Eclipsing top 89 faves.

As is always the way with Olivia, I have grown to love this track. One of the only 2026 released songs in the current chart I care for at all to be fair.

This song is so beautiful, shame it was originally passed over as a single in the UK. The MJ domination currently is crazy.

One of the best reactivated older hits in the last few years. Unbelievable that it didn't make the top 40 on release. Great to see Chemical Brothers back in the top ten after so long.

Yes, 42 is rather large (in months of two AQs). I suppose the huge final there is to minimise the number of non qualifiers and put people off getting disillusioned from continuing to participate. I'm imagining the riots now if there was a rule change and 50% of entries each month failed to qualify.

Oh wow, Eclipse top 100 three times based on the semi, intrigued to see how high it can go after tomorrow. Even a scrape top 75 officially would be amazing, she hasn't had a hit since 2005.

Still slightly odd that the two expected favourites in Finland and Greece didn't make a mark in the top 200, as viewing figures were 1.3m for the semi. As we know, no.200 is literally a small handful of sales. Based on our recent Girls Aloud campaign result where we found that probably circa 30-ish sales got us low top 100, we can maybe assume it's 15-20 for the top 200. I won't read too much into Delta's lead ahead of the rest here as she is still a remembered name here. What's particularly crazy is how low the UK entry is after two plays last night.

Think I'd have that below Ne-Yo and maybe Derulo, it doesn't do a lot for me. I much prefer Guetta's turn on another 2010 chart topper.

I only remembered to check yesterday and the Israel entry was top 100, and Senhit/Boy George just outside. Presume a few maybe scraped in the other day but not sure.

Eurovision barely registering after the semis, glad to see Delta making the top 40 (again – first time it did was on fanbase sales). Look Mum No Computer only No.80 after it was aired twice yesterday The Greek and Finnish favourites didn't chart after Semi 1?

Let's go! Sad for Latvia though.

Deltaaaaaaa <3

I would imagine the jury will take Czechia through, still you never know. I'd have more doubt over Cyprus and her nocals, but think it should be ok based on the song.

I predict these will Q: Bulgaria Romania Czechia Cyprus Denmark Australia Ukraine Albania Norway Undecided who will take the other spot! Latvia or Malta presumably.

Yeah, it feels like an album intro to me. The song isn't dynamic enough. But good performance.

If I didn't know the lyrics of UK already I'm not sure I'd have been able to make them out as the vocal sounded buried in the mix a bit. Think I'll resign myself now to the televote nul.

I like the Ukraine song a lot, it's my third favourite from the studio versions. But it was a really bad draw after Delta. No doubt she'll still be well ahead of Delta on the public vote though.

Amazing. And I'm not biased at all.

That was really lovely and the best Baltic entry for me.

Not a great host entry, it will definitely get lost on Saturday but I think it will just about avoid the fate of their prior host entry in 2015, with a couple of jury points.

Javine meets Mae Muller. Super ropey performance, but a very catchy song should I guess be enough to save it.

Not sure this is strong enough for Switzerland. Good singer and performer but sounds like an album track and not a competitive song. Shame, they may have been the highest quality country of the decade so far up to this point.

Not a fan of France, it feels like a tick boxing exercise to try and do well.

Czechia, France, Poland - there are a few songs this year that are really amazing, very talented singers with songs that just won't stick in my head at all.
