Currently number 4 in UK iTunes chart. I think this is going to be the real winner following the contest

I've looked at the scores in more detail, and have noticed that the jury played a big role in deciding between Austria and The Netherlands. Whilst the jury kept Austria consistently high, there was a lot of fluctuation with the Netherlands. They still had a good average overall but it messed up the final points. For example, take the UK's votes.
The jury score for Austria ranged between 1st - 9th place, giving a final average ranking of #3. The Netherlands, ranged between 1st to 20th, giving a final average ranking of #7. Even though the Netherlands had a higher televoting score from the UK public, Austria still ended up with the 12 (NL with 8). It seemed that whilst the Netherlands had a brilliant song, it did still divided a lot of the jury members. I wished the juries were more unified, but with the quality of this song and the trends of Eurovision, it's understandable why people were still divided.

This should have won... I voted for it... Eastern Europe simply ignored it...

This week's UK chart hasat #95. I think that's the first time in a long time (ever?) that a song from another country has entered our charts pre-contest
Only Teardrops got #99 last year

Our highest rate from the Maltese jury was #17 or #18, one of them thought we were the worst of all, rating us #25 :shock:
But it would not have made a difference:

I think the last song to enter the UK charts from another country that didn't win was Mouth & MacNeal with "I see a star" although i could be wrong. The was also a Dutch entry.
By the way it wasn't pre-contest. I've heard that sales were only from 11 pm yesterday and the chart was announced at 4 pm today

You don't have to have the most commercial song to do the best at Eurovision
