Pink feat. Lily Rose Cooper

Points: 2793,6
Peak: #1 (4 weeks)
Weeks: 37
Album: The truth about love
Chart Debut: March 23, 2013
First week at #1: May 11, 2013
Writer(s): Alecia Moore, Greg Kurstin, Lily Rose Cooper
Producer(s): Greg Kurstin

An amazing year went by for Pink. With her 4th single from her “The truth about love” album she reached new standards for her on my chart. I really like this album and all singles which have been released from this album. But this one has done better. It topped the chart for four weeks and stayed in the Top 10 for 17 weeks which is more as twice the average a song stays on my chart. This song is this year’s biggest collaboration, but I think that the part by Lily Allen is a little bit too short. This doesn’t matter because I love this song.

Alanis Morissette – Receive

Points: 3147,8
Peak: #1 (8 weeks in 2012 and 2 weeks in 2013)
Weeks: 60
Album: Havoc and bright lights
Chart Debut: October 27, 2012
First week at #1: November 3, 2012
Writer(s): Alanis Morissette, Guy Sigsworth
Producer(s): Joe Chiccarelli

Back in 2012 I wrote about this song “At #29 you find the song which should have been the #1 song in my year-end review.” After stopping at #29 in 2012 “Receive” come back with a long activity my chart never has seen. At the end it stayed 60 weeks before it left. “Receive” returned to #1 after a break of four weeks at the end of January 2013 and topped the chart for two more weeks. This song is definitely one of my favourite songs by her and it is needless to say that this song should’ve deserved more attention worldwide. However “Receive” is one of the best songs I’ve charted in the last three years, but it didn’t reach #1 in 2013 too. One song by an unknown artist prevented “Receive” for receiving the honour this song deserves.

Jillette Johnson – Torpedo

Points: 3442,7
Peak: #1 (6 weeks)
Weeks: 47
Album: Water in a whale
Chart Debut: February 2, 2013
First week at #1: February 16, 2013
Writer(s): Jillette Johnson
Producer(s): Peter Zizzo, Michael Mangini

Believe it or not this #1 song of the year had some troubles first. For about three weeks it stumbled in my bubbling under list before it debuted at #90 and it wasn’t sure that “Torpedo” will get a lot of attention. But it occurred that I had some troubles in my working life in these days and the lyrics, although this song is not about job problems, fit very well. Within a week this piano driven upbeat and powerful song sprinted to #3 which is the biggest leap so far on my chart. A week later it was my #1 for six weeks. I was generally fallen in love with this song and artist. Her debut album “Water in a whale” produced several Top 10 hits this year, but “Torpedo” is the brilliant and outstanding track on this album.
