        It is/was certainly big here in Norway. I don’t know how big it is these days however. Me and my friends used to have MGP parties where we printed out forms and rated the performances on multiple criterias and such. Was a lot of fun

          For Norway, NRK started releasing viewership numbers since 2018. So not that many years, 2022 was the best year so far with 1.22 millioner concurrent viewers on NRK. Then 2023 saw a decline and 2024 saw a decline and became the weakest year in the tracking with 861.000 concurrent viewers. So still quite a lot of people though it’s a 30% decline.

          Would assume this year is also weak, as I haven’t seen to much hype about the Norwegian song, nor much Eurovision hype in general tbh. Would guess 800-850 thousand Norwegian viewers.
