Week 180 – August 9th, 2014

They did it! Tagträumer scored their 2nd #1 with “Mein Herz (für immer)” after “Sinn” (#43) topped the chart for five weeks this year. They are the first Austrian act who could top the chart with two different songs. In Autumn they plan to release their debut album which I hope is as good as their singles. For last week’s #1 “Problem” (#3) by Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea only the last spot at the podium was free this week, because Emma got the runners-up position with “Ma che vita fai” (#2). And from behind another song is pushing forward straight right to #1. It’s Jukebox The Ghost with their incredible “The great unknown” (#4).

Some weeks ago Tagträumer entered directly the Top 10 with their now #1 song “Mein Herz (für immer)”. This week another German song entered Top 10. “Insel” (“Island”, #5) is the first single from Juli’s new album which is also called “Insel”. Ten years ago they had their first hit with “Perfekte Welle” (“Perfect wave”). Since that I’m a big fan of their music. Their last album wasn’t as good as their first two albums. I really hope that they can turn the corner with their 4th album, because my other favourite German bands 4th albums were disappointing. Wir Sind Helden disbanded after this 4th album before they proofed that they could do it better and Silbermond’s 4th album went more in the Coldplay direction which I absolutely don’t like although “Himmel auf” hit #1 back in 2012 when it was released. “Insel” is the perfect song to break this trend. It has the easy listening and the summer sound which should bring them their first #1 on my chart and brings me in the right mood for their new album.

While “Insel” entered the Top 5 Marlene had to drop one with her summer song “Indian summer” (#6). “Peter Pan’s” (#7) catchiness couldn’t prevent Jillette Johnson’s drop and Cro had also to drop one with “Traum” (#9). “Can’t break a broken heart” (#8) by Nick Howard and “Run” (#10) by Chasing Grace hold their spots. “Insel” replaced “Hurts” (#14) by Electric Lady Lab who had to leave the Top 10 after an amazing run. Between 11 and 20 several songs are urged for a Top 10 spot, which is very hard to reach in the next weeks, because the most songs in the Top 10 are at the beginning of their chart run. From “Loves me not” (#11) by Chris Cab over “Maps” (#12) by Maroon 5 to “Break free” (#15) by Ariana Grande feat. Zedd and “Kisses for breakfast” (#17) by Melissa Steel feat. Popcaan or Taylor Swift’s “Starlight” (#18) there is a wide range of music which should be Top 10 in my opinion. But as we all now within in a Top 10 there are only 10 spots and so not every song could reach such a spot although they would deserve it. The greatest gainer of the week comes from the Canadian band Crystalyne. Their song “Punk’s don’t dance” (#46) climbed up 34 spots.

The 2nd best new entry comes from South Korea. “Red” is a the new solo single by Hyuna who is the leading singer from South Korean girl band 4minute. The sound of this song changes several times which makes this song very attractive to listen for me. I really like the rap part in this song. This part brings the song to another level like the change of music at round the 2:20 mark. This sound reminds me on Katy Perry’s “Dark horse”, but instead of “Red” I don’t like the whole Katy Perry song. The video itself is like a copy of modern western music video which is not bad, but not good either because there had been better music video from South Korea before. The sound and the Korean are more memorable than the lyrics would have deserved if you translate the song in English (or German) which makes the song more childish. In the end everything that counts is that I like the song beside good lyrics or not.

Other new entries are “When the beat drops out” (#59) by Marlon Roudette, “Touch my body” (#72) by Sistar, “Superheroes” (#81) by The Script, “Heartbreak city” (#92) by Daniel Baron, “Shut me up” (#94) by Lindsay Ell, “Freidrehen” (“Undercutting”, #97) by Clueso, “See” (#98) by Tycho, “Dahan-Dahan” (“Only slowly”, #99) by Maja Salvador and “The moment” (#100) by Felice feat. Jimmy Wilson. “Shatter me” (#80) by Lindsey Stirling feat. Lzzy Hale re-entered the chart.
