The illustrious OGAE fan clubs around Europe (and beyond) are busy casting their votes, to see who would win the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest if they were selecting the winner.

Clubs from 28 countries have already cast their votes and now we have three – yes, three – more have now decided who they like. These three fan clubs are from Ukraine, Estonia and Norway. Who did they like? Remember, they can’t vote for themselves.

Taking the 80 members from Ukraine first, their top 10 favourites were:

12 –France

10 –Bulgaria

8 – Australia

7 – Latvia

6 – Croatia

5 – Spain

4 – Azerbaijan

3 – Hungary

2 – Estonia

1 – Russia

Amir from France’s lead jumps by 11 points (which could be crucial) and Samra from Azerbaijan picks up another four points.

Next we turn to Estonia. This is the combined top 10 from 20 members who voted.

12 – France

10 – Sweden

8 – Australia

7 – Russia

6 – Italy

5 – Cyprus

4 – Lithuania

3 – Latvia

2 –Belgium

1 – Bulgaria

France moves a further five points, and we welcome Laura from Belgium to the scoreboard for the first time.

Finally, for now, we see 59 sets of votes from Norway affect things.

12 – France

10 – Russia

8 – Italy

7 – Bulgaria

6 – Australia

5 – Poland

4 – Austria

3 – Latvia

2 –Spain

France takes another two points over Russia, and the five points for Michał from Poland pushes them up the leaderboard slightly.

So how do things look now? Remember, if a country isn’t featured, they don’t yet have any points.
