Among those celebrated is 2023 winner Loreen from Sweden, who delighted European audiences with ‘Tattoo’, a success story that will soon be communicated to New Yorkers with a Times Square billboard scheduled to go live later in the week.

Leroy Harris, head of marketing at Spotify UK and Ireland, said: “Eurovision is an iconic event in the musical calendar and we’re proud to support its success and all the artists who take part. Spotify users can access unique insights and trends in the build-up to and during the contest, and we join them in celebrating the artists who get to enjoy this huge moment”.

In addition to its streetside marketing, Spotify has been digging deep into its streaming data to present listeners with interesting Eurovision facts, such as 'Snap' by Armenia's Rosa Linn in 2022 being the most streamed song not to win.
