That's a great early showing for DARA considering so many Drake songs are still ahead and that Eurovision songs usually do a lot better on Spotify than Apple - hopefully she should be top 40.

(Has a Bulgarian artist ever made the UK chart before? One of those countries that you'd expect to only trouble the chart with Eurovision hits, but even Kristian Kostov didn't chart!)

The only two I can come up with are their 2016 artist Poli Genova who reached #200, and Lucy Diakovska as a member of the otherwise German girl group No Angels, who reached #89 in 2001 with Daylight In Your Eyes.

How many Eurovision songs do people think we'll see in the Top 200 on Spotify?

Probably not many (if any) today… tomorrow will likely be the real test of what may or may not chart this week!

Last year we had:

27 Espresso Macchiato

37 Bara Bada Bastu

41 Wasted Love

46 Baller

51 What The Hell Just Happened? 🇬🇧

And 4 more from 142 down.

But this year, other than Bangaranga and Eclipse, I’m not sure much has resonated with the British public. Maybe Choke Me, My System and Eins Zwei Drei - but we also don’t know whether the songs that the UK public are downloading will be the same as the ones that they are streaming.

'Rein Me In' has already reclaimed #1 on Spotify 😅

'National Treasures' now the top Drake song at #2 and 'Billie Jean' #3

MJ is also back to #1 on Global Spotify. I assume 'Billie Jean' is the oldest song ever to top that chart as I can only think of 'Last Christmas' coming close

You can't stop the Rein! Wonder how Radio 1 will announce "Janice STFU"

They read out IDGAF by Dua Lipa countless times but shortened GAYLE's abcdefu to just "abc", so I could imagine this being more like the latter and just being called "Janice"?

Wow Drake dropped a lot then

Eurovision winning song ‘Bangaranga’ by DARA is showing up at #72 on Apple Music!

U.K. act LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER, Delta Goodrem and Sweden’s FELICIA are also appearing in the Pop chart but not the main one yet

Will Skrillex sue?

Definitely think there’ll be less Eurovision in it this year. I think 3 max in top 50. Maybe 5/6 overall in top 100/200

It weirdly doesn’t show up on her Spotify page, but there was actually a revamp of Bangaranga released on Thursday. Shame everyone is going to stream the wrong version.

Ouch I didn’t expect Drake to drop THAT much on day 2, definitely looks like another week of rein me in then

RMI back at number 1 hopefully that means the Drake stuff was just a 1 day fluke and it will of vanished by weeks end 🤞

'Make Them Cry' already falling behind two other Drake songs - early signs of him having a song debut in the top 10 and then get starred out in its second week yet again.

The massive second day dropoff is really not that shocking, if anything the shock was him still managing to do so well on day 1. I still think his star power is pretty greatly diminished post-Kendrick beef.

Bangaranga isn't far from Jump and Pinky Up in sound so definitely has chart potential.

What a fall for Drake lol. MJ will overtake him by tomorrow too.

No top 5 for Drake then even.

As much as I don’t like Drake, I’d rather have a new song of his at number 1 than a Sam Fender song that’s been in the chart for nearly a year. In other countries, Drake is destroying Sam. It’s only the UK where it’s the opposite

Drake is still #1 on AM, will definitely be #2 at least as the gap between RMI and others is huge.

Eurovision on Apple update:

49 DARA - Bangaranga

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER must be just outside the main chart judging by his position on the Pop chart
