25,116,785 streams
Incredibly catchy and fun, this got the crowds going in Malmo, so it’s no wonder that many added this one straight to their playlists.

Top 5
5. Baby Lasagna – Rim Tim Tagi Dim – Croatia
35,924,581 streams
A fan favourite and real head-banger, it is no surprise that Baby Lasagna has comfortably secured a spot in the Top 10. Endlessly fun to rock out to.

Our winner! Nemo’s ability to blend so many genres into a cohesive package needs to be studied. It’s also a great one for the shower sing-along.
3. Slimane – Mon Amour – France

Slimane has done a national service to put Eurovision back on the radar for France. His previously established prestige as an artist meant that a hit was certain.

Bolstered by its huge success in its native Italy, the Italian entry is a permanent resident of this Top 10 and no one is arguing.
Winner
1. Joost Klein – Europapa – Netherlands

Joost has won in many ways other than the competition itself. The only song to crack 100,000,000 streams (so far) and has achieved this milestone in an impressively short timeframe. The future is bright for this Dutchie.
