Nineteen Eurovision tracks hit the UK iTunes top 200

UK buyers have been snapping up Eurovision tracks on iTunes throughout Eurovision's 59th anniversary day (Sunday 24 May). And not just the songs that were competing! Just over 24 hours after Eurovision finished, these are the tracks which are still hanging on in the UK’s iTunes top 200.

With streaming now included in the UK chart, it’s very hard to say now how much impact Måns Zelmerlöw will be able to have in the Official Singles Chart next Sunday. It seems unlikely he will match Loreen’s #3 hit of three years ago. It also seems unlikely that any of the others will make the top 40, except perhaps Belgium.

All of the top 11 in Saturday’s final are currently in the top 200. The most successful song which isn’t is Azerbaijan’s, which finished in a surprisingly low 12th place.

Whatever happens to Electro Velvet as the week goes on, they seem to be selling on a par with Molly last year and much, much better than Bonnie Tyler or Engelbert did.
