Who will win the 69thEurovision Song Contest, succeeding Nemo, the Swiss winner of the 2024 edition? For the time being, it's still too early to say, but the predictions are multiplying. According to the bookmakers, the Swedish candidate and the Austrian representative are among the big favourites. But there are still a few weeks to go before the final outcome. Until then, anything can still happen.
On the Eurovision Youtube account, some songs are viewed more than others, perhaps setting a trend for what's to come. So, which video is currently the most viewed on Youtube? Which clip dominates the ranking? We answer.
To date, the official video posted by the Swedish candidate has the highest number of views on the Eurovision Youtube account, with 7.2 million!
The video from KAJ, the group representing Sweden this year, is well worth a look. Funny and quirky, the video reflects the image of its performer, who is one of the 5 bookmakers' favorites, thanks to his song " Bara Bada Bastu ".
In second place among the most viewed videos on Youtube at the moment is that of Polish artist Justyna Steczkowska. Unlike KAJ, she is not currently ranked among the top 5 favorites by the bookmakers.
The video clip for her song " GAJA " now has 4.1 million views. The artist is nicknamed " the shaman of the Polish music scene ". Singer, violinist, composer, songwriter, actress and photographer, Justyna Steczkowska has released 19 studio albums, recorded over 200 songs and received numerous awards. The artist was also a member of the jury of The Voice of Poland. Justyna Steczkowska has also represented her country at Eurovision. It was in 1995, with the song"Sama".
In third place is the video of Dutch candidate Claude, viewed 3.5 million times. Claude, whose full name is Claude Kiambe, has already made a name for himself in the Netherlands with his single"Ladada (Mon Dernier Mot)", which has racked up over 57 million streams. Named"Best Artist of the Year" by Qmusic, Claude released his debut album,"Parler Français", in 2024.
Just behind, we find the video of Estonian candidate Tommy Cash, with his song " Espresso Macchiato ". To date, the video has racked up some 3.3 million views. Very popular in Estonia, Tommy Cash regularly performs at such renowned festivals as Glastonbury, Sziget and Roskilde.

To date, Erika Vikman has an opus to her credit, released in August 2021 (Warner Music), and a dozen singles.
What about France? So far, the official video for Louane's song " Maman " has 1.7 million views. But the artist was one of the last to unveil her song chosen for the contest.
So, are these views a good indication of things to come? The answer will be given on May 17. Let's not forget that these 5 countries still have to pass the dreaded semi-finals in order to qualify for the grand final. Poland,Estonia, Sweden and the Netherlands will unveil their performances on the first evening, May 13, while Finland will take part in the second semi-final on May 15.
