Changes?
Switzerland is a clear winner of the past two weeks. Luca managed to not just place into the Top 5 (#04) but also jump three spots up in the past two weeks. Three spots up making him the biggest winner together with Azerbaijan (#11), United Kingdom (#14) & Australia (#19). They all managed to get three spots up in the ranking. Moreover, Azerbaijan is also close to entering the Top 10 now.
The artist who lost the most spots in the past two weeks (4 in total) was Portugal, who is now on No. 23. At the very end of the list, we have Oto escaping the last place and changed spots with Montenegro’s D-Mol.
Could these changes show a prediction for the semi-finals? We’ll check at the changes again before the final on Saturday and see, who managed to get the most streams in these four days.
