Interesting, according to the itunes charts Jedward are doing better than anybody else. But those charts are all overrated imo, if you check the official Greek charts, "Watch my Dance" is nowhere near the top 20, let alone no 1. It's trajectory in the Greek charts must have come and gone months ago. No trace of any ESC song in the top 40 in Germany either except for Lena's which has a re-entry this week - obviously boosted by the ESC final. However Jedward are indeed at no 3 in Ireland ( a small, patriotic market ) again as a result of their participation and Blue are at no 26 in the UK.
Of course if a song is not released physically as well its chart history could be rather brief based solely on downloads. And I doubt the Azerbaijani song will be released as a single as a result of winning the contest.
"Popular" for example, a former no 1 song in Sweden (!) is still in the top 40 but it's ESC showing did not stop it from falling in the official charts.
