Eurovision 2021 has come and gone. But it’s so much more than a one-night extravaganza. Almost all of this year’s entries are finding new life on Spotify. Eleven songs have even cracked Spotify’s global top 200 chart for Sunday 23 May. By comparison, only four Eurovision songs made the global charts on the day after the 2019 final.

Spotify Global Viral Charts – Top 50 – 23 May 2021

Spotify Local Charts – 23 May 2021
You can view all the local charts on the Spotify Charts website.
Have you been listening to many Eurovision songs on Spotify? Did you expect so many to crack the charts? Let us know below.
Today the Maneskin are the third most listened to artists in the world and have beaten the likes of Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Pink, Coldplay and Bruno Mars. Better than Damiano, Victoria, Ethan and Thomas only BTS and Olivia Rodrigo, current queen of all charts with her debut album. 10 hours ago
We are experiencing a cultural reset in eurovision even stronger than the one in 2012. Things will change and I love it
This Eurovision edition is SUCH a success. A success for national languages, for cultural diversity, for high level production, for good music in general. I’ve seen a lot of very positive reviews saying that the contest is much more modern that what people expected. I think we’re moving away from the « trollfest » that ESC used to be in people’s mind. I’m so happy about it. The Dutch team did an amazing job and all the delegations as well for selecting their songs. I hope that this will motivate even more quality artists to participate next year.
Unfourtunetely there are more trolls among fans instead.. 😀
Fully agree and I am happy with it. I feel though that a big part of the ESC fan community are not grasping this winds of change…
Twitter collapsed today after Kateryna confirmed collaborations with Maneskin, Gjons Tears ,Blind Channel and Montaigne, Italians fans gone absolutely crazy over this news lol
she also said Gjon is moving to France and they will meet there soon, so adorable,
I love Eurovision 😀
I didn’t know that, that’s amazing. It’s basically almost all of the top 6 acts plus a very amazing but underrated one collaborating together. Great news indeed. Thank you Berta 🙂
Queen Kateryna ! yes colab with Måneskin !! Damiano will be very pleased Haha
ok, their genial friendship with Gjon is the cutest thing ever, aww
Go_A and Montaigne will be fun
That is great idea also because all those acts were good. Funny enough the collabs end at 6th place… I guess that’s destiny (pun intended)
I know I’m about to get boo’d for this bit but I so happy the contests has moved away from the camp drabbness of the 2000s, it is almost indistinguishable besides the call backs. The show has become so much slicker, cooler, diverse and much more in touch with music today. I can’t see a dancing turkey ever performing in this eurovision which makes me happy Previously, in all editions I really disliked the vast majority of the music, this is the first year where so many songs were amazing and everyone (almost) elevated good or bad songs via staging.… Read more »
You spit facts queen
I am very happy too. When I discovered Eurovision as a kid in the 90s, Eurovision was a very decadent thing, I think it’s a miracle it didn’t die back then. Now it’s something that you can share with lots of people and it does have an impact on society. Still lots of haters but the quality and the level of the music and the shows have improved beyond any expectation I could have ever had.
Agreed. Once upon a time you were unlikely to listen to the songs again, you might have bought your own country’s song but certainly not ones from the other nations. Now the acts are breaking into global charts, getting millions of streams worldwide etc… the standard really has improved.
Indeed! My mom watched this year’s contest after many years of ignoring it (because of its drabness, as you mentioned) and felt nicely surprised seeing the contest having a new life
Amén!
I agree. This year it also showed that to succeed in the contest you need to be authentic – 4 out of first top five songs are sung in national language, and 9 out of first 10 songs are written by the performers themselves. This authenticity translates when delivering the performance on stage and it gets you votes. I also don’t think Eurovision should ever scrap jury (like some of wiwibloggers are saying) because they are the ones who ensured rise in quality of the contest over the past decade and brought it back from the camp drabness that was… Read more »
Totally agree! I think though that many fans are missing those days, though…
Flabbergasted by Ukraine’s popularity but good for them! There are a few ESC themed memes circulating around Serbia, the one about Ukraine is hilarious – it shows the Ukrainian singer giving the “evil eye”, and the text says: “Ukrainian performer accidentally puts a curse on 180 million spectators” 🙂 (no point in sharing it here, it’s in Serbian, and I haven’t found it in English, it’s probably local).
Not to mention they have 2 versions; the original and the ESC version.
The first version is a masterpiece! So good.
Too bad you didn’t share it. At least a quarter of the Europeans here would understand it because it’s a Slavic language. I’m curious to see it.
