Week 116 – May 18th, 2013

Love is unfathomable. Otherwise it can’t be explained that Pink is singing about slapping in someone’s face when the whole song is about true love. I really like her new single “True love”, but I personally think that the part of Lily Rose Cooper is too short. In general this a very catchy song and deserves to stay longer at the top. But there is one song behind “True love” which is trying to prevent a longer run. “People like us” (#2) is a typical Kelly Clarkson song. If everything is running normally this song takes over within the next weeks. Holding stable is “Schönste Zeit” (#3) by Bosse while Austrian darling Christina Stürmer is on her way down with “Millionen Lichter” (#4). Last week’s highest debut “Can’t keep waiting” by Canadian country band Autumn Hill climbed up two spots. This week only one song is new in the Top 10. It is US born Natália Kelly. “Shine” (#10) is very radio-friendly and of course catchy. Unfortunately “Shine” was eliminated on Tuesday in Semifinal 1 of the Eurovision Song Contest. This song is a sleeper. It took her 14 weeks to get in the Top 10 and we will see how far it will go in the future.

Once more I have to write that “Biblical” (#11) is knocking at the door to the Top 10. It’s interesting to see how often Biffy Clyro is in this position, but I hope that they come back next week. Otherwise Taylor Swift is on her way up with “22” (#13). From now on Tich has two songs in my Top 20. Her actual single “Dumb” (#6) is trying to reach the Top 5 while “Breathe in, breathe out” (#17) climbed up 11 spots to a new peak. Back in the Top 20 is Anouk with “Birds” (#19). Her performance in Semifinal 1 of the Eurovision Song Contest helped her to get back there. Next week we will find out how much her performance during the final can push her.

This week’s highest new entry comes from Sara Bareilles. Remember back when I re-started my chart back in 2011 she had nine songs of her second album “Kaleidoscope heart” on my chart. It ended up with two songs in the Top 10 where “Uncharted” peaked at #5. Her new single “Brave” (#39) is remembering me to this song. Generally it was tight. Directly behind her Portugals star Aurea debuted with the second single of her album “Soul notes”. “Nothing left to say” (#40) shows how good she really is and what the whole album could have been. It’s a good choice for a second single, but at the moment in Portugal this song and her album didn’t come close the success of her first album.

German band Glasperlenspiel released new material. Their actual single “Nie vergessen” (#47, “Never forget”) brings them a solid Top 50 debut. A Top 20 hit is absolutely possible. Last week Hunter Hayes gave his chart debut with “I want crazy” (#74). This week this song is the greatest gainer by climbing up 20 spots. The other country acts like Luke Bryan with “Crash my party” (#81) or The Henningsens with “American beautiful” (#86) haven’t done bad this week, but there was no way around Hunter Hayes this week.

12 songs debuted this week. Three of these songs debuted within the Top 50. The other new songs are “Dance dance dance” (#78) by James Cottriall, the promotion single “Hymne für dich” (#88, “Hymn for you”) by Sportfreunde Stiller, “Die, die wandern” (#89, “Those who hike”) by Rainhard Fendrich, “Goodbye song” (#90) by Aurea, the winning single of DSDS “Mein Herz” (#94, “My heart”) by Beatrice Egli which is the first winning single from DSDS I like, “I’ll follow you” (#95) by Shinedown, “Caméléon” (#96, Chameleon) by Shy’M, “Stay young” (#98) by Jan Oliver and “Tonight” (#99) by Galavant.
