With the 69th Eurovision Song Contest having wrapped up, some of the songs of Basel 2025 are only just starting their journey - as they become smash hits across Europe and beyond.


The first glimpse we get to see of how popular a Eurovision song has become after the Contest is through the daily charts released by music streaming services on the Monday.

These reflect the songs that people have been streaming on the Sunday, the day after the Grand Final. And so we end up seeing which tunes audiences looked at that Saturday night and thought: "ooh that's a keeper, that one"!

No Love was Wasted on these songs

In the case of Spotify, which is the most used streaming platform globally, we saw 3 songs entering the Global Top 50 chart; which is up on the 2 that hit the same chart on the Monday after the previous year's Grand Final.

Austria's JJ has won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest with his song Wasted Love

Top of the pack was our Eurovision champ himself, JJ. The winning song for Austria, Wasted Love , hit the global charts at number 23. Close behind it at 35 was Espresso Macchiato by Estonia's Tommy Cash, with Sweden's KAJ at 46 with the Bara Bada Bastu - the first time in history that a Swedish-language song has made the Top 50.

And not too further down the chart, at 59, was club banger Baller , which hit number 59 for Germany's Abor & Tynna.

Outside of the Global chart, we got to see just how popular Wasted Love had become across the board when looking at the Spotify charts of individual countries. In total, Wasted Love impacted 29 different countries' streaming charts.

JJ's Eurovision winner hit the number 1 spot in three countries (Austria, Luxembourg and Switzerland) and Top 10 in a further 12 nations' daily charts (Finland, Germany, Belgium, Lithuania, Sweden, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Norway, Greece, Netherlands and Poland).


It's Official

Beyond that initial day of streaming, a song's popularity is best measured by its impact on the official singles charts released in various countries every week (usually at the end of the week) which rank the most popular songs in that country for the past 7 days.

At the top end of Germany's official singles chart, Baller is the highest performing Eurovision song right up there at number 3. There were 5 other Eurovision tunes that made enough of an impact on German listeners to hit their official chart too - the entries from Estonia (12), Austria (13), Sweden (24), Norway (68) and Italy (85).

Brits were in a similarly patriotic mood, with their own What The Hell Just Happened? the highest new entry at 31. The song by Remember Monday was joined in the UK singles chart by 4 of its competitors; from Germany (34), Estonia (40), Sweden (48) and Austria (53).

Host Country Switzerland was not ready to say goodbye to the Eurovision Song Contest after we had all packed up and left. The music of Basel 2025 continued to play out around the nation, evidenced by the whopping number of 22 Eurovision entries that made an impact on the Swiss official singles chart at the end of the week. The highest charting was Estonia's Espresso Macchiato by Tommy Cash, at number 2.

The Nordic nations are a Eurovision-music loving bunch at the best of times, and the aftermath of the 2025 Contest has been no exception. 13 songs entered the official singles chart in Sweden, with Iceland's chart welcoming 12, Finland playing host to 11 and Norway seeing the impact of 9.

Sweden's own Bara Bada Bastu by KAJ was number 1 in all except one of the four countries' charts: Iceland's pride and joy VÆB got the top spot in their home country after taking them back to the Grand Final for the first time since Turin 2022.

The Netherlands saw 8 Eurovision songs hit its official chart with their own Claude the highest at number 3, with C'est La Vie . Over the border to the Flanders region of Belgium it was Contest champ JJ that charted the highest of 5 new entries from the Contest, with Wasted Love at 28.

In Italy, its population veered towards the three entries of the Contest performed either wholly or partly in Italian - San Marino, Estonia and of course Italy. Lucio Corsi's Volevo Essere Un Duro was the highest placed at 21. And in Ireland, Germany's Baller was the fave of the Irish people, entering the official singles chart at 31 ahead of four other Basel 2025 bops.

But to date, there is no country's music-listening audience that has taken to the songs of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest quite like one... Lithuania!

In the official singles chart of the Baltic nation this week, a massive 29 of the 37 songs have been placed. Highest of the pack is right up there at number 1 - and it's Germany's Baller by Abor & Tynna.
