Delta Goodrem Wins Eurovision Results Press Poll by 96 Points

Delta Goodrem put Australia on top of the eurovision results press poll with Eclipse, finishing 96 points ahead of Finland. The annual vote drew 72 responses from accredited media watching the Grand Final, turning a contest-night reaction into a measurable industry verdict.

72 Media Votes

The press poll uses a points system that rewards five choices from each accredited voter: 12, 10, 8, 6 or 4 points. That format kept the result focused on how the show played to the room, not on fan numbers or hype, and it gave Goodrem a clean win with a wide margin.

Delta Goodrem’s result also gives Australia a sharper benchmark than the 2024 winner, Baby Lasagna, who took the poll for Croatia with Rim Tim Tagi Dim. In 2026, Australia did not just place well; it separated itself from the field by 96 points, which is the kind of spread that signals broad media support rather than a narrow split.

Finland, Greece, Israel

Finland finished second, while Greece landed fifth and Israel placed seventeenth. Those positions matter because they show how the media room ranked the field beyond the winner: Greece stayed in the upper tier, Israel slipped far down the table, and the gap between the front-runners and the lower half was substantial.

The poll is run annually by escxtra, and this year’s 72-response sample makes the result worth reading as an industry snapshot rather than a casual side vote. For Australia, the clean takeaway is simple: Goodrem’s Eclipse was the entry the media room preferred most, and by a margin large enough to stand out from the rest of the Grand Final field.
