The Eurovision Song Contest is one of the most watched and talked-about music competitions globally. With its origins dating back to 1956, and inspired by Italy's Sanremo Music Festival, Eurovision has become a cultural phenomenon. Countries compete with original songs performed live, and winners are chosen through a combination of jury and public votes.

In 2025, artists from across Europe (and beyond) are once again stepping into the spotlight, hoping to win the iconic contest. But what if there were no juries, no televoting, and no stage performances? What if the winner was determined solely by data—specifically, Spotify streams, YouTube views, and playlist reach? That’s exactly what we looked into using Viberate’s data insights.

Eurovision 2025: Data-Based Ranking of Top Songs

We analyzed the top contenders of Eurovision 2025 using a scoring model designed to capture both short-term momentum and long-term reach. The idea was to create a balanced view of each song's current popularity and staying power across key digital platforms.

To do this, we assigned specific weights to six metrics: Spotify streams from the past month (25%) to 

capture recent listener activity, total Spotify streams (15%) to account for broader appeal over time, YouTube views in the last month (20%) to reflect viral potential, and total YouTube views (10%) to show sustained visual interest. In addition, we included Spotify playlist reach (20%) and the number of active playlists featuring the track (10%), as both offer a measure of industry support and exposure.

This method provides a fuller picture than focusing on any single metric. It rewards consistency, not just one-week spikes, and helps us identify which songs are not only getting attention now but are also built to last. All Eurovision 2025 entries were analyzed using this approach, though the top five performers are highlighted below for clarity and focus.

1. Lucio Corsi – Volevo essere un duro (Italy)

Lucio Corsi leads the chart with consistently strong numbers across all categories. In the past month, the track earned 3.44 million Spotify streams and 265,000 YouTube views, while the total counts stand at 37.9 million streams and 11.9 million views. With 3,093 playlist inclusions and a reach of over 5.1 million listeners, his exceptional playlist presence signals sustained popularity and strong curator backing.

3. Claude – C'est La Vie (Netherlands)

Claude dominates Spotify but lags slightly in YouTube views. His song collected 4.73 million Spotify streams and just 45,000 YouTube views in the past month, with total figures at 13.9 million and 590,000 respectively. High playlist reach—6.5 million listeners across 1,728 playlists—demonstrates strong platform-specific appeal.

4. Abor & Tynna – Baller (Albania)

This track earned 2.5 million Spotify streams and just under 16,000 YouTube views over the last month, with total plays reaching 9.96 million and 377,000 respectively. Despite weaker video performance, it’s featured in 1,413 playlists with a total reach of 7.7 million, boosting overall visibility.

Strong Spotify numbers and the highest playlist reach in the top five boost this track’s overall visibility. While YouTube is weaker, it still maintains a competitive digital footprint.

5. Gabry Ponte – Tutta L’Italia (Italy)

With 3.41 million monthly Spotify streams and 25,000 YouTube views, Gabry Ponte maintains a solid pace. Total numbers come in at 13.9 million streams and 1.6 million views. He appears in 1,149 playlists, reaching 4.8 million users—making this track a steady performer in the top tier.

With solid totals across both platforms, Gabry Ponte’s track reflects strong support and reach, making it a consistent performer in the top tier.

What This Means for Eurovision 2025

The current data-driven ranking highlights Lucio Corsi and Tommy Cash as the front-runners, both showing strong momentum and long-term engagement. Melody’s Esa Diva, despite high short-term YouTube traction, doesn’t make the top five when total performance is taken into account.

This analysis shows that consistency across platforms and over time is a better predictor of potential success than short bursts of virality. Tracks with both strong recent numbers and solid cumulative data have the best shot at staying relevant and competitive.

Final Thoughts

Streaming and playlist stats offer a clear, data-driven view of how songs are performing with listeners right now. If Eurovision 2025 came down to numbers alone, Lucio Corsi would be the likely winner.

But Eurovision has always been more than just charts and streams. It’s about performance, stage presence, connection with the audience—and sometimes even surprise upsets. What happens live can completely shift the outcome.

Still, data like this gives fans and industry pros a strong early signal of which songs have real momentum. And thanks to Viberate’s analytics, it’s easier than ever to spot which artists are turning heads before the votes are cast. The rest, as always, will play out on stage.