Greeks are celebrating Stefanias position like shes won lol. You cant imagine guys. Flowers, interviews on big greek shows… How times change, when Kalomira finished 3rd she got such a negative backlash she left the country ( Greece then was a ESC powerhouse ), now that Greece hasnt seen top 10 since 2013, Stefania is a goddess ( which she is! ) Really glad for her though. Shes already saying that she wants to do Eurovision again in a few years. If she managed to finish in the top 10 with THAT staging, she can win if she comes back… Read more »
Omg, was it that bad? I’m really surprised to see that story about Kalomira tbh. 3rd place sounds amazing even when you’re a powerhouse in the contest!
Greeks thought she had a winning chance. I remember greek media saying after the final ” we should have sent Kostas Martakis ( a big name competing in the national final that year ). Theres no way he would have done better though.
Of course, many greeks were rational enough to celebrate and love Kalomira to death till this day.
And please, sing in Greek, which is a beautiful language!
Come on, only some trashy TV shows were blaming her, the majority of people still love her a lot
Not to mention what Sakis Rouvas heard after ending up 7th in 2009! Crazy!
On iTunes here in Canada, both Barbara and Gjon are in the top 6 of the Musique Francophone (French music) chart. Hopefully both can get more traction in the French-speaking parts of the country, in 2016 Amir peaked at #1 on the Francophone radio airplay chart
Amir’s song also made it into Xavier Dolan’s latest film – set in French Canada. I suppose it was a “thing” there.
At first I thought that the one year break of the contest will harm the brand but apparently with all this diverse line up this year the contest is leading in a new direction which I absolutely love. Unique acts, impressive visuals, music for everyones taste without being -very- cheap or annoying. Cant wait for the italian flavour in the contest next year
Correction: Måneskin’s “Zitti e buoni” is the ninth most-streamed song in the world WITH A LANDSLIDE!
Zitti E Buoni is #1 on the Norwegian Top 50 Spotify Charts as well. I also found Fallen Angel, Voila, Voices, El Diablo and Dark Side inside the top 10 too. Amazing <3
Unrelated but I really hope we’ll get a break from Florian Wieder as a stage designer next year and that the one who designs the incredible Sanremo stages will be in charge of the eurovision stage. I want to see local talents designing the stages!
SOMEONE PIN THIS COMMENT, ENOUGH WITH WIEDER, SJB AND DIETMAN, HIRE LOCAL TALENT ITALY.
#flattered
The Sanremo stage has been designed by various people throughout the years. In 2021 and 2020 it has been designed by the veteran Gaetano Castelli and his daughter. In 2015, 2016 and 2017 by Riccardo Bocchini (you can find the timelapses on youtube by searching “scenografia festival sanremo”. In 2018 it was Mrs. Emanuela Trixie Zitkowski, daughter of the deceased myth Zitkowski, an old stage designer of the old RAI shows of the seventies and eighties. For the multicam director, the most acclaimed for the role is Duccio Forzano, who directed the Sanremo Festival 6 times in 2010, 2011, 2013,… Read more »
The stages of Sanremo are oldfashioned and unpractical for Eurovision stagings. I don’t like most of the stages Wieder has designed over the years, but they were mostly appropriate for the show. Sanremo is miles worse than Eurovision in every sense so I hope they don’t do nothing remotely similar to it.
I am Italian and I totally agree with you Lemon. The ESC was superb and much ahed of all the shows (inclusing Sanremo). Hope will be an international team (including some italians of course and the ones who did it this year in NL ) who will take care of it for the next edition in Italy!
I agree totally! But if that will be the case, you won’t imagine what kind of backlash Italy will have !!!
I feel I may have to lay of Wiwibloggs comments for the next year as they are getting quite frustrating to read. By all means compliment Italy 2021, but do not do it at the detriment of others. We as euro fans should still be happy about other artists making it into the mainstream like Duncan and Dadi. On Twitter someone said maneskin were the first commercially successful Eurovision artists as europhoria was a commercial flop…
Be excited, but do not rewrite history.
Why do you take Twitter coments seriously? lol Especially during these days, a lot of comments come from people that know nothing about Eurovision (and that’s ok, I’m not saying that they should know what eurofans know). For example, how many tweets can you find from UK and Spain talking about leaving the contest using fake information? Thousands, easily. And like that, a lot more things related to the contest.
Do these people know of Abba? Céline Dion? Probably not.
here we go again with this twitter thing
I completely agree re the Twitter thing – however I’ve seen similar attitudes on here as well!
Also can I mention how the last two winners are/are slowly evolving into global music stars? Duncan had a huge success, performing at a lot of popular tv-shows and now Maneskin is BLOWING up on Tik Tok and are on their way of becoming global sensations as well… I think this brings a lot of credibility to the contest
They are not the only ones.
who else.
