Italy heads the list of voters, ahead of Spain and the United States, while the top ten also features Finland (seventh) and Russia (eighth,) while India and China are in the first fifteen. The number of countries that have supplied votes has increased to 194, including Swasiland, Papua New Guinea, Haiti and Liechtenstein.
