Week 165 – April 26th, 2014

Even at the end of April nothing changed at the Top of my chart. Anouk is shining bright from the top. “I won’t play that game” (#1) is still followed by her “You & I” (#2). Last week it seemed that Chila Lynn could break the Anouk double pack, but in the end “When love …” (#3) didn’t move up and so she completes the podium for a 2nd week. Austrian band Tagträumer finally receives gaining radio airplay with “Sinn” (#4) in their home country. Therefore they didn’t fall on my chart this week. Only one act managed to enter the Top 10. US band Neon Trees climbed up four spots with their catchy “Sleeping with a friend” (#7). Neon Trees replaced Matt Cardle’s “Empire” (#13).

Birdy lost her duel with Neon Trees. “Light me up” (#11) climbed up only one spot is now the top song outside the Top 10 while Tone Damli and her beautiful “Heartkill” (#12) climbed up two. German dance act Cascada also did a bigger step with their cover of “Blink” (#14). For the first time in history an Austrian band has more than two songs in the Top 20 on my chart. While “Sinn” is still among the top hits “Schwerelos” (#18) finally climbed up seven spots and reached a new peak. Hopefully “Schwerelos” is another Top 10 hit for them. Currently they are working on their debut album which should be released in summer.

Last week Rita Ora debuted with “I will never let you down” (#30) at #47. This week she climbed up 17 spots and so “I will never let you down” is the greatest gainer of the week. A little bit better did this week’s highest debut. In Sweden Ace Wilder participated in the Melodifestivalen 2014 with “Busy doin’ nothin’ “ (#44). Shortly after “Busy doin’ nothin’ “ reached #1 in Sweden, but this song won’t represent Sweden in Denmark. Sweden will be represented by Sanna Nielsen with “Undo” which only reached #2 in Sweden. This could be a classic mistake for Sweden, but we all will see in a few weeks if “Undo” is doing well during the Eurovision Song Contest.

The 2nd highest debut comes from two artists who had no chart hit before. TWB which stands for The Writer’s Block are a team of producers from London who met first at Westminster University back in 2010. For their debut they selected French singer Anouck, but there could be some misunderstandings because on iTunes their debut single is listed under TWB feat. Anouk which is referred to my favourite singer Anouk from the Netherlands. “Dancing in the dark” (#49) is one of those songs which fits best with the actual chart busters from Disclosure, Rudimental or even Clean Bandit with a mix of classic house part and an early 1990’s dance-pop. If this song would be picked up by the radio stations this could be the next big hit.

And there is a third debut within the Top 50. It’s a cooperation between DJ Cassidy, Robin Thicke and Jessie J for DJ Cassidy’s debut album “Paradise royale”. While Jessie J is a well-known artist on my chart for the other two “Calling all hearts” (#50) is their chart debut. For a while I absolutely ignored this song. Maybe because Robin Thicke is singing on this song and I didn’t like his 2013 chart buster “Blurred lines”. But as this song was picked up from Austrian radio stations I gave it a chance and now it is one of those songs which could do well in the future.

Other debuts are “Baby doll” (#62) by Meet Brothers Anjjan feat. Kanika Kapoor which is the title track from “Ragini MMS 2”, “So viel leichter” (#78, “So much easier”) by Luna Simao feat. SAM, “Alles wird gut” (#80, “Everything will be ok”) by Luna Simao, “Einmal im Leben” (#83, “Once a live“) by Luxuslärm, “Million euro smile” (#84) by The Makemakes, “Sailing” (#85) by Mike Oldfield feat. Luke Spiller, “Extraordinary” (#93) by Clean Bandit feat. Sharna Bass, “One night stand” (#96) by TWiiNS feat. Flo Rida and “Body say no, heart say yeas” (#97) by Ashley Allen.
