real winner. That everyone wanted her to win over Israel. I dont get the results. Sounds fishy to me.
Aha, as said every year about every winner. I absolutely hated Salvador last year, but you got to accept the reality and move on, find a hobby or something.
Jesus Christ she lost get over it
WHERE’S SARA ALTO? UK YOU’RE A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Bless her but it wasn’t good enough even all those props couldn’t save that song, classic case of appeals to the core fan base but very few in the wider scheme of things .
Fuego is #21 in the top 50 viral in NEW ZEALAND! Wow, didn’t expect that.
Nice!
Do they even show Eurovision in New Zealand? Or is Robyn playing that song on repeat down there.
How the heck is Higher Ground in top 17? What’s so special about that song? Yikes
i really liked higher ground when it came out…. now i kinda forgot about it….
Not surprising. This year the ESC channel unblocked videos to Latin American and South Korea, more people were able to watch it.
