A visualisation of every ranking and point scored in the second Semi-Final of the 66th Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on Thursday 12th May 2022 in Turin, Italy.
Ahead of the Contest this semi-final was considered quite open by lots of fans, the only really safe qualifier being Sweden. Sweden dominated the jury score in impressive fashion, dropping only 18 points from the maximum. Israel, Poland and Romania’s public voting agreed with their juries giving the Swede’s three not-that-common 24 point totals.
The televote gave an interesting result in the whole though, with Sweden and Serbia tying for first place, both with 174 points…although let’s remember ties don’t really exist in Eurovision anymore and Sweden is deemed to have won the basis that more countries voted for ‘Hold Me Closer’. This metric was added as a gesture to weaken any potential regional blocs but there’s no evidence for that in ’In corpore sano’s case - 12 points from Australia and from neighbouring Macedonia to name two!
Azerbaijan qualified for the final without receiving any public voting points, ‘Fade to Black’s jury score high enough to see it through - knocking North Macedonia’s entry into unlucky 11th, but with a neat 20 point difference.
Once again there’s a tie for points in the final tally, with Ireland getting 15th place over Malta in 16th on account Ireland’s higher televote score (35 to 20).
For full transparency, there is a tiny mistake in the televote rankings at the end. Malta is shown in 16th position in the televote table, however more countries voted for it in televote (9 to 3) and it should be shown in 15th place, with North Macedonia below it. This is due to me not applying all the tie-break rules to these broken down tables…I will do better!
