- A visualisation of every ranking and point scored in the 66th Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final, which took place on Saturday 14th May 2022 in Turin, Italy.
Working through pretty tough hangovers, I’ve visualised these in the best way that I could think to do - taking some inspiration from the @eurovisionario Twitter feed. The results are presented ascending order of total points. It couldn’t have been done without some expert data scraping by my friend, Danielle Kelly. Thank you!
You’ll see that 6 countries’ rankings are missing. During the final broadcast, the EBU released a statement that said that during the second semi-final show on 11 May 2022, six national juries were found to have irregular voting patterns. As a result, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania and San Marino have no detailed ranking information, although I have animated the rankings where they were deemed to have given points (for example, 1 point equals a ranking of 10). The six countries were given substitute aggregated jury results for the second semi-final and the grand final based on countries with similar voting patterns, as determined by the pots that the countries were put into for the semi-final allocation draw in January. Three juries’ results were announced by the Executive Supervisor of the Contest, Martin Österdahl.
The run-up to the Contest was mainly dominated by Ukraine being the runaway favourites. Kalush Orchestra had actually finished second in Vidbir 2022, the Ukrainian selection competition. The winner, Alina Pash was excluded from representing Ukraine because falsified travel records suggested she had travelled to Crimea or Russia, which was against Vidbir rules. Kalush Orchestra took up the mantel of representing Ukraine, having come second in Vidbir and receiving the highest public vote (49.7%, compared to Pash’s 25.1%).
The season had started with Italy and ‘Brividi’ being seen as likely winners by many fans and their Spotify streaming statistics seemed to support the idea. Optimism was high also in the United Kingdom for the first time in many years and internally selected ‘Space Man’ by Essex born Sam Ryder reached second in the odds as the final approached.
A rejuvenated Spanish selection process called ‘Benidorm Fest’ had a controversial ending, with the winner ‘SloMo’ by Chanel receiving only 3.97% of the public vote, 13.8% of the demoscopic jury but got enough from the juries to get to Turin. RTVE acknowledged the disappointment fans felt and pledged to improve Benidorm Fest.
Kalush Orchestra made the Contest having received special dispensation from restrictions on travel following the Russian invasion of the country in February (Russia were banned from Eurovision shortly after).
On the night, remarkably for British fans, the UK topped the jury vote, with another pre-Contest favourite, Sweden coming second. Spain came third and Ukraine 4th. Portugal’s wonderful ‘Saudade, saudade’ provided them with a top 5 finish from the juries. Both Spain and the UK received 8 twelve points.
The televote result was once again the story of the night though. Although it was expected to be large, a lot of pre-Contest discussion focussed on whether the juries would give Ukraine enough for to achieve victory. Ukraine’s televote dropped only 29 points from the maximum possible, accruing 439 points - the highest televote score ever. If the juries had not given Ukraine anything, it would have still finished 3rd, one point above Sweden.
Spain and the UK are celebrating their best result since 1995 and 1998 respectively, with both sets of fans eagerly anticipating continued success - unlike last year’s top performers France and Switzerland who had a dismal night. France finished one from the bottom with 17 points, whilst Switzerland, many of whom didn’t see qualifying for the final received 78 points from the juries, but nothing from the public vote. We know how that feels here in the UK!
Enjoy! - Hudba
And back to blue scoreboards, we go! In all seriousness, you’ve made the data a hell of a lot clearer here, merci beaucoup!
I just noticed something. The televote, while just as lopsided (well maybe slightly worse considering Ukraine's allocation), was even harsher this year compared to last year. The bottom 8 countries all received 10 points or less. Sure 2021 had 4 countries with nul points, but at least it jumped up pretty quickly after the bottom 5 or 6. We were pretty close to having a record 8 countries with nul points in the televote, and that would have pissed A LOT of people off.
At this rate, we're going to have a contest where 10 countries got points at all.
There is a trend really, that the top countries take almost all points and there is little left to give to others. That means there are clear favourites. You either stand out enough to get points or you are left out, there is no middle ground.
@@kiertavasirkus I don't want to see reunited USSR, or European Broadcasting Union will broadcast Emergency Broadcasting System.
That Ukraine public vote though. That will surely never be beaten.
Very well done in terms of the data and animation department. This has made reading the details of the all the results much easier. Great job on this one. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. UK FINALLY GOT A HELLAVA DECENT RESULT!! WOHOOOOOO!!
Here's hoping we keep it up.
On another note, I personally found Spain overrated prior to the contest, but when I saw it on the night, I actually GOT the fan hype. She was amazing!
