Week 178 – July 26th, 2014

The half of summer is nearly gone, but the fresh summer sound is lightning up my chart. Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea are shining bright from the top for a 2nd week with “Problem” (#1). “Peter Pan” (#2) by Jillette Johnson is still in the runners up position and Austrian band Tagträumer is completing the Top 3 with “Mein Herz (für immer)” (#3). The top three songs are the same like last week, but the Top 5 sees two new songs. For Emma it’s nothing new that a song of her ends in this part of the chart. “Ma che vita fai” (#4) climbed up two spots and continues its way to #1. In the shadow of Emma Marlene is also climbing up two spots with “Indian summer” (#5).

While “Hurts” (#6) by Electric Lady Lab dropped two spots former #1 “La mia città” (#9) dropped four spots. For this song by Emma it could be the last week in the Top 10. Three songs, “Light me up” (#13) by Birdy, “I won’t play that game (live)” (#11) by Anouk and “You & I” (#12) also by Anouk, had been replaced in the Top 10 this week. For three artists the dream of a Top 10 placement has come true. Since his debut with “Easy” (I haven’t charted this song) it has been a long way for Cro reaching Top 10. “Traum” (#7) is the 1st single out of his 2nd album and his 1st Top 10 hit on my chart. Nick Howard also had a long way to go. After winning the 2nd season of “The Voice of Germany” he disappeared into oblivion. One and half year later he is still ignored by the most radio stations in Germany. Against all odds his beautiful gem “Can’t break a broken heart” (#8) found its way into my Top 10 after climbing up eight spots in the last week. Then there is the British Indie pop band Chasing Grace. “Run” (#10) reached the Top 10 spot in the very last second after a tough decision against Anouk.

Last week Amelia Lily had the highest debut with “California” (#23). Yesterday the official video to this song was released, but it doesn’t helped her. “California” struggled and stayed for a 2nd week at #23. This week the top debuts can be found within the Top 20 which is a reason why Amelia Lily didn’t reached this part. Let’s start with the highest of the three Top 20 debuts. Over the last years Jukebox The Ghost had four chart hits starting with “Empire” (peaked at #60) back in 2011. There biggest hit had been “Somebody” in 2012 when this song reached #10 for a single week. Two years later Jukebox The Ghost debuts their ballad “The great unknown” (#14) a few spots behind the Top 10 where this song will end. “The great unknown” is the 1st single from the 4th album of the same name and it could be the bands biggest hit. Not even on my chart. This song has everything we all like about those songs by those bands which accompanied us with good music over the years. I press my thumbs that this song will bring them major attention.

Very different from "The great unknown" is “Kisses for breakfast” (#17). I’m sure that not only I haven’t heard of Melissa Steel before. She is a young singer from Bradford, England, with Caribbean roots. And this song has the Caribbean summer feeling. I’ve charted some Reggae songs before with “Explode” by Cover Drive feat. Dappy as the biggest chart hit reaching #1. “Kisses for breakfast” is very catchy and definitely a future Top 10 hit. I really like this sing along song. The third debut within the Top 10 is by Ariana Grande feat. Zedd. “Break free” (#19) is the 2nd single out of her upcoming 2nd album “My everything” and could be her next big hit on my chart. When I first listened to the opening of this song I thought that this isn’t the real song, because there are a lot of videos on Youtube with similar sound, making fun on the listeners. So it definitely took some time before I gave the whole song a chance offside this intro. And it was worth it. The greatest gainer of the week are “Lightning” (#36) by Cash Cash feat. John Rezeznik and “Free” (#46) by Chasing Grace.

Other then the mentioned debuts are “Word crimes” (#44) by ”Weird Al” Jankovic, “We mgle” (#85, “Into the fog”) by Ewelina Lisowska, “Burning gold” (#91) by Christina Perri, “Wrong club” (#93) by The Ting Tings, “Tidal waves and hurricanes” (#94) by Maggie, “Way we are” (#95) by Kove feat. Melissa Steel, “All about that bass” (#96) by Meghan Trainor, “Amazing” (#98) by Francesca Michielin and “Non puoi chiamarlo amore” (#100, You can’t call it love”) by Bianca Atzei.
