TV reach of the Eurovision Song Contest in Europe 2024, by country

Data from 2024 showed that the United Kingdom, Germany, and France were some of the countries with the highest numbers of TV viewers of the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC). An estimated 210,000 viewers tuned in from Australia, which is one of the few countries outside of Europe that currently participate in the competition. Eurovision Song ContestThe Eurovision Song Contest, formerly known as the Eurovision Grand Prix, is an international song competition that has been held annually since 1956. While only a handful of countries participated at first, the list of frequent contenders has grown ever since. As of 2024, Germany has had the most participations in the Eurovision Song Contest, followed by France, the UK, and Belgium. And while Ireland only made its debut on the European singing stage in 1965, it remains the country with the most Eurovision wins to date, along with Sweden. The rise and fall of televised music showsThe Eurovision is one of many televised music events that has seen viewer counts plummet over the past few years. Audiences no longer seem to be interested in sitting through hours of speeches and commercial breaks, and for those who are generally interested in the coverage, the internet provides a much more flexible solution. The downward trend in viewership is particularly noticeable across music award shows such as the Grammys. While the 54th edition of the awards, held in 2012, was watched by around 39 million people across the United States, the number of Grammy viewers has since dropped to a fraction of its former size. An estimated 16.9 million people watched the ceremony in 2024, the fourth-lowest number in the history of the telecast.

2024年的数据显示，英国、德国和法国是观看欧洲电视歌唱大赛（ESC）观众数量最高的国家之一。估计约有21万观众从澳大利亚观看，该国是目前参与竞赛的少数欧洲以外的国家之一。欧洲电视歌唱大赛（Eurovision Song Contest），原名欧洲歌唱大赛（Eurovision Grand Prix），是一项自1956年以来每年举行的国际歌唱竞赛。虽然最初只有少数国家参与，但自那时起，经常参赛的国家名单一直在扩大。截至2024年，德国在欧洲电视歌唱大赛中的参赛次数最多，其次是法国、英国和比利时。尽管爱尔兰仅在1965年首次在欧洲歌唱舞台上亮相，但它仍然是迄今为止赢得欧洲电视歌唱大赛次数最多的国家，与瑞典并列。电视音乐节目的兴衰欧洲电视歌唱大赛是众多电视音乐活动中之一，近年来观众数量急剧下降。观众似乎不再愿意耐心观看数小时的演讲和商业广告，而对于那些对赛事报道感兴趣的观众来说，互联网提供了一个更加灵活的解决方案。观众数量的下降趋势在如格莱美奖等音乐颁奖典礼上尤为明显。虽然2012年举办的第54届颁奖典礼在美国吸引了大约3900万人观看，但格莱美奖的观众数量自那以后已降至昔日规模的极小部分。据估计，2024年的颁奖典礼约有1690万人观看，成为电视直播历史上第四低的观众数。