It is odd about the whole jury votes being changed by the EBU due to "irregularities". But I think with them not giving out much details about this does seem rather sus. Maybe they think we won't understand?
Anyhoot, looking forward to next year now, wherever it'll be held lol
The Belgian broadcaster VRT reported that those 6 countries agreed to vote for each other, not sure how true it is though
yes, all in favour of continued Big 5 success really, especially from the UK of course!
A spectacular breakdown of the results - great job! 🙌
This is a much clearer way of representing the results, thank you!
From ancient eurovision content to enlightenment about the last one! Great job!
thanks for doing this - great visualisation of the split results.
btw, we're gasping for 1977 here - to help with our withdrawal symptoms.
Yes I've taken a much needed detour from the historical boards. I haven't forgotten them, it just might be a bit of a wait for the next one. Apologies!
I'm happy at least Malik were more appreciated in the televote (than Switzerland, Australia, and Belgium) and that he never was in a country's last place there. In Austria and Australian juries, it was so close
This is such a gem! Fantastic design! Thank you so much!
0 to 439 televote
you are so talented
The Netherlands being most of the time 12th with the televotes hurts.... Like she was always so close to get points, I'm pretty sure with a better running ordre she would have got more points
Great job. Thx
Love this! I’d rather watch this than the interminable reveal of the televoting. If you fancy another project once you’ve finished 1979, maybe upload the contests with the televoting, but taking out all the longeurs… 😉
If the BBC were to host, would you submit a scoreboard concept?
👀 ⬆️
I hope he says yes
I hope he does!
Ha ha, I'd hope to send a few emails and get on the team!
this would work fantastically for the televote reveal i think! may be worth doing a couple of tests using the order they revealed in, also to see if you can still make space for hosts/reaction shots
There is some funny trivia coming out of it.
Like how Spain was voted from every country in televoting except Italy. I know Italy's voting is always, always so random but for some reason they are the only ones not liking Chanel.
At the same time all the televoters from South Europe voted for Italy, but almost all the countries of the North (outside Germany) didn't vote for them. Seems like the Italian sound is really popular in the south, but the North Europeans don't feel anything over it. On the other side all the countries voted for the UK in the televoting, except the 5 ex-yugoslav countries which i find so random and funny.
Moldova was so close for a perfect televote score. The only televoting countries who didn't vote for them gave Moldova their 11th place.
We confirm… Eurovision Compasion Contest… si bad for the festival!
So cool
14:27 the moment you're all here for:
Oooh he's back! Great to see this superb visualisation of the details (even powering through hangovers!) to make this happen. Hearing all the bells as the 12s roll in was so satisfying, jackpot even! As always, great write up as well which I always enjoy, adding plenty of context for future watchers.
And yet, as I'm sure it was for you on Saturday, seeing Sam just slip into second was oh so bittersweet!
(Liking the nod to 1998 with the gradual fade in from top to bottom - a fairly standard animation but just works so well!)
Is this another conjuring up via Viz?
Yes it's on Viz - I haven't tinkered with the reordering animation for a while! This project was also mainly about speed too, thus the slightly simple design. Thanks for the comments though, I had fun playing with the sound!
More videos like this one!
I will wait next countries in this format with graphics of the particular year
This is a great way to show the results! It solves the problem of the announcers taking too much time announcing the 12 points. (I'm looking at you Carola!) And it would allow songs to be longer than 3 minutes. Although, the points would have to be presented either in random order or in the order they were presented because it would be kind of obvious if they did it how you did it. I would submit it to the BBC should they be the ones to host. My only questions is how are they going to cram the contestants and see their humiliated faces when they just hear a buzzer when they get nul points?
I'm so happy for the UK & Spain do so well this year! The UK was my personal winner and I was so happy to see him win the Jury vote!
Honestly, I would totally support your submission of this concept to the BBC and the EBU!
Yes I didn't really post this as a viable alternative to the actual scoreboard - more a full data dump and visualisation. This could be a nice companion to the televised results though via social media I guess - a lot of the casual audience wouldn't understand what was going on in this concept I don't think.
And yea I agree about Sam - I think he would have been a fantastic winner!
Songs will never be longer than 3 minutes. This is a rule dating back to around 1960, when there was like 15-17 countries.
Это лучшее голосование, которое только можно было придумать!!!
I loooove this, if you’re up to it you should do this for the 2000’s like 2016 and stuff
This video is perfection in literally every way possible from the sound effects to the layout
Beautiful! Are you going to do the semis too?
