This is all the more pleasing given that VIVA uses official Telecontrol data to constantly monitor the audience ratings and acceptance of the clips it broadcasts. The broadcaster sees the good performance of Swiss musicians as proof of the quality of Swiss pop music, which, according to music director Christian Kramer, no longer needs to shy away from international comparison. The dialect rappers were particularly well received: in the national evaluation, the six best-placed clips all belong to this genre. The Lovebugs followed in seventh place with an English pop/rock track.
