There are many ways to try to predict the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest. One of them is to try to keep track of how well the entries are doing in different channels such as Spotify, YouTube and iTunes.
In the top 5 rankings below no less than twelve different entries show up, making it hard to make any sense of a potential outcome of this year’s contest. But, drawing from the experience from last year when I predicted Netta as the winner – based on her entry being the only one showing up on all five lists – I’m inclined to predict The Netherlands’ Duncan Laurence as the winner of tonight’s Grand Final.
Just after midnight, we’ll know if I’m right. Who’s with me?
