77 Bombay Street – Angel

Points: 990,7
Peak: #7
Weeks: 15
Album: Oko town

Back in 2011 their biggest hit had been “Up in the sky” which reached a Top 10 spot in my year-end and in Switzerland it was also their biggest hit. The followup album didn’t work as well as their debut. “Angel” started its chart run in January and reached its peak at #7 at the end of February.
39 #94
Goo Goo Dolls – Rebel beat

Points: 996,1
Peak: #6
Weeks: 17
Album: Magnetic

Somehow the Goo Goo Dolls have adopted #39 in my year-end review. 2011 they charted with “All that you are” and reached #39. Two years later the first single out of their new album “Magnetic” also finished the year at this position.

Jillett Johnson – Cameron

Points: 1004,2
Peak: #7
Weeks: 17
Album: Water in a whale

“Cameron” was the 2nd official single (“Pauvre Coeur” was only a promotional single) from her debut album “Water in a whale”. There is nothing similar to this song out there. The theme and the lyrics are very interesting. In October this song reached its peak on my chart within the Top 10, but in stands totally in the shadow of her biggest hit song “Torpedo” which is in the battle for my top song of the year.

Cascada – Glorious

Points: 1006,7
Peak: #7
Weeks: 16
Album: The best of Cascada

Germany decided to sent Cascada to Eurovision Song Contest. It was my favourite song from this contest this year. Unfortunately this song finished 21st in the final. Certainly it was enough to reach the first Top 10 spot in my chart and a notable year-end position.

Bon Jovi – Because we can

Points: 1022,4
Peak: #9
Weeks: 18
Album: What about now

The waiting after the release of the greatest hits album was worth it. The first single from their latest album “What about now” gained fast attention on my chart, but it took a while before “Because we can” reached Top 10. In March it reached its peak and is up-to-date their biggest hit on my chart.

Kelly Clarkson – Let me down

Points: 1029,0
Peak: #5
Weeks: 17
Album: Stronger

Nearly every song from Kelly Clarkson’s album “Stronger” reached my Top 10. “Let me down” is no difference. By the end of August it was clear that this song is among the strongest songs from that album. This one should’ve been a good single too.

Ellie Goulding – Burn

Points: 1042,2
Peak: #5
Weeks: 16
Album: Halcyon days

She is big in business since 2010. In Austria we are a little bit late to stan on her. So two of her biggest hits from that year “Your song” (used in a commercial) and “Lights” charted this year. But it was her 4th hit 2013 which I fall in love. “Burn” is so far her only Top 10 hit and drew “Figure 8” to debut down my chart.

Jillette Johnson – Flood the ocean

Points: 1052,1
Peak: #5
Weeks: 17
Album: Water in a whale

Here is the 2nd song by Jillette Johnson in my Top 100. “Flood the ocean” beat out “Cameron” and become her 2nd Top 5 hit in 2013.

Taylor Swift – Red

Points: 1083,4
Peak: #5
Weeks: 17
Album: Red

The title track of her last album “Red” had been the 4th official single. And of course it was another top hit for her. At the beginning of February she reached the Top 5. Altogether she stayed for six weeks in my Top 10.

Lifehouse feat. Natasha Bedingfield – Between the raindrops

Points: 1096,6
Peak: #1
Weeks: 26
Album: Almeria

In 2012 this song reached #126 in the year-end. “Between the raindrops” had been the New Year’s #1 in 2012/13. It was the only week this song spent at #1. For both Lifehouse and Natasha Bedingfield it had been their first #1 hit on my chart. Outside North America this beautiful song didn’t got a lot of attention.
