WELL DONE R MAE

 

[Zu]

Alessandra at #10

This gets a love react because I decided I quite liked it in the end

Quite the FICKLE FANNY!

 

[RJN]

are you guessing never

According to a random person on buzzjack, it’s never been more than 2 at a time

 

[dmlaw]

We had three in 1974 (although maybe not at the same time?)

Not at the same time. For some reason, their streaming didn’t all peak in the week after the contest.

Käärijä #6

 

[Zu]

*sobs with excitement at Käärijä being at #6 despite saying terrible things about him five minutes back in the Cha Cha Cha thread*

 

[Madison]

Twitter says the first ever Finnish language Top 10 hit.

What other Finnish language hits have charted?

 

[D5K]

Has there ever been a song in Finnish in the top 10?

Thanks!

 

[Ill Advised]

Beats the 25 for Lordi comfortably then

 

[Zu]

It's rather surreal listening to the chart rundown

 

[Penelope]

Omg so the juries were actually nicer to Käärijä than even the charts were? Maybe the takeaway is just that everyone got a bit too overexcited in the moment and that's fine but it's good more measured, level headed and responsible people like me and @⁨Suomi are around to do jury duty and keep things in perspective on who should actually win each year

 

[Madison]

“Sun” by Slusnik Luna (#40 in 2001) was in Finnish apparently.

EDIT: Although I’m not convinced it has lyrics.

I can’t believe that the juries didn’t give ANY points to Miracle or Eyes Closed. There goes the suggestion that we would win if we sent more established acts.

Käärijä #6

Not quite the public favourite then?

 

[D5K]

A big "statement" eh?

 

[Soldi]

The way the host pronounces Käärijä

 

[Madison]

Not quite the public favourite then?

It’s rigged. Sweden owns Spotify.

 

[GNL]

What was number one?

 

[Soldi]

What was number one?

San Marino’s entry.

 

[GNL]

San Marino’s entry.

In my heart.

 

[Alex]

Well number 2 was way better than I ever imagined she’d get to a week ago !

 

[Zu]

#1 would have been much nicer of course but when she and K are waiting for the coffee to arrive in Helsinki she can crow, "Did you hear that I was bloody #2 in the UK DARLIN'?"

Which all suggests that the 8 points for Ms Blanka was not entirely down to the diaspora!

Oh, people were BOPPING to Ms. Blanka!

Followed by “EXCUSE me DORLIN’, that’s a salted caramel latte, and you ordered a COOKIE CRUMBLE”

From Official charts

Prior to this week, the last time multiple Eurovision entries graced the UK Official Singles Chart Top 10 simultaneously was back in 1982, with two tracks managing it. In 1982, German entry Nicole topped the chart with A Little Peace, while the UK’s Bardo concurrently peaked at Number 2 with their song One Step Further
