Eurovision 2024: The call for a boycott of Eurovision 2024 has failed!

With the official viewing figures, as well as the impact of this year’s contest on the internet and on social media having been made public, one thing is clear, the various calls for a boycott of Eurovision 2024 have fallen on deaf ears, since it seems that the 68th Eurovision Song Contest Eurovision gathered the highest percentage of television viewing in Europe since 2006!

The viewership for all public broadcasters, recorded at Eurovision 2024, was 46.7%, while for under-24s it was over 50%. In Iceland, which has been discussed so much, it was made public by the publication of letters to abstain from this year’s competition, signed by thousands of citizens and artists of the country, the TV viewing recorded for another year outrageous numbers, despite the fact that the country was excluded from the final. In total, Eurovision 2024 was watched by 163 million people, one million more than last year’s contest.

The voting for Rest Of The World included votes from 156 countries, 12 more than last year, while 1.6 million users watched the competition live on YouTube, 18% more than last year!

If you include in all this the fact that Israel took second place in the televoting, winning the most 12 votes (15 in total), in the countries with the largest population (UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Netherlands) , then realizes that those who supported the boycott of the competition were simply a noisy minority and not the majority of the television audience, who clearly had a different opinion.
