This Saturday, the grand finale of the 62nd annual Eurovision Song Contest — the longest-running international TV song competition in the world — will be streamed live on YouTube beginning at 3pm ET. Last year’s stream was watched by nearly two million people, according to Eurovision, making it the third largest music live stream in YouTube’s history.
The Eurovision Song Contest, which will air on the Eurovision YouTube channel, consists of musical acts from 42 countries, who will travel this year to Kyiv, Ukraine. Each performer selects a song that’s no longer than three minutes, and must sing live onstage with no live instruments. Following two separate semi-final rounds, winners will be named at the grand final round this Saturday, chosen by jury votes and viewer participation.
Of all past Eurovision winners, Celine Dion — who took home the prize in 1988 — has the most views on YouTube today, followed by ABBA (1974), Turkish pop artist Sertab Erener (2003), Russian singer Dima Bilan (2008), and German singer-songwriter Lena (2010).
The five countries where the stream is most-watched include Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain, and the UK. In addition to the finale broadcast, the Eurovision YouTube channel will also carry contestant introductions, rehearsal footage, backstage content, and more.
