She rode a wave of hype to win Finland’s hyper-competitive national selection Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2025 with her song “ICH KOMME.” And then at Eurovision Erika Vikman placed 11th, a result many fans found just a bit too low.
Well today Erika — Ms. Vikman if you’re nasty — has reminded us that you don’t have to win the contest to win hearts and minds. After counting 22,109 votes, we can now reveal that “ICH KOMME” is the Eurovision 2025 song our readers are listening to the most.
We launched the poll in July and gave our readers six weeks to cast their votes. In the end it was Finland’s Erika Vikman who came out on top — appropriate for a woman who mounted a gigantic microphone that shot sparks as she belted it out in Basel’s St. Jakobshalle.
She earned a total of 2,317 votes — or just over one in every ten votes cast. Finland’s Prime Minister may have turned his back on our girl, but our readers most definitely did not. They respect Erika’s song and her spirit of slaying despite the headwinds. You go girl!
In second place were Sweden’s KAJ, the Swedish-speaking Finns who stole Sweden’s heart at Melodifestivalen (and who won the support of said President Alexander Stubb). They earned 1,596 votes, which was just over 7% of all those cast.
In third place was this year’s winner — Austria’s JJ with the poperatic number “Wasted Love.” He didn’t waste no love on our readers. They gave it right back to him with a very respectable 1,455 votes — or around 6.5% of all those cast.
?? Finland’s President Alexander Stubb says he’s fully behind Sweden’s KAJ winning #Eurovision 2025.
? So how does Finland’s contestant Erika Vikman feel about that?
