More than 8 million views for Chikilicuatre
Spain wins YouTube battle overwhelmingly
In second place, but very far away from Spain, comes Turkey. Mor Ve Ötesi's Deli reaches 1,300,000 views. Very close to them is Dustin the Turkey, the Irish representative, with 1.2 million hits.
Official site eurovision.tv stresses on the advantage that the songs chosen earlier enjoy over those elected later. This rule does not apply to the Spanish entry, one of the last to be chosen, on March 8th. Rodolfo Chikilicuatre, with 8.4 million video views, has overwhelmingly won the YouTube battle.
This is the top 10 published by eurovision.tv based on the YouTube video views:
- Spain - Rodolfo Chikilicuatre - Baila El Chiki Chiki
8,400,000 views - Turkey - Mor ve Ötesi - Deli
1,300,000 views - Ireland - Dustin the Turkey - Irelande Douze Pointe
1,200,000 views - Greece - Kalomira - Secret Combination
1,100,000 views - Sweden - Charlotte Perrelli - Hero

I find Greece's, Sweden's, and Germany's viewing figures the most impressive. =]
youtube is forbidden in Armenia...soo..... 
So ??...
who cares??!!...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Romanian song has more views than the Serbian song, thus making it 10th, if the list is right...
@melina
turkey maybe wont pass the sem?? hahahahahahahaha. thank god the song doesnt need any diaspora votes this time.. great april fool's joke indeed..
For Rita Belindarian : There are multiple videoes repeated with the video of the " chiki chiki" , the sum of all of them they do not 8,4 millions....I have added the most important and they were overcoming 10 millions 
I believe that it is the video of Eurovision most dress in Eurovision and still they stay two months for the contest ....
Not impressed at all- that means nothing!
@ J K, maybe, but the same holds true for all the other entries in the list as well (For example most comments in the Turkish entry's clips (that I've seen) have been in Turkish...)
@ A Night of Musical Comedy, yes, we will see in May 
Of course, you can never know what happens, but I'm 95% sure neither of those will be the winner... They don't have that "instant appeal" that an entry needs in the televoting era (even though I like them a lot, as I said). But we'll see...
That doesn't mean it's a good song..We watch something just because it's ridiculous as well, galantis
YEY SWEDEN AT NR 5TH
yes turkey and sebia more original than the other every year you can see same songs but always them failed for example
2003 belgium-2.
2003 turkey-1.
2004 ukraine-1.
2005 greece-1.
2006-finland-1.
2007.ukraine-2.
2008.turkey-1.
2008 serbia-2.
we all must be sure that TÜRKÄ°YE will be in the final.that's almost accurate.so we shall discuss wheter it could win or not
I was looking on Youtube the spanish video of Chicki Chiki. There are about 400 results. But there is only one video with 2,3 mln views. I didn't find anything with 8,4 mln views. Someone knows where is the video with 8 mln views?
I was told that clips of Finland's entry actually have about 500 000 views altogether, so should be in that list, obviously...!
@ A Night of Musical Comedy, "victory is between Turkey and Serbia"? That's the best April fools joke I've heard yet
(Not that they aren't good, but winners? No... And don't forget Turkey has to make it to the final first, and that may prove hard without the usual diaspora voters in semi 2...)
RODOLFO IS THE BEST!!!
LONG LIFE TO CHIKILICUATRE!!!!
GO CHIKI CHIKI!!

@ Khalid, I like Cyprus too, but there's no denying that it's not among the favourites this year
Haha, Spain is probably in the top because of Perez Hilton's link to the video at his world famous celebrity blog.
Well said Melina (although I like Cyrpus a lot)
Well, what really seems like an April Fools joke is that Poland, Germany and Cyprus would be among the top 10 views...
(Come on people, they are among the least discussed entries in ESc forums etc...!)
Cam on be more serious ppl, this doesn't prove anything... Spain in the 1st, Sweden in the 5th and Russia only in 8th.... HAHAHAHA and OMG where is Ukraine and Switzerland.... HAHAHA
Ridiculous !!!
I don't think it's an April Fool joke, I read the news in other websites too.
I hate the chicki chicki but I'd prefer to se Spain winning instead of RussiaSerbiaUkraineGreeceArmen ia
