Just 24 hours ago, 15 artists competed in semi-final 1 of Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, Austria.

YouTube views help in looking at which entries left an impression on the general televoting public. It's safe to say a televoter is more likely to vote for songs that they readily seek out after the show!

We've crunched the numbers for the number of YouTube views the performances have amassed 24 hours after being uploaded to the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.

The views were collated 24 hours after the first semi-final 1 performance was uploaded to the channel.

We also included Italy and Germany who weren't competing in the semi, but did perform.

Take a look at the results:
