Week 230 – July 25th, 2015

Let’s shake it off. This week my chart sees 15 new entries and no less than six debuts within the Top 50. But let’s start with the first things first. New Zealand Indie act Broods are still topping the chart with their incredible “Four walls” (#1). It had been a tough choice, but they hold off my favourite singer. Anouk’s latest smash “New day” (#2) had to wait for another week to top the chart. Because the power the song has it is no matter of time it is only a week to wait before “New day” is my #1. The podium completing is Taylor Swift. “Bad blood” (#3) climbed up three spots and is setting the other songs under pressure. Therefore for former #1 “Traffic lights” only #4 has been left over. Still in the Top 5 is Leslie Clio. “My heart ain’t that broken” (#5) is now her only song in the Top 10 because “Be with you” (#11) dropped four spots and missed this week’s Top 10 by one spot. But you’ve not to worry about her because she released her new single which can be found in this week’s edition.

Swedish superstar Zara Larsson did well with her non-album single “Lush life” (#6). After a climb of three spots only the power of “My heart ain’t that broken” prevented her to reach the Top 5. Dropping down is Austrian star Christina Stürmer. Her anthem “Was wirklich bleibt” (#7) dropped three spots and is maybe replaced in the next week’s Top 10. Then there is Madi Diaz. “Dancing in the dark” (#8) finished strong this week with a two spot climb. Last week Cold War Kids where the greatest gainer of the week. This week they continued their upward trend with “First” (#9). After a climb of four spots they earned their 2nd Top 10 hit. For the first time in the Top 10 are MisterWives. Their beautiful “Not your way” (#10) did the last step and is now rounding out the Top 10.

And already I’m with the new entries. As mentioned before Leslie Clio’s new single can be found in this week’s countdown. When you followed my chart over the last couple of months you saw two Top 10 debuts by Leslie Clio. In March “My heart ain’t that broken” debuted at #6 and topped the chart at the end of April for the first time. In the same week “Be with you” debuted at #7 on the chart. After seven weeks “Be with you” replaced “My heart ain’t that broken” at the Top. Now the third single of “Eureka” debuts on my chart. The third single is “All the other fools” (#14). As “My heart ain’t that broken” “All the other fools” is another song about the end of a love. This song is a little bit more stripped down than her other singles, but nevertheless it is a great song. Once more an infectious refrain helps to get a good start. Sure topping all other new entries and reaching the Top 20 is great, but as her other singles started in the Top 10 it is only a little disappointing start. If “All the other fools” is doing as good as her other single from “Eureka” this one will be a future #1 on my chart.

“All the other fools” isn’t the only new entry in the Top 20. One more song shot straight into my heart and is sticking around in my head. It is by Scottish act Chvrches. They debuted on my chart with “Gun” in September 2013 which peaked at #60. Since their general debut in 2012 they released several singles, but all of them except “Gun” failed to impress me. Their 2nd single of their 2nd album changed my mind about this band a little bit. “Leave a trace” (#18) has a great vibe and a very strong chorus. After the first listen to this song I nearly can’t stop listing to it. This is good sign and should earn them their first Top 10 hit in the future. “Leave a trace” debuted directly behind this week’s greatest gainer which is “Bye bye” (#17) by German Cro.

“My kind” (#23) by Hilary Duff just missed the Top 20. It’s the 4th single of her upcoming album “Breathe in. Breathe out.” “All about you” is unforgotten, but while “Sparks” didn't reach the Top 20 “My kind” is ready to make the turnaround. I like this song although it is a little bit weaker than the mentioned two new entries, but we will see which of these songs will do better in the long run. Also starting well are two well known artists. Madeline Juno placed another promo single on my chart. “Do it again” (#29) is a great song and should end in the Top 10. Then there is Leona Lewis. With her first single of her new album “Fire under my feet” (#80) she failed to reach a top spot. But her next singles are doing well with “Thunder” (#32) is the better one. “Thunder” and “I am” (#61) are good songs and finally she going back with songs she started with. At least “Thunder” should be a huge hit for her.

The 6th new entry in the Top 50 is by a German and Canadian cooperation and it is a cover. Back in the early 2000’s Baby Bash released “Suga Suga” which is really good song. This year German DJ Robin Schulz released a dance cover of this song with Canadian newcomer Francesco Yates singing on “Sugar” (#49). Robin Schulz had four Top 3 hits in Austria since his start back in 2014 including the #1’s “Prayer in C” and “Waves” which he remixed. These songs and his latest smash “Headlights” with Ilsey failed to get any attention on my chart. Maybe this cover is changing this fact a bit, but only the future will show if this is a breakthrough for Robin Schulz on my chart.

Other new entries are “Dangerous” (#60) by Alyssa Reid feat. The Heist, “11:11” (#62) by Arkells, “Break up with him” (#63) by Old Dominion, “Another you” (#64) by Madeline Juno, “Supergirl” (#84) by Anna Naklab feat. Alle Farben & Younotus, “Shake that” (#95) by Samantha Jade feat. Pitbull, “Break through the silence” (#99) by Martin Garrix vs. Matisse & Sadko and “You’re mine” (#100) by Keely Brittain.