Actually Alexander Rybaks songs blown up from TikTok
As I was watching the TVE news while having dinner, they had an interview with Salvador Sobral, who just released a new album and is touring around Europe, with many stops currently in Spain, being most dates alrey sold out. I was never a fan of his song back then, but this is wonderful.
yes! I’m from the Seattle area all the way up in the Northwest United States and I just heard Arcade on the radio a couple days ago! I had never heard a Eurovision song on American radio since I started following the contest in 2005.
I am so happy that my babies are doing so well!! I feel like a proud mother hahaha. They all deserve this succes after how hard they have worked on all of this!! Can’t wait for next year.
Not related to the post but stefania just revealed on her insta live that the Greek team (not specified who exactly) told her that she is definitely coming back to eurovision in 3 years for greece
Emphasis on “did not specify exactly who” tho cause she could mean the little jokes she and the greek team made at the airport in greece front of the journalists or she already had behind-doors discussions about ESC 2024 (but she said specifically that she was told she’s coming back in 3 years)
But should she? Wasn’t the whole appeal of sending Stefania that Greece were essentially sending a Dutch act? Granted Stefania got Greece its best result since 2013, but she didn’t write the song (which is totally fine because she sold it well, but I’d give Dimitris more credit for balancing an 80s homage, an epic grandeur and modernity sonically).
I can’t see why Stefania would be a huge draw in 2024 unless ERT know that she’s going to release a killer album and become a mega star.
I saw Stefania so often on Dutch tv, also doing interviews, that I had a hard time seeing her as Greek. Also most Dutch spoken during the three shows was by her.
True. I think if AVRATROS were smart they would select her to represent them down the line.
I think that ERT is trying the same as with Helena Paparizou, born and raised in Sweden, went first in 2001 and got 3rd place, went again in 2005 and got 1st. Stefania was born and raised in the Netherlands, went in 2021 and got 10th place and if she goes again in 2024 she might get a better result, but im only making assumptions What I mean by that is that ERT is capitalizing on the fact that stefania got more know to the continent for this act, she will be more familiar with everything and everyone for 2024… Read more »
The difference between Helena and Stefania is that Helena was (and still is- probably the most successful ESC 2000s act in terms of her post ESC career, still going on today) a dynamo force in the Greek music scene, so despite being Swedish was probably more known in Greece than in Sweden.
Stefania has based her career in The Netherlands, and so doesn’t have the same position in the Greek music scene. Unless she reconfigures it, she’ll be more of a Dutch rather than Greek singer.
“I wanna be your slave” has all the ingredients to explode in social networks like Twitter and especially TikTok and, with that, increase those numbers. Maneskin has amazing songs, they really deserve this success!
I can’t stop listening to this song!!! It is so sexy… Also congrats Wiwibloggs on hitting your first 1m views on Youtube video on this very song by Maneskin at the Wiwi Jam!!
you’re so right omg ive been listening to it nonstop too
Eurovision is changing towards the better. Diverse genres and quality songs do a lot better with the public than plastic trashy pop. It is a change I wanted to see for many years and I am over the moon seeing it finally beginning to happen!
YES YES YES!!! Honestly I am so happy. I know a lot of people like ESC for the “plastic trashy pop” and the crazy stagings but I am happy that it is kind of retuning to its roots and actually showing us good music from all around Europe. I have discovered so many new songs and artists thanks to this and this should be the spirit of ESC – bringing Europe together
I really hope this year’s results will influence future contests as well and lead to more creativity, uniqueness and a variety of genres! I am optimistic about this for the first time ever!
I also hope you guys listen to Maneskin’s brilliant album “Teatro d’ira”, I wanna be your slave is a huge bop, vent’anni and in nome del padre are amazing, la paura del buio is a gorgeous song and Coraline, my absolute favourite, is hauntingly beautiful.
They are incredible. I am not a rock fan, at all. But they surprised me and I will buy both their CDs.
I’m so proud of them.
They already reached 25 mlns views on YouTube with their Grand Final performance. Only in three days. Duncan Laurence has 26 mlns in two years.
This is history.
One thing that helps is that they didn’t geo block the Eurovision performances this year! Those of us in North America can now watch and listen without a VPN! It’s a first since 2015 or so.
Its geo blocked in the US, I have to use a VPN sadly
So did I. I had AVG VPN, and I had no trouble logging on with a Dutch IP address. SVT also televised the contest. Anyone without a VPN could have watched it there, with Swedish commentary, of course.
