Year-End Review 2013 - Spots 60 - 51

		international	note
60		#73 #10 #7 #41 #9 #3 #3 #3	Demi Lovato – Heart attack Points: 856,6 Peak: #15 Weeks: 17 Album: Demi Since her single “Skyscraper” which was recently covered by British X-Factor winner by Sam Bailey back in 2011 Demi Lovato placed every year a single in my Top 100. This year it it’s the dance song “Heart attack”.
59		#70	Biffy Clyro – Biblical Points: 863,4 Peak: #9 Weeks: 15 Album: Opposites Scottish Alternative Rock band Biffy Clyro had only one chart hit before they released their latest album “Opposites”. “Biblical” is the 2nd single out of this album and scored with strong lyrics and a good video.
58		no success	Matt Cardle – Sparks Points: 865,3 Peak: #10 Weeks: 17 Album: Letters I’m not always pleased with the selections of singles Matt Cardle is releasing. “Sparks” was only a bonus track on his debut album. In my opinion it should have been released as a regular one. This one is none of his ballads and has a more driven beat.
57		#33	Aurea – Nothing left to say Points: 867,2 Peak: #7 Weeks: 15 Album: Soul notes Back in 2011 I heard for the first time the later #1 “Okay alright” by new Portuguese star Aurea. I really enjoyed this debut album and her 2nd album “Soul notes” is not bad either, but I think that “Soul notes” isn’t as strong as her debut album. “Nothing left to say” is a powerful song with strong lyrics. Until now it’s the best charting track from this album.
56		no success	Bon Jovi – What about now Points: 867,3 Peak: #7 Weeks: 15 Album: What about now Early this year Bon Jovi released their new album. The title track was the 2nd single. By the end of June this song was their 2nd Top 10 hit this year. “Because we can” did a little better in this review.
55		no success	Pink – The truth about love Points: 868,06 Peak: #10 Weeks: 16 Album: The truth about love In autumn 2012 Pink released her latest album “The truth about love” and she continued the success. The title track “The truth about love” isn’t released as single, but reached #55 in my year-end chart 2013.
54		#45 #42 #48	Lana Del Rey – Dark Paradise Points: 868,1 Peak: #8 Weeks: 5 Album: Born to die Back in 2012 Lana Del Rey had big hits with “Blue Jeans” and “Summertime sadness”. “Summertime sadness” was re-released in a remix version this year, but failed to chart again for me. While she had a perfect 2012 2013 didn’t work so much for her. Only “Dark Paradise” reached the year-end Top 100.
53		#1 #1 #3	Zara Larsson – Uncover Points: 880,1 Peak: #6 Weeks: 16 Album: Introducing EP 16 year old Swedish girl Zara Larsson introduce herself into the Swedish music. It is a fantastic song with a focused video. She took Scandinavia by storm and reached #1 in Sweden and Norway. Outside Scandinavia this brilliant track which is comparable to Rihanna’s world hit “Umbrella” was overseen.
52		#2 #3 #8 #25 #15 #4 #5 #1 #3 #1	Olly Murs feat. Flo Rida – Troublemaker Points: 884,4 Peak: #9 Weeks: 18 Album: Right place right time What a good start into the year 2013 for Olly Murs and Flo Rida. This song had been released in December 2012 and reached its peak early in 2013. For both artists it had been their first Top 10 hit on my chart.
51		#9 #3 #38	Ricky Martin – Come with me Points: 885,6 Peak: #7 Weeks: 15 Album: - By the summer I thought that I would never hear a good song by Ricky Martin. Since his duet with Christina Aguilera back in 2001 he had no hit for me. It changed with the release of “Come with me”. This dance song climbed fast into my Top 10 and peaked at #7. I hope he will do more songs like this one.
