Wayah opened at 30% and never dipped below 32% again across 454 days — a lock this complete, in a 7-way field, is the real story. Its 32.5% final share beat second-place Leily Nhary's 17.1% by nearly double, and every one of the other six songs spent the entire run fighting for a distant second.
The gender split explains the gap: Wayah pulled 308 male voters to just 83 female, a wider men-lean than any rival, while Egypt (166 votes) and the US (99) both broke its way. Notably, all seven finalists drew almost no fan votes — this was a stranger's landslide, not a fanbase mobilization.
- Never below 32% · Wayah's share held in a 32-37% band for all 454 days
- Nearly 2x the runner-up · 1,558 votes to Leily Nhary's 819 — nothing close
- Men outvoted women 4-to-1 · Wayah drew 308 male votes against just 83 female
