Decoding 70 years of Eurovision"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A study covering nearly seven decades of Eurovision entries explores the unpredictability of the world\u2019s largest and most-watched music competition<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It all started in 1956 as a bold experiment in TV broadcasting. As the Eurovision Song Contest(opens in new window) turns 70 this year, it has become a major extravaganza that brings together talented, eccentric artists from dozens of countries in Europe and beyond to battle for the annual musical crown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Critics mock Eurovision because of its kitsch culture and histrionics. But this massive TV spectacle that draws around 160 million viewers worldwide has put the careers of mega artists such as ABBA and Celine Dion on the map. It pushes boundaries, and it has a huge impact on LGBTQ+ culture. It\u2019s known as much for its outlandish outfits and over-the-top performances as for its geopolitical tensions, controversies and boycotts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Love it or hate it, the biggest live music event\u2019s widespread influence is undeniable. A research team from Switzerland and the United States examined how participating countries and organisers have mutually learned from each other over the decades, and how this shared knowledge has manifested in the competition itself. The findings were published in the journal \u2018Royal Society Open Science\u2019(opens in new window).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The winning formula<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The researchers analysed entries from 1956 to 2024, covering over 1 700 songs from 51 countries. They used audio data from Spotify to assess traits such as danceability and acousticness, as well as AI to categorise musical genres and to detect the emotional themes in each song\u2019s lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Study results showed that singing in English, choosing the pop genre, taking full advantage of danceability and using more lyrics were the ticket to success. Countries learned these lessons over decades by observing winning and losing entries. They then adapted their entries accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, when this formula for success gained widespread use, it no longer ensured victory and merely became the minimum needed to remain competitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat was once a competitive edge is now the standard,\u201d commented Arthur Capozzi, postdoctoral researcher at ETH Z\u00fcrich, in a news item(opens in new window). \u201cEnglish-language pop songs with a danceable beat become a basic requirement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Expect the unexpected<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spain, France, Italy and Portugal seem to have deliberately resisted the English-language advantage, likely valuing cultural identity and language promotion over victory. The paper authors contend that this aligns with prioritising national culture and native language over sheer competitiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThey\u2019re outliers, in that they keep on singing in their own language, even though that\u2019s not one of the established success factors,\u201d added Capozzi. The reason for this is that these countries are strategically using their cultural identity to distinguish themselves from the pack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organisers are adapting and learning over the years, too. \u201cThere\u2019s no one formula for success that will always work, neither for the participating nations nor for the organisers,\u201d stated Dirk Helbing, professor of computational social science at ETH Z\u00fcrich. That\u2019s why Eurovision is implementing targeted changes to sustain strong interest in the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter, Eurovision continues to evolve. \u201cIt has to \u2013 in order to stay interesting,\u201d he concluded. And it\u2019s likely to change suddenly and without reason, with a few surprises along the way. \u201cWe haven\u2019t found a formula that guarantees success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study covering nearly seven decades of Eurovision entries explores the unpredictability of the world\u2019s largest and most-watched music competition It all started in 1956 as a bold experiment in TV broadcasting.
