Spotify: Snap has surpassed Alexander Rybak’s Fairytale, becoming the 3rd 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 3rd most streamed song of ESC, surpassing Alexander Rybak’s Fairytale. 

Snap has managed to muster 218 million streams, a few streams more than the ESC 2009’s winning song, and the former’s run doesn’t seem to be stopping there. The table below illustrates the dynamics of the song, which is now in the 18th position of the Global Spotify Chart, being on said Chart for more than 87 days.

How far do you think Rosa Linn’s Snap can go? Will it manage to become the most-streamed Eurovision song of all times? 

Spotify: Snap surpassed Måns Zelmerlöw’s Heroes, continuing its wild run!

We have already reported the fascinating story of Rosa Linn’s Snap, which despite its mediocre success in ESC, is doing great on the streaming platforms. For two days now, Snap is not only the most popular Eurovision 2022 song on Spotify, but has also managed to become the 7th most streamed song of the Contest, surpassing Måns Zelmerlöw’s Heroes.

Today, Snap has managed to muster 147 million streams, 4,5 million more than the ESC 2015’s winning song, and the former’s run doesn’t seem to be stopping there. The table below illustrates the dynamics of the song, which is now in the 18th position of the Global Spotify Chart, being on said Chart for more than 60 days.

Therefore, and despite the admittedly small loss of momentum on the platform (38,607 less streams compared to the previous week), it is almost certain that the Armenia’s song in ESC 2022, is threatening more popular Eurovision songs on Spotify.

And while the two most popular Eurovision songs (Arcade and Zitti e buoni) are considered a rather unattainable goal, the same cannot be said for Soldi, which has 207 million streams, 60 million more than Snap. By rough calculations, and provided that Rosa Linn’s song won’t lose much of its momentum, Snap is likely to surpass Soldi and become the 3rd most popular Eurovision song within the next two months.

Billboard Hot 100

Two weeks ago Snap managed to be placed in the 97th position on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming only the second Eurovision song in the 21st century (after Arcade) to do so. Unfortunately for Rosa Linn, her song’s run on the Hot 100 didn’t last for more than a week. The entrance into Hot 100, as well as its ranking, is dependent on the number of streams through streaming platforms, sales, and airplay in the US.

Worldwide iTunes Song Chart

Despite maintaining momentum on Spotify, Snap appears to be losing ground on iTunes. And while a week ago the song had reached the 7th position on the Worldwide iTunes Song Charts, today it’s ranked 13th, having a slightly downward trend.

The dynamics of TikTok

Snap’s success seems to be related to the even greater singer’s success on TikTok. Prior to the Competition, Rosa Linn had, on her personal TikTok account, 5k followers and 85k likes. Today, her followers amount to 555k and her likes to 9.5 million!

It is not the first time that TikTok has been used as a springboard by Eurovision artists. The most typical example, perhaps, is Duncan Laurence’s “Arcade”, the winning song of ESC 2019, which, after its delayed success on TikTok, has today exceeded 900 mil. streams, becoming the most successful Eurovision song on Spotify.

Thus, despite the (justified) reactions expressed this year by fans, journalists and correspondents of the ESC, the strategic partnership between the EBU and TikTok (with the latter taking on the role of “Official Entertainment Partner” for Eurovision 2022) does not appear to be an one-off collaboration.

How far do you think Rosa Linn’s Snap can go? Will it manage to overtake Soldi on Spotify or will it run out of gas somewhere along the way?

Armenia: Rosa Linn’s Snap on the Billboard’s Hot 100!

She may not have managed to send Eurovision to Yerevan, but there has been one success after another for 22-year-old Rosa Linn and her song “Snap”. Just days after passing “Brividi” in total streams, it has now entered the US Billboard Hot 100 charts at No. 97!

Billboard announces its weekly Hot 100 chart every Monday. With Snap making an appearance at number 97, it is the second time in the 21st century that a Eurovision song has made it onto this chart. The positions in which songs are ranked are based on listenership via digital music services, sales, and radio in the US.

With the arrival of Rosa Linn, the number of songs that have entered the US Billboard’s Hot 100 is 12. These songs are as follows:

  1. Domenico Modugno – “Nel blu dipinto di blu (Volare)” (Italy, 1958) – 1st place
  2. ABBA – “Waterloo” (Sweden, 1974) – 6th place
  3. Mocedades – “Eres tú” (Spain, 1973) – 9th place
  4. Gina G – “Ooh Aah… Just a Little Bit” (United Kingdom, 1996) – 12th place
  5. Brotherhood of Man – “Save Your Kisses for Me” (United Kingdom, 1976) – 27th place
  6. Duncan Laurence – “Arcade” (Netherlands, 2021) – 30th place
  7. The New Seekers – “Beg, Steal or Borrow” (United Kingdom, 1972), 81st place
  8. Ronnie Carroll – “Say Wonderful Things” (United Kingdom, 1963), 91st place
  9. Mary Hopkin – “Knock, Knock Who’s There?” (United Kingdom, 1970), 92nd place
  10. Domenico Modugno – ‘Piove (Ciao, ciao, ciao banbina)’ (Italy, 1959) – 97th place
  11. Rosa Linn “Snap” (Armenia, 2022) – 97th place
  12. Cliff Richard – “Congratulations” (United Kingdom, 1968) – 99th place
