The 1st SF was followed by 170.000 people (20,6%), broadcast 1h later.

I didn't find the rates for the 2nd SF.

The Final was followed by 406.448 people (32.6%).

I know I am late, but:

: Viewing figures in the second semi: 923 000. In the final only 889 00 (but still 59% for NRK1). Last year the final had 1 681 000 viewers. But even though Norway was not in the final and large parts of Norway experienced summery weather/temperatures this week end with 4 days off in a row - the ESC still achieved these viewer counts. Clearly Norway is NOT loosing interest in the ESC.

Finally got the viewer count for the USA from a comment on Showbuzz Daily. Drumroll, please:

: 52k viewers

I thought it'd be a bit more (my guess was 80,000, if you must know), but this is a start. It's not what I guessed, but it wasn't at 10,000 or less either, so that's good.

Considering Logo never gets more than 400k and this was the first time Eurovision was ever broadcasted, it's not bad for a first time when the country isn't even participating.

Well out of boredom I decided to go to Hunan TV website to see the Chinese internet viewership:

::na SF1: 396,000
::na SF2: 189,000
::na F: 342,000

Approximately 100,000 viewer increase over last year if they keep up with this pace they will catch up with Australia levels of popularity in 5017 a.d.
Also most of the comments were about Justin Timberlake.