To be fair arcade youtube views are massively spread around like 4/5 different video’s
Wow, I haven’t commented anything on this site because I had barely gotten any time but I just wanna say how incredibly happy I am for them, I was rooting for both Maneskin and Irama to win San Remo and I fondly remember my excitement when they won, I have supported them ever since and its so fullfulling to know that Europe not only approved but more importantly, celebrated ZITTI E BUONI, a glam rock song sung entirely in italian. This is one of the best and most iconic winners of all time, such a well deserved victory. You know,… Read more »
Lmao, the Azerbaijani burn. I wish atleast they’d won with Always instead.
yes 🙁 i wish their 2011 entry and winning song was ”Always” or ”When The Music Dies”
They are not “glam” rock. Only their appeance is.
They are the true heirs of grunge: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soudgaden etc.
So it’s glam grunge?
Half of Lithuania’s Spotify Top 50 list is Måneskin’s discography. LOVE IT!
“Måneskin’s “I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE” has also cracked the global chart, while several of there [sic] other songs can be found be found in local charts throughout Europe.”
eye- the DEMAND !!! they placed 14 songs in finland’s top 200 yesterday
First of all, DAMM thats legendary.How’s the reaction in Italy?
Scondly, what does the “eye-” or the “I-” suppose to mean, it always shocks me when I read it online.
a rock song 100% in italian did THAT with zero payola, all organic success
payola??? What’s that??
Payola is illegally bribing a commercial radio station to play a particular song without publicly disclosing this fact.
in the way it’s used in the stan world rn, it also means spamming your songs across playlists to inorganically inflate streams
Zitti E Buoni is the 9th in GLOBAL charts and it is the first Italian song that achieve this.
Even for Arcade it took 2 years to being a global hit but Zitti E Buoni did that in only a few days.
These guys were performing in the streets only 4 years ago , and now they’re making history. They will be one of the most remarkable winners ever
Arcade would not be so successful as it is now if not Tik Tok. After the contest Soldi performed much better commercially.
I know I will be downvoted for this, but #9 in the global Spotify charts doesn’t mean you have a global hit yet. Arcade was 14th in the global charts a day after the final in TA.
I am more impressed that another Maneskin song and their album are doing so well, which certainly is a good sign for their career.
Zitti e buoni is number 1 on 13 countries
Buying melfest rejects and hyping them is apparently not working anymore. The slogan of 2017 is the way to go now… CELEBRATE DIVERSITY
Were there any melfest rejects in this year’s competition?
San Marino
And Malta
Wait, how could Adrenalina be a melfest reject if it literally has a song title in Italian and instruments from Senhit’s country of origin, Eritrea?
Oh, I guess they revamped it… Sorry lol
Poland as well
I think the days of typical Europop in Eurovision are over. I didn’t watch any previews to the big 5 just what I saw on the night and there really is something about Maneskin. Especially the way Damiano interacts with the camera and other band members. Like he really knows how to put on a performance. I hope they go far in the future
I thought it was about a SONG contest… What part of this noise is song?
Look, I don’t listen to Rock music. Really not my cup of tea, but I still can appreciate it from afar. I invite you to read, watch or listen to information about the very tumultuous history of Rock music and how important this music is. It’s not just noise, far far far from it. Rock made a social revolution for a whole generation and the world would be different without it.
To me this is also a wall of noise, but that’s because I generally dislike that type of music. On the other hand, Måneskin really sounded unique that night and I can see why they won. They’re probably not my favourite winner, but there was something magical about their performance..
Isn’t it time for your aftenoon nap, grandpa?
It’s got a serious groove and sticks in your head, how is that not a song? It’s pure rock, I’m an 80s child and to me this reminds me of the greatest classics of that time and the late 70s as well. But instead of misogyny and overdo on hairspray like in the 80s or the prudeness and conformity of the last decades this offers raw charisma and young rockstars being totally comfortable playing with fashion and sexuality, no toxic masculinity whatsoever. It’s so refreshing and authentic. Also so good to know that the glory days of Italian rock are… Read more »
Yay, so good to see that the Eurovision artists are getting the international recognition that they deserve! Maybe some people will finally realize that Eurovision is not only about weird gimmicks, but about discovering amazing artists representing many different genres!
Måneskin must be among the most popular winners ever! Despite the stupid fake scandal, its the first time i am seeing people who were normally not into eurovision to watch their clip and other songs as well. They are iconic
False idea. Many winners were really good sells like Euphoria, Mans and Heroes, Sobral also.
Last year despite no winner, Iceland Daði og Gagnamagnið did great on overall charts.
The exposure seems better this year because of the quality of the whole field. IMO of course.
please exclude Heroes, a song that came third in the televoting. The others you mention where popular but the star quality of Damiano is something we rarely see in eurovision. The great quality of songs this year and the need of people to forget their problems and have fun made this contest one of the most remarkable ones i think
It was 6 years ago. Get over it.
i got over it. but facts are facts.
Fact is that Heroes was by far the most commercially successful song that year.
