Ahead of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, MyBettingSites’ supercomputer analysed 70 years worth of data to find out who might become this year’s winner based on historical stats.

Typical winner according to history

According to the analysis of 70 past winners and their characteristics since 1956, the typical winner of Eurovision is a woman (58.5%), solo performer (72.5%), singing a pop song (45.7%), in English (49%) about love & relationships (62.1%), and is between 25-27 years old (the average age of the past winners is 26.9 and median is 25). Lastly, 17.2% of the past winners won with a song starting with the letters “D” or “T”.

Malta’s Sarah Bonnici (“Loop”) has the most traits (6) which are typical for a Eurovision winner: she is a 25 year old female solo performer who sings a pop song about love, romance & relationships in English.

Georgia (Nutsa Buzaladze, “Firefighter”), Denmark (Saba, “Sand”) & United Kingdom (Olly Alexander, “Dizzy”) all have the second most traits (5) typical for a Eurovision winner.

Countries with the most wins

Ireland and Sweden have won the most Eurovision Song Contest trophies, with 7 wins each. Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, and the United Kingdom tie for second place with 5 wins each.

Methodology:

  • Historical data was collected from Eurovision’s official website and its Wikipedia pages
  • Artists’ data was collected from artists’ official accounts on Instagram, TikTok, and Spotify
  • In case of duos with separate social media accounts, their followers were combined
  • In case of multiple versions of a song on Spotify, the most popular version was taken into account
  • On YouTube, the Official Music Videos on Eurovision’s YouTube channel were taken into account with the only exception being acts with no official music video - in that case, the most popular version of a video of a given song on Eurovision’s YouTube channel was counted
