Actually, they said the opposite.

“It would mean that every Ukrainian would have won. Because Ukraine has to win – in all senses”.
ps. I don't see how it's even a problem - we can give hosting to someone else

They've changed their tune then! They literally said a few weeks ago they don't want to win because of the hosting responsibilities. Then again, that could be the broadcaster speaking through them lol

Now, somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that douche from broadcaster/Vidbir who got sacked said that and he said it even before the war...

I thought Go_A was #1 in Germany as well.
Stefania views after 24h: 1.823.363 (104.378 likes)
Shum views after 24h: 2.899.697 (149.359 likes)
Wonder what has to happen for videos to trend. Albania (as the only other song from this semi) made it to #2 in Germany (also #3 in Austria). Why?!

They have already outperformed Go_A. UK (no diaspora) and Germany are shocking. Some countries are surprising for me too. Like... Finland? 2nd semi, no diaspora
. But honestly, for all the complaining about sympathy votes, I don't think people would have voted for a song just because they feel pity, even if they didn't like it. (I swear I die a little every time people say that Salvador won because of his health conditions.) Might it factor into the results? Maybe, but it's nowhere near to the extent that naysayers think. Ultimately, Ukraine's potential good result and perhaps victory would be because people simply enjoy the song.

The videos may be popular but that doesn’t mean the song is necessarily. Of course many watch Albania, their show delivers content that attract a lot of people
I, for example, watch almost every video of contestants, even if I don’t like the song. So will a lot of other people. Do we know if the streaming include only unique visitors?
P.s. not talking about Ukraine, only about videos like Albania, because people wonder why the streaming numbers are high but they didn’t qualify.

Shum trended at #8 in Germany after semi.
Shum received almost half of its views from Ukraine & Russia (I will do a breakdown by country again this year). We can count 1 million out in the current circumstances.
There's a huge Balkan diaspora in Germany. Albanian diaspora (+Kosovars) alone is almost twice bigger than Ukrainian. Serbia was #1 there last year, btw.

Had the impression it went even higher in Germany, guess I am wrong then.
How do you know how many views are coming from each country?
Wouldnt really call the albanian diaspora that huge in Germany. Not that it would such an impact for it to trend that high here and in Austria, but somewhere around #16 in Switzerland.

They are quite big, though - We even saw Serbian national final entries trending in Germany!
The balkan community is quite strong here.
New YT trends:
#27 Switzerland
#28 Liechtenstein
#30 North Macedonia
#47 Australia o_0
Jumped to #11 in Sweden, improved to #2 in Lithuania, #4 in Finland, #7 in Belarus, #7 in Czech Republic, #9 in Norway, #12 in Ireland, #17 in Denmark, #29 in Israel, #37 in Bulgaria.
ps. Like I've said previously, very low figures in Russia (it fell from #15 to #37) so that explains lower number of views comparing to Shum. Go_A were at #3 in Russia (when ESC was still being broadcast there). Kalush scored better or equally in almost all countries and debuted in 11 new ones.

Is there any chanche EBU puts Ukraine to open the show? This could neutralize some sympathy votes and in case Kalush wins, will make their victory very well deserved in the eyes of the public and will put an end to the speculations around it. In the end this is a song contest and Ukraine has a great entry. Kalush could be really a great opening act.
Here's what I think, if someone is determined on voting for Ukraine because of the war - they'll do it regardless. So the running draw literally doesn't matter for Kalush, because this is such a unique situation.
And those votes are certainly going to give a nice boost to the other voters who are swayed by the song.
I think we're looking for a significant televote score here and the jury vote will likely be in the top 10 as well.
(There's also no other runaway leader song this year to potentially be a televote rival for Ukraine)
I also think that Ukraine got a huge lead on televote in SF1 while the rest were behind and on an even field with similar-ish scores, which is why the more jury friendly entries like snuck in

I don't think RO will impact our final result.
If we were meant to win, we will win wherever. If we weren't and the juries were always going to bring us down, then it doesn't matter when we perform (Go_A had a great spot, but that didn't change anything).
