Here we have a thread where we can post any ratings we find for national finals, and also the ratings in different countries for Eurovision in May.

 

6th Feb

MF - Heat 1 (Sweden) - 2,976,000 (The lowest MF ratings for the 1st Heat since 2002 - but still the biggest show of the week)

 

DMGP - Final (Denmark) - 1,864,000 (Same as 2005 & 2006, higher than 2007, 2008 & 2009)

 

MGP - Final (Norway) - 1,369,000 (A bit down on last year)

 

7th Feb

Netherlands - 2,100,000

down in Sweden :( I guess they're a bit annoyed with failing to come top ten three years in a row (for the first time ever?)

 

they NEED to return to the top ten this year, and to do this they need to move forward with the times! and seeing as every other country seems to be going back in time for 2010, it's Sweden's perfect opportunity to send something contemporary :lol:

LOL So high for Dutch selection :mellow:

27th February

MF - Heat 4 (Sweden): 2,363,000

 

A series low, and in 2009 it got 3,188,000. Since 2004, ratings for heat 4 have always been above 3,000,000. But still the most watched program on Saturday night

 

NOTE: I have contacted the person I got these from, to see if he could give me all the ratings he has for the national finals of 2010. If I get them, I shall post them all here :)

Ooh very much down in Sweden then...for the UK I expect somewhere around 4-5m for the 90 minutes on average. The first 30 minutes will be up against Corrie, which will drag the average down quite a bit.

It's kinda funny that 2,5 million Norwegians were watching the ESC final last year, thats more then 50% of the Norwegian population :lol:

That's absolutely loads. :o I know Greece record similar figures too... that 2.5m must have been a good 90% of the viewing population too? At least! :o In the UK it got 7.91m last year, which would've equated to about 30-35% of viewing public, and about 13% of the British population.

Here are more ratings I have been given:

 

Finland: Heat 1: 713,000

Finland: Heat 2: 570,000

Finland: Heat 3: 779,000

Finland: Final: 1,004,000 (25% of Finnish population)

 

Spain: 2,630,000

 

Sweden: MF Heat 2: 2,823,000

Sweden: MF Heat 3: 2,876,000

 

So with the Swedish heats, the highest was in the first, then a drop to heat 2, a rise to heat 3, and a major drop to heat 4

Looks like not many people like Jöback after all :kink:

6th Mar

 

Sweden: Second Chance: 2,894,000. Up on 2009 [2,886,000] but down on 2008 [3,090,000] & 2007 [3,040,000]. Overall, this year's ratings have been lower than normal

 

Portugal: National final: 880,000. 6th most popular show of the day in Portugal. To compare, the most popular was a soap which got 1,363,000

7th Mar

 

Belgium: Song Presentation: 885,000. The old Eurosong format used to pull in over 1,000,000 viewers

 

As my source said, well done VRT :rolleyes:

12th March

 

UK: YCNY: 2.9 million

 

Well done BBC, when YCNY was on a Saturday night last year, I'm sure it got quite a lot more than that :rolleyes:

 

It didn't have much competition on other channels, yet on Saturday's, when it did have competition, it got:

 

2009 - 5.61

2008 - 5.02

2007 - 5.75

2006 - 6.75

2005 - 7.22

2004 - 6.86

2.9 million is AWFUL

 

Pete Waterman was a dire choice of songwriter though

MF gets more than that mostly, and the UK must have far more residents than Sweden.

 

But after a bad result this year, hopefully the BBC will see the selection format needs changing again - to EXACTLY the same as MF!

That's bloody terrible, I'm not sure how many were watching MF today, but there were 1.43 millon votes :o

That's another thing about YCNY. I tried three times to vote for Josh, but I think the BT landline was busy so I couldn't get through. I know someone else was the same, apart from the tried to vote for Alexis. Managed to get through on my mobile, though

 

I didn't either bother voting in it. I couldn't care less who sings it, it's a bottom five whatever happened :drama:

Odd. Esma would have been superb if she hadn't f***ed up :snif: Josh is OK though, and if the song gets enough of a makeover I reckon we can do back to 11-16 :)

12th March

Greece: A high of 39.1% of the viewing audience. 2009 saw a high of 32.7%, so we have an improvement :)
