Week 219 – May 9th, 2015

One of the biggest earthquakes churned my chart. 20 new entries mark a new record which I never thought would happen. Although there are so many new songs on this week’s countdown not even a half dozen made into the Top 50. German Leslie Clio survived the chaos without trouble. “My heart ain’t that broken” (#1) is still shining bright from the top while “Be with you” (#3) climbed up one spot and reached the podium. Caught between Leslie Clio is Kate Voegele. Her super catchy “Caroussel” (#2) is holding the runners-up position for a third week in a row. Dropping out of the Top 3 are British band New Motion. “Anyway” (#4) dropped one, but this song is still charming. And finally Chic feat. Nile Rodgers entered the Top 5 with “I’ll be there” (#5).

“I’ll be there” replaced former #1 “Crossroads” (#6). While the Eurovision Song Contest is coming up Satin Circus had to watch this show at home, because the Finnish voters voted against them. Directly behind Satin Circus the highest new entry can be found. Once more this song is from Germany. And no it’s not Leslie Clio. A third new entry within seven weeks would have been too much and there is no 3rd single out at the moment. Speaking about the Eurovision Song Contest and Germany is always ending with the two German winners. Nicole’s “Ein bisschen Frieden” (“A little peace”) is unforgotten and a German evergreen. The other winner was Lena. Beside her big Eurovision hit “Satellite” I’ve not been a big fan of her music although she had several Top 10 hits in Germany. Her recent single “Traffic lights” (#7) from her upcoming album “Crystal sky” is lifting her to another level for me. This song has everything to become a big hit outside of Germany, but unfortunately songs from Germany acts aren’t quite popular in Europe.

Lena isn’t the only new artist in my Top 10. Let’s focus on this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Satin Circus failed to qualify while Estonian singers Stig Rästa and Elina Born are representing their country with “Goodbye to yesterday” (#10). In its 9th week this song did the last step to enter my Top 10 and this song could climb up in the next weeks too. Elina Born’s part “Why didn’t you wake me up?” is sticking in my head and why not bring them a possible Top 5 spot in the contest? I keep my fingers crossed that they do well in Vienna. Between Lena and Elina Born feat. Stig Rästa there are “Funky love” (#8) by Laura Tesoro and “All this could be yours” (#9) by Cold War Kids.

The 2nd best new entry is by Austria's biggest star at the moment. Christina Stürmer returns with her Best-of-album “Gestern. Heute. – Best of”. The first single out of this album is “Was wirklich bleibt” (#27, “What really remains”). This song is not really comparable with her #1 single “Millionen Lichter” (“Million lights”). It is more in the direction of her softer hit songs. “Was wirklich bleibt” started good and should reach the Top 20, but at the moment I’m not sure if there is a chance for topping the chart, because I think that the two Leslie Clio songs are too strong. But what interests me my talk today in a few weeks? The greatest gainer of the week is “If a go” (#43) by Ella Eyre.

British singer Rae Morris has released several singles since her debut in 2012. Only one has reached the UK Top 100 so far and no single by her reached my chart until this week. “Love again” (#38) is the song she is debuting with. Although released in January as a regular single it took a while I noticed this fact. Also debuting in the Top 50 are Juli and Madonna. Juli’s last album flopped for me as I pointed out last year while their first single “Insel” topped my chart. Now the released their 2nd single from this album and against my last year’s prediction I really like their new one. “Wasserfall” (#49, “Waterfall”) by Juli started a little bit better than Madonna’s recent single “Ghost town” (#50) which is for me her best single in a while. Other debuts are too many to count this week so you better look over my chart.