Hey, thereorderboard : Eurovision, I like your Eurovision Song Contest 2022 scoreboard!!!
this is very well done, if it's not a problem, can you release the same from 2016 to 2023 and also 1 and 2 semi-finals?
I'm well aware that this isnt the most popular opinion but thank god for the jury votes, they add an important layer of competative intergrity to what has a habbit of becoming a bit of a kangaroo court.
Both jury votes and televoting is important but jury needs to be restructured.
heads up to those who haven’t sen Ukrainian televote yet - I suggest turning down the volume the little bit, all that dingling made me deaf for a while haha
anyway, marvelous work! are you up to doing the same with 2021 and earlier years?
The country where Switzerland got the closest to get televote points was Norway (13th).
Well done. Dalmatia, as part of Croatia, woted this way: 12+12 to Ukraine, and 10+10 to Serbia. And that's it!
you should do the 2022 the way you did the 2023
Italy boycotts Spain, UNPRESENTABLES
this is better than asmr
The animation is great but I don’t understand what the original faded numbers for each country represent?
So every country ranks every song 1 to 25, the top ten gets points...so if their ranking is higher than 10 it gets converted to points...10th place = 1 point, 9th place = 2 points etc.
can you do the same thing for 2021
May I ask what software you used to make this reordering Amazing job.
pls made part 3 televote results
You know it was a weird year when Cyprus did not give 12 points from the televote to greece
What program you use tutorial
british pain is over...we returned to second place that year
i'm curious as to why you removed the televote for the 6 countries? if i remember correctly only the jury votes were dismissed
The details of the full televote rankings haven't been published on the website. I've included the points by each, which is the only information available.
Who program please tutorial
What is the music?
I have no idea how to read this.
I am struggling too 🤔
I think you have made a mistake.
In jury voting Greece came 6th and Italy 7th.
Both of them had 158 points, but Greece got 6 times 12 points from juries and Italy 1 or 2 times 12 points from juries. So, Greece is 6th.
Yes thanks for pointing it out. I applied the correct code to order results in the overall table, but forgot to apply it to specifically reorder the jury and televote points with a separate criteria (for tie breaks). The challenge of adding something in late! So they are mistakenly reordered by the televote criteria in that table (with the criteria being: how many countries voted for the song, then the count back of 12, 10, 8 etc.) - that's why Italy appears above Greece - Italy didn't get any 12's in the televote, but many more countries voted for them (only 9 countries gave points to Greece in the televote, but they did get one 12).
@@thereorderboard I know that there is a tendency of underrating Greece or other countries in ESC and overrating Italy or some other countries. I know there is a tendecy like that in every field. But sometimes it is ethical and honest to respect everyone equally.
Do not change that. It was not an order from my side. It was just an honest observation. I just observed that and took a minute to say so.
Not a problem for me although I am Greek. Classification in eurovision is not of importance as it is a political game, but sometimes just to keep the types 😉😉Greetings!
@@user-gb3cz7wn8y Just to be clear, this was a bug in the code - it would have happened to any country that had equal points on the jury board...it was not a case of a deliberate under ranking of one country over another, it just happened to be Greece and Italy this time.
@@thereorderboard Hey! Which app did you use to make this scoreboard?
Why the televoting in certain countries is n/a. I understand when this happened with the jury but televoting? Is it because there are not enough voters?
No. It has to be a mistake. Televoting was fair and square in these countries. I am from Poland and televoting is important here.
Nobody:
Ukraine:

Congratulations to the UK on a spectacular performance in Turin! If we were living in normal times, where the public had voted for the music instead of the politics, Sam Ryder would surely have claimed victory number 6 for the UK...
Could we have the real ones, not the ones EBU changed?
The cheating ones are not the real ones. Not valid.
@@kiertavasirkus I just asked because could be interesting to know the difference between the final version and the original ones. And about cheating, we could also say about stolen ones. Life always have 2 versions and you can face both or just the one you like. I would love to know how my country would finish without the scores EBU changed.
@@LOCOBOOMBOX
the votes were not stolen; there is literally evidence that 6 countries were cheating in the semi 2. They put each other in the top. The countries are to blame with playing stupid games, not EBU.
@@kiertavasirkus if you say so. But still would be great to see the real results.
España la n 1!!GANADORA TOTAL
At least germany had a little slither of dignity
i wont ever watch eurovision again in my life politics ruined it
Spain is the true winner
no it's not
@@kiertavasirkus yes it is
@@miguelangelcaballeroaranda9450 nah it was Latvia they should have won by far
