163 million people around the globe tuned in to the semi-finals and final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö on 11 May, with votes counted from 156 different countries.

Eurovision was a massive success this year — and not only because of Luxembourg's return after three decades, of course. Viewership was high: 8.1 million people watched in Germany (the highest number in any country), followed by 7.7 million people in Great Britain.

Greece achieved their best audience since 2011, with 2.8 million viewers, more than double last year’s performance.

The contest, produced by Sveriges Television (SVT) and organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), marked an increase of one million viewers compared to the previous year, and 2.2 million viewers since 2022.

A significant highlight of the event was its immense popularity among younger audiences, with the highest youth audience share on record. The hashtag #Eurovision2024 generated 6.5 billion views on TikTok, a significant increase from the previous year. Additionally, nearly 500 million accounts were reached on TikTok, quadrupling the engagement from 2023. The official Eurovision playlist became the most-streamed on Spotify globally on 12 May.

According to Shazam’s Radio Spin data, since the Grand Final, “The Code” by Nemo had the most radio air play globally of all the Eurovision entries, followed by “Mon Amour” by Slimane of France and “La Noia” by Angelina Mango of Italy. “Always on the Run” by ISAAK was the most-Shazamed song during the live Grand Final.

Unlike abroad, there are no exact figures for the Luxembourg market, but the event was widely consumed on RTL-Téle and across the three digital platforms, Today and Infos.
