Week 158 – March 8th, 2014

A #1 debut doesn’t happen all the time. The last time it occurred was in September 2012 when Cover Drive feat. Dappy debuted at #1 with “Explode”. They stayed at the top for six consecutive weeks and “Explode” was one of the biggest hits in 2012 and 2013. For the 2nd time in my chart history a song debuts at the top. This time it comes by one of my core artists over the years. Anouk’s last album “Sad singalong songs” produced only one #1 hit and the non-album single “Wigger” peaked at #17 so she didn’t met my expectations. With her new single “You & I” she did better and reached her first #1 debut. For this song she worked with Netherlands best known DJ Afrojack. This single becomes her 6th #1 in three years and is following “Pretending as always” which peaked at #1 in October last year. “You & I” is more a dance song than her typical rock songs.

In general week #158 is one for the records. First there is the #1 debut. Second there are two debuts within the Top 10 which happened only once before when in February 2012 three songs debuted within the Top 10, but none of these songs debuted at #1. Third the two debuts in the Top 10 are by the same artist. While Anouk’s #1 debut is a dance pop song her other Top 10 debut is more typical for her. “I won’t play that game (live)” (#4) is one of two promotional singles from her live album “Live at the Symphonica at Rosso” which is going to be released next week. While I decided not to chart the other promotional single “Woman” – which is one of my favourite tracks from “For bitter or worse” – for the moment “I won’t play that game” is one of two new tracks on this album.

I mentioned three reasons why this week is a week for the books. There is a fourth reason too. For the first time since I decided not to chart a whole album at once (which was back in 2011) the top five debuts are by one artist. So this week is Anouk’s week. Her debuts three, four and five are the last songs from her “Sad singalong songs” album I’m going to chart. The highest debut of these “Sad singalong songs’ “ is “I don’t know nothing” (#66) which is followed by “The black side of my mind” (#67) and “The rules” (#68).

So enough about Anouk. There is a live beside my favourite artist. Tagträumer lost the top position with “Sinn” (#2) after two weeks, but their new single “Schwerelos” (“Weightless”) is ready for a debut by next week. Jillette Johnson’s “Last bus out” (#7) dropped out of the Top 3 while Emma’s “L’amore non mi basta” is still in there in its 17th charting week. “K.B.A.G” (#11) by Jennifer Rostock and “Hush” (#12) by miss A had to leave Top 10 because of the two top debuts. This week’s greatest gainer is “Ich kenn dich nicht” by Phillip & Julia.

Beside the Anouk debuts following songs are debuting this week: “All the way” (#80) by Timeflies, “Lovers on the run” (#81) by Nihils, “Pure dynamite” (#82) by The Beth Edges, “Undone” (#83) by Haley Reinhart, “Love drunk” (#84) by Max & Bianca, “Cherie” (#97) by Inia feat. Nitro Da Kid, “U” (#98) by Gareth Emery feat. Bo Bruce, “I can’t describe (the way I feel)” (#99) by Jennifer Hudson feat. T.I. and “Du” (#100, “You”) by Erdrauch.
