The European Broadcasting Union, Eurovision's organisers, said an estimated audience of more than 160 million people watched this year's final, broadcast live in the 37 participating countries and online on YouTube.
Nemo was given a hero's welcome on returning to Switzerland after winning the Eurovision Song Contest on Sunday, being greeted by a whirlwind of cheers, hugs and clanging cowbells.
Nemo Mettler flew into Zurich Airport to be welcomed by several hundred fans, waving flags and banners and chanting the 24-year-old's name.
Nemo won Eurovision 2024 in Malmo in Sweden in the early hours of Sunday, with the highly personal song "The Code", which encapsulated the performer's journey towards realising their non-binary gender identity.
As per tradition, Switzerland will host Eurovision next year.
