Matt Cardle – It’s only love

Points: 2119,6
Peak: #1 (1 week)
Weeks: 30
Album: The fire
Chart Debut April 27, 2013
First week at #1: July 27, 2013
Writer(s): Matt Cardle, Paul Statham
Producer(s): Matt Cardle

For a long time Matt Cardle fought for the #1 position in this review. Back in 2013 he had the better end with “Starlight”. But a chart position is not everything even if this song didn’t work in UK. A powerful arrangement and voice and I fall in love with another song by Matt Cardle, but as the most songs by him it took a while before he reached the peak. Three months after debuting “It’s only love” peaked for one week at the top. In my eyes this one is the albums highlight.

Satin Circus – Emma

Points: 2361,1
Peak: #1 (4 weeks)
Weeks: 28 (still charting)
Album: -
Chart Debut June 15, 2013
First week at #1: June 29, 2013

Producer(s): Patric Sarin, Peter Månsson

Back in 2007 it has been the last time a song about a girl caught my attention. Then in June it was the little pearl by new Finnish boy band Satin Circus which got my attention. Their debut single “Emma” was dedicated to Emma Watson. This song has a lot of One Direction in it but it’s not a song by this group. One reason is One Direction never got a #1 hit on my chart. Another reason is that you can’t escape this song. This song is extremely catchy and while the other mentioned boy band had big hits with every single they released this one is a hidden treasure. On my chart in took them only three weeks to top the chart where they stayed for four weeks in a row. At the moment their 2nd single is at #2 on my chart.
