The Finland-Swedish humor group Kaj's winning song "Bara bada bastu" became the most streamed Melodifestival winner on Spotify in one day, the day after Melodifestivalen. With 800,000 streams, Kaj broke Loréen's and Benjamin Ingrosso's previous winning songs' records, according to Spotify.

The sauna song did well internationally the same day as well. With 1.3 million global streams, the song qualified among the 150 most popular worldwide, which Emma Vikström, music responsible at Spotify in the Nordic countries, describes as "sensational".
