Here are the current YouTube views for the highest viewed video of all of this year's entries. This turned out to be a good indicator of who 2011's winner would be with Azerbaijan coming out on top easily ahead of France, Hungary and Estonia. In 2012, due to issues with the official Eurovision upload, Loreen was towards the bottom. However, other 'Euphoria' videos did have more views than the majority of other entries.

 

This year, thanks to ESCTracker.com, here are the views for the most viewed version of the song on YouTube. They are not necessarily Eurovision.tv videos, just the highest viewed video of that song which means that we won't miss out highly viewed videos not on Eurovision's official account. Therefore, it is important to consider the populations of the countries as high proportions of views may come from the home country.

Here is the 2012 topic: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=140688

Earlier today the Eurovision YouTube account uploaded 2 videos of each of the live performances from the first semi final. I find it very interesting that Anouk from The Netherlands has around 20,000 views combining both videos, and the next most popular videos with my quick calculations are Montenegro and Denmark with around 7-8,000 views. Quite a big gap there! :o
