Spotify: “Snap” has surpassed Måneskin’s “Zitti e Buoni”, becoming the 2nd most-streamed Eurovision song of all times!

We have already talked about the fascinating story of Rosa Linn’s “Snap”, which despite its mediocre success in ESC, is doing great on the streaming platforms.

As of today, “Snap” is not only the most popular Eurovision 2022 song on Spotify, but has also managed to become the 2nd most streamed Eurovision song, surpassing “Zitti e Buoni” by Måneskin.

“Snap” has managed to muster 358 million streams, a few streams more than the ESC 2021’s winning song, and the former’s run doesn’t seem to be stopping there. The only question that remains, is whether Rosa Linn will be able to break Duncan Laurence’s record and surpass the 849 million streams of “Arcade” and become the most streamed Eurovision song of all time!

Below you can watch the new music video of “Snap”, that was released a few time ago:

Evangelia: The song she proposed in Cyprus for Eurovision 2022 has been released!

As she first revealed to Eurovisionfun and in the interview she gave us, Evangelia released the video clip of the song she had proposed in Cyprus for Eurovision 2022.

The song is called Aphrodite and the references to the island of Aphrodite in Cyprus are clear. It is in the familiar style of Evangelias, with an ethnic and uptempo rhythm.

Evangelia participates with three songs in this year’s ERT selection process as well, although as she told us one of the three is her favorite and the one she believes deserves to be on the stage of the competition.

Enjoy the song:

Do you think Aphrodite would have had better luck than Andromache’s Ela?

Kalush Orchestra received a new trophy by EBU but they don’t know if they will keep it!

Kalush Orchestra received a new trophy for their victory on the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, since the last one was put up for auction and sold for 900.000$ in order to fund the Ukrainian military. The handmade glass microphone trophy is designed by Swedish artist Kjell Engman for Kosta Boda.

Today, the band received a new trophy. The leader of the group Oleg Psyuk says that he doesn’t know how the band will use it to benefit their country. However, they will firstly allow all Ukrainians to take photographs with it during their tour. This means that probably Kalush Orchestra will not keep their trophy again.

Kalush Orchestra won Eurovision 2022 with the song “Stefania”. The band has stated that they will help their country win again the contest, in order to be held in Ukraine this time.
