Year-End Review 2013 - Spots 50 - 41

		international	note
50		#14 #42 #11	Matt Cardle & Melanie C – Loving you Points: 886,4 Peak: #9 Weeks: 15 Album: Porcelain Another good year goes by for one of my favourite male singers. “Loving you” was the 1st single out of Matt Cardle’s third album. This duet with Melanie C is another prove how good he is, but in this year’s countdown it isn’t his best song. “It’s only love” his best song in this review is competing for #1 which he reached last year with “Starlight”.
49		no success	Lauter Leben – Es ist soweit Points: 895,8 Peak: #8 Weeks: 15 Album: Richtung Morgen Only a handful German pop rock song made it into my chart this year. One of the best songs out of this genre is “Es ist soweit”. This song has been released early this year and reached Top 10 in April. It’s unbelievable that this song didn’t gained attention in Germany. It should’ve been a top hit.
48		no success	Kelly Clarkson – You can’t win Points: 906,3 Peak: #9 Weeks: 16 Album: Stronger Here is the next album track from “Stronger”. One more time Kelly Clarkson reached the Top 10. It’s only the 4th best song from her in the countdown.
47		#1	Chiara Galiazzo – Due respiri Points: 906,3 Peak: #5 Weeks: 15 Album: Un posto del mondo Chiara won the 6th season of X-Factor in Italy. Her debut single “Due respire” reached the Top spot in Italy and on my chart this song peaked at #5 in February. I mostly like the piano riff which works perfect with her voice.
46		no success	Johannes Oerding – Jemanden wie dich Points: 921,4 Peak: #8 Weeks: 16 Album: Für immer ab jetzt “Für immer ab jetzt“ is Johannes Oerding’s third album. He could place two singles from this album in my chart. The highest from both was “Jemanden wie dich” which can carry an audience with a great beat and intelligent lyrics.
45		#20 #20 #21 #23 #9 #12	Taylor Swift – 22 Points: 923,8 Peak: #5 Weeks: 16 Album: Red Taylor Swift is going between the genres. The song about the life with "22" is one of my favourites from this album. Before summer “22” reached its peak within the Top 10.
44		#100 #155	Backstreet Boys – In a world like this Points: 942,5 Peak: #6 Weeks: 16 Album: Red In my eyes this is one of the strongest songs Backstreet Boys have ever released. It’s a beautiful song and once more written by Max Martin. I can’t understand why such a song didn’t perform better out there.
43		no success	Tich – Breathe in breathe out Points: 952,8 Peak: #6 Weeks: 17 Album: Candlelight EP When I first noticed her debut single which is a little bit higher in this countdown I found out that she had released the “Candlight” EP a little bit earlier. I like this EP, but “Breathe in breathe out” exactly shows what she can. It’s a thrilling song which should be a regular single by her.
42		no success	Alanis Morissette – Lens Points: 965,9 Peak: #6 Weeks: 16 Album: Havoc and bright lights With the first post of the review I pointed out that my favourite artist of the year is Alanis Morissette. With her latest album “Havoc and bright lights” she could easily connect with her other albums. “Lens” was the 2nd single out of this album and is only her 4th best song in this review while two songs out of this album are in my Top 10.
41		#63 #131	Alex Hepburn – Miss Misery Points: 972,7 Peak: #8 Weeks: 16 Album: Together alone Her deep voice is refreshing. Last year I also had a song from a woman with a deep voice. It has been “Playing for keeps” by Elle King which reached #71 in the year-end of 2012. The lyrics of “Miss Miseery” are quite different to other songs I’m listening too. I like best the opening line “Shut your mouth Miss Misery I'll shoot you down”.
