Biggest Eurovision Facebook stars revealed

19 July 2010 at 18:14 CEST

There have been many artists who have taken the responsibility to represent their country at the Eurovision Song Contest. Many stars have risen from the contest and have got some more wind in their wings. 

All of this can also be seen on Facebook, where fans all over the world support their favourite Eurovision Song Contest artists. Who do you think has the most fans? Who is the Facebook ruler of the Eurovision Song Contest participants?

And the winners are...

It's the 1988 contest winner, Celine Dion with over 1,1 million fans! She's followed by the Turkish representative in the 2010 edition, maNga with nearly 800,000 fans. The third place is reserved by the legendary 1974 winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, ABBA, with almost 400,000 fans in their biggest community. 

They're closely followed by this year's winner, Lena, by the way! Will Lena rise even higher as she will represent Germany again next year on home soil? As she's been the fastest rising star in the chart, it's highly possible.

We do remind you that the amount of fans on Facebook for these communities is approximate and can change every second. So changes in the top 25 might occur, especially, if you help them to increase their fan base by joining the communities. The list is based on the stars' biggest community on Facebook, if they do not have an official community, not on a combined result.
