Week 151 – January 19th, 2014

Here’s what I’m gonna do. I’m writing the review for the 151st edition of my chart. For a sixth week in a row Italian singer Emma is topping the chart with “L’amore non mi basta”. This song is now tying 2nd place for the longest strike at the top with “Torpedo” by Jillette Johnson and “Explode” by Cover Drive feat. Dappy. Two more weeks this song is equalising “Receive” by Alanis Morissette and four more weeks Emma is also reaching 10 weeks at the top as “Receive” did back 2012/2013. For a second week Lily Allen’s “Hard out here” is in the runner’s up position and next week this song could debut at #1 in Austria. The podium completing is Jillette Johnson with her beautiful song “Last bus out” (#3).

Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally” (#4) is her first big hit beside “Part of me” on my chart. For the first time she reached Top 5 and she only needs to climb up one spot to reach Top 3. In her fairway is Britney Spears. “Perfume” (#6) is such a nice song that she is repairing her standing with all the sad singles she released in the last years. Behind these two superstars two new songs entered Top 10. “Hush” (#9) is the first K-Pop song within a half year reaching Top 10 and following last year’s biggest K-Pop hit “Wild” by 9Muses. The other one comes from German rapper Sido with singer Mark Forster. “Einer dieser Steine” (#10, “One of those stones”) is also their first Top 10 hit.

The top 10 lost two big hits from the last weeks. “Dimentico tutto” (#13) topped the chart for three weeks and is now outside the Top 10 after 12 weeks. We also have to say goodbye to Lady Gaga’s & R. Kelly’s first Top 10 hit “Do what U want” (#17). Generally in between 11 and 20 there are several good songs. New in this section is a new favourite of mine. Guy Sebastian is a star in Down Under, but elsewhere he hasn’t got a lot attention. With “Like a drum” (#19) he did quite well in Australia where he is in the Top 10 since 10 weeks. This week he climbed up another five spots in its 8th week with this song and is ready for a Top 10 hit.

The greatest gainer of the week also comes from Down Under. It’s not a pop song like “Like a drum”. It’s an Indie pop/rock song by unknown band New Empire. Their chart debut single “Say it like you mean it” (#49) shot up 36 spots to reach the band’s first Top 50 hit. A sensation is this week’s highest debut. It is by band from Ireland which had its best time back in the 1990’s. Last year they released a comeback single which I found out some weeks ago. This week B*Witched entered my chart with their comeback single “Love and money” (#32) which I’m enjoying like their older hits like “Blame it on the weatherman”.

In Austria a new Casting show was launched some weeks ago. “Herz von Österreich” (“Heart from Austria”) is music talent show where only acts from Austria with Austrian/German songs can appreciate. So far this show has seen a lot of covers from older Austrian classics, but some of the bands or singers are presenting their own stuff. One of this new stuff got immediately my attention. “Sinn” (“Meaning”) by Tagträumer was released shortly after the TV show as a single and reached Top 10 on iTunes. In the end this helped them to get into the final round of the show. On my chart this interesting song debuted at #65. The video I’ve linked only shows an acoustic version.

Other debuts are “Beautiful” (#71) by Jessica Mauboy, the two album cuts “Slow it down” (#72) and “When the world breaks your heart” (#73) by Goo Goo Dolls, the free downloadable single “So much more” (#74) by Candice Russell which is from her debut album of the same name, “What if I was nothing” (#86) by All That Remains, “Changer” (#89, “Change”) by Maître Gims, “Mother” (#90) by Lita Ford, “Turn it up” (#94) by Wanessa feat. Soulja Boy, “Fire” (#95) by SICI, “The fire” (#98) by Elin Bergman and “Missing you” (#99) by 2ne1.
