Hey, Sweden.
Who should you put your money on to win Eurovision? Here the top ten most streamed songs on Spotify – which could be a useful guide to how Europe might vote.
Spotify compiled the data to exclude streams from an artists's home country (because, of course, they can't vote for themselves) – so it's probably a pretty good guide to which songs Europe likes most in advance of the final.
But then again, Spotify wasn't the best guide to how people would actually vote last year – it only had Conchita Wurst coming in eigthth place, and tipped Denmark's entry to win (they eventually came in ninth).
Also, yesterday we looked at which artists were the most Googled in each country across Europe (which predicted a bit win for Russia.)
Andres Putting (EBU)
Sweden – Måns Zelmerlöw, "Heroes"
Måns is also the bookies' favourite to capture the third Scandinavian win in four years. Big chorus. Opening line is "Don't tell the gods I left a mess."
Per Kristiansen
Australia – Guy Sebastian, "Tonight Again"
Australia's entry is obviously attracting a lot of attention, what with them NOT BEING IN EUROPE OR ANYTHING. Upbeat, budget Bruno Mars vibe. Stands a decent chance.
