Eurovision 2025 on YouTube: San Marino Wins the Algorithm, JJ Loses the Love, and Sweden Steams Up the Rankings
Two months after JJ triumphantly lifted the Eurovision 2025 crystal microphone for Austria, the real battle is happening far from the stage – on YouTube. Streams don’t care about jury points, and the numbers tell a very different story. Grab a cuppa, sit back, and let’s dive into the Top 10 most-watched Eurovision 2025 official videos from 22 June to 20 July. Spoiler: it’s a wild ride.
10 – Israel | Yuval Raphael – New Day Will Rise | 5.6M (+200K)
A trilingual peace anthem (Hebrew, French, English), sun-soaked beaches, and smiling youths… far from the messy reality of the Middle East. Cynical escapism or clever PR? Doesn’t matter – 200K new views say people are buying it.
9 – Spain | Melody – Esa Diva | 5.9M (+300K)
Spain’s most-loved and most-hated diva stars in a three-minute biopic. Six million views and counting – not bad for a Eurovision flop.
8 – Germany | Abor & Tynna – Baller | 6.1M (+300K)
Germans love drama. Tynna smashes Abor’s cello in the video, and 6.1 million people apparently love watching instruments suffer.
7 – Poland | Justyna Steczkowska – Gaja | 7.5M (+200K)
Three decades after her first Eurovision, Justyna is back. Poland answered with 7.5 million clicks. Legends never die – they stream.
6 – Netherlands | Claude – C’est la Vie | 8.2M (+500K)
The melancholic king of Amsterdam racks up 8.2 million views. Nostalgia never looked so chic.
5 – Austria | JJ – Wasted Love | 9.9M (+600K)
Austria’s Eurovision winner gets humbled by YouTube. 9.9 million views and a painful truth: the trophy doesn’t guarantee the clicks.
4 – Italy | Lucio Corsi – Volevo Essere un Duro | 14M (+1M)
The Ziggy Stardust of Tuscany: 14 million streams, a video drenched in ‘90s tragedy, and a generation questioning masculinity. Bravissimo.
3 – Sweden | KAJ – Bara Bada Bastu | 18M (+1M)
A sauna anthem gone viral. 18 million people sweating over Swedish hygge without ever setting foot in a spa.
2 – Estonia | Tommy Cash – Espresso Macchiato | 26M (+7M)
Tommy serves irony cold, like a good espresso. 26 million clicks later, Starbucks should be worried.
1 – San Marino | Gabry Ponte – Tutta l’Italia | 35M (+4M)
Eurovision’s last-place finisher takes the YouTube crown. 35 million streams and one universal truth: San Marino may not win the stage, but it rules the algorithm.
