Turin, May 10th 2022 – According to the number of streams on Spotify, Italy is the favourite to win the Eurovision Song Contest this week. With 80 million streams, the song Brividi by Mahmood & Blanco has been listened to the most out of all the Song Contest entries of this year. A striking difference compared to the 17 million streams of the number two, Sweden. This is evident from a research that online marketing agency Seeders conducted recently.
Mahmood enters the Eurovision Song Contest for the second time. In 2019 he was runner-up to Duncan Laurence, the winner of that year. Although he did not win, his song Soldi became a great hit in Italy and other countries. If Mahmood & Blanco were to win the Eurovision Song Contest this year, it would mean Italy’s second win in a row after winning the Contest in 2021. This would be a rare phenomenon in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest. Ireland is the exception in this; the country won three times in a row between 1992 and 1994.
