Google Analysis for ESC 2023: A Surprise Package from Abor & Tynna in Basel?
Potential shocker: could Germany unveil Abor & Tynna?
Insight: While Germany's own ESC entry, Abor & Tynna, might not seem promising according to bookmakers, a sneaky peek at Google search trends may tell a different story.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 final is just around the corner, happening this May 17 in Basel. Representing Germany this year are the Vienna siblings, Attila and Tünde Bornemisza, performing as the music duo Abor & Tynna. They were discovered and selected by Stefan Raab in a marathon pre-selection event aired on ARD and RTL. Raab's ambition is to win ESC again, having successfully accomplished this back in 2010 with Lena Meyer-Landrut and her hit "Satellite."
It remains to be seen how far Abor & Tynna will go with their song "Baller." The odds currently favor other entries, but Google search trends might paint a more optimistic picture.
Europe Loves "Baller"
According to Google's evaluation of the most searched ESC entries this year, "Baller" stands neck-and-neck with the competition. Only Spain's Melody with "Esa diva" stands slightly ahead with a 14% search share, while "Baller" secures the silver medal with a 13% share.
France and Sweden share third place, with Louane ("Maman") and KAJ ("Bara bada bastu") both scoring 12% each. The UK fills the fifth spot with Remember Monday and their tune "What The Hell Just Happened?" which garnered an 11% search share.
Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark also show a strong interest in Abor & Tynna, making them leading contenders in these countries.
Germany Banks on Abor & Tynna
In Germany, there's been particularly high interest in five acts, including "Baller" and other strong contenders such as "Bird of Pray," "Bara bada bastu," "Wasted Love," "Voyage," and "Esa diva."
The Eurovision Song Contest works a bit differently for "The Big Five" countries: Germany, France, Spain, the UK, and Italy, who automatically qualify for the final. The first semi-final takes place on May 13 at 9 PM, while the second will air on May 15 at the same time. Between these two, Stefan Raab will host his own ESC show on RTL and RTL+ from Basel on May 14 at 8:15 PM. The grand final, where the winner of this year's contest will be crowned, takes place on May 17.
So, could Germany's underdog duo Abor & Tynna surprise us all at this year's Eurovision Song Contest? Only time will tell!

Enrichment: Finland's Käärijä (“Cha Cha Cha”) was among the top Eurovision 2023 entries in terms of televoting popularity and likely Google search trends, often reflecting broader online interest and search trends.[4] Other countries with strong contenders include Sweden, Austria, France, and Israel.[5] However, direct search trends data for Germany's Abor & Tynna relative to other 2023 Eurovision entries is not publicly available. This lack of data suggests Germany’s entry with Abor & Tynna may not have had as much online search interest or media coverage as some other countries with more favored or notable acts.
