Eurovision 2023 becomes the most watched Grand Final ever!

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Grand Final scores douze points for the BBC as it becomes the most watched Grand Final ever! The Eurovision 2023 final saw a 5-minute peak of 11 million, an average of 9.9 million, and a share of 63%.

The previous highest was 9.5 million on average back in 2011, when the contest was held in Germany. Last year’s contest in 2022 was watched by 8.9 million, and the highest share on record is 55% for last year’s contest.

Eurovision 2023 becomes the most watched Grand Final ever!

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023, held in the UK this year for the first time since 1998, has made for a long but incredibly entertaining night on BBC One.

Despite the fact that Liverpool was hosting on behalf of Ukraine, which won the competition last year with the Kalush Orchestra, the city still brought all the Britishness, including a musical cameo from the Princess of Wales and even Peppa Pig making an appearance.

After several hours of outstanding performances by 26 acts, including Mae Muller from the UK, hosts Graham Norton and Hannah Waddingham announced the jury and audience results.

After the jury and audience votes were revealed, the top four contestants were Sweden’s Loreen, the 2012 Eurovision winner, Käärijä from Finland, Noa Kirel from Israel, and Marco Mengoni from Italy.

Here is a breakdown of the 2023 Eurovision votes:

  1. Sweden, Loreen – Tattoo – 583
  2. Finland – Käärijä – Cha Cha Cha – 526
  3. Israel, Noa Kirel – Unicorn – 362
  4. Italy – Marco Mengoni – Due Vite – 350
  5. Norway – Alessandra – Queen of Kings – 268
  6. Ukraine – TVORCHI – Heart of Steel – 243
  7. Belgium – Gustaph – Because of You – 182
  8. Estonia, Alika – Bridges – 168
  9. Australia – Voyager – Promise – 151
  10. Czechia – Vesna – My Sister’s Crown – 129
  11. Lithuania, Monika Linkytė – Stay – 127
  12. Cyprus – Andrew Lambrou – Break a Broken Heart – 126
  13. Croatia – Let 3 – Mama ŠČ – 123
  14. Armenia – Brunette – Future Lover – 122
  15. Austria – Teya & Salena – Who The Hell is Edgar? – 120
  16. France – La Zarra – Évidemment – 104
  17. Spain – Blanca Paloma – Eaea – 100
  18. Moldova – Pasha Parfeni – Soarele si Luna – 96

BBC Director of Unscripted Kate Phillips says:

“What an incredible Contest! It was unforgettable, unmissable event television on a scale never seen before delivered by the BBC to viewers across the UK and millions more watching around the world.  Sweden took home the trophy in spectacular style and 2022 winners Ukraine were at the heart of the show.

“Liverpool welcomed the world’s biggest singing competition with open arms and embraced it beyond all of our expectations. The fact that so many millions of people tuned in reflects just how significant Eurovision has become and truly underlines the theme behind this year’s contest, United by Music. We really hope we did Ukraine proud.”
