SBS’s coverage of Eurovision helped the network into double figures for week 20, while Seven claimed the win for the fifth week in a row winning every day. Seven’s highest share was on Thursday with Nine doing best on Sunday. SBS had two fourth places on Friday and Saturday while 10’s best result was Monday.

ABC got a boost from the Budget coverage to rank second on Tuesday. The broadcast of The Treasurer’s Budget Speech ranked fourth for the week with almost 1.3m and was only beaten by Seven’s weekday news bulletin and the Sunday bulletins of the commercial networks.

Also making the top 10 was the Second Game in the Women’s State of Origin that outrated game one to come in eighth. That was ahead of The Floor that was the top entertainment show of the week with both episodes in the top 10.

That placed it ahead of Home and Away with 934k, The 1% Club (901k) and Have You been Paying Attention? (815k).

Just making the top 20 was Tipping Point that held off a challenge from a resurgent The Chase. MasterChef had three episodes in the top 30 while Glenn and Mick’s Celebrity Intervention slipped to 32nd and My Reno Rules managed 47th. SBS’s new series of Who Do You Think You Are? was 85th with the best Eurovision result just making the top 100.
