Week 231 – August 1st, 2015

Last week there had been an earthquake on my chart. This week the amplitude of the seismic waves gave another alarm. No less than 18 new songs can be found in this week’s edition, but none of these songs reached the Top 20. After the shake up last week this week’s chart came back with a new #1. As predicted Anouk scored her first this year with “New day” (#1). She is also the only artist who managed to have a #1 every single year since I re-started charting. Thumps up for her! As always when there is a new #1 the old one has to leave. New Zealand act Broods dropped two spots with their super ballad “Four walls” (#3). Caught between the new and the old #1 is Taylor Swift. While everywhere the version with Kendrick Lamar is doing quite well on my chart the album version is rising to fame. “Bad blood” (#2) continued the trend with a climb of one spot to the runner’s-up position. New in the Top 5 is Swedish star Zara Larsson. Her song “Lush life” (#4) is now one spot behind the podium. The Top 5 is rounded out be German star Lena with “Traffic Lights” (#5). Lena also appeared in MoTrip’s latest video “So wie du bist” (“The way you are”). She had a 15 second appearance as a Go-Go dancer.

The 2nd part of the Top 10 starts with the only rock band in this section. Cold War Kids are doing very well with “First” (#6). Next week they should be in the Top 5. Behind this hymn is former #1 “My heart ain’t that broken” (#7). Needless to say that for Leslie Clio it is shocking not to be within the Top 5 for the first time since April 4th. Her 3rd single “All the other fools” (#12) failed to enter the Top 10 after a good start last week. Leslie Clio failed to enter this part while three other songs by two acts reached this part. First to mention is Austrian band Tagtraeumer. Their latest smash “Brücken zum Mond” (#8, “Bridges to the moon”) sprinted up 8 spots. Kate Voegele returned to the Top 10 with a double pack. “When I’m gone” (#9) is still leading and “Ooh la la” (#10) is still following. This brings Kate Voegele four out of five songs from her “Wild Card EP” into the Top 10.

The highest debut is by Kelly Clarkson. Sure I like her latest album “Piece by piece” but in my eyes “Stronger” is better. Nevertheless she had so far a #1 hit from “Piece by piece” with “Heartbeat song” (#77) while “Invincible” (#70) and “Piece by piece” (#71) peaked outside the Top 10. This week she returned with her promotional single “Someone” (#29). This song is one of the best songs on this album and should bring her back into the Top 10 in the future. But it isn’t her only new song in this week’s chart. The other one is “Dance with me” (#47) which didn’t as well as “Someone”, but should reach a respectable peak in the upcoming weeks.

Not far behind “Someone” is the 2nd highest new entry. Most of you would never consider charting a song in Norwegian. I’ve not done it before either. However I’ve charted songs from various countries and languages before so that this one isn’t a big surprise. “Bare min” (#31, “Only mine”) is a very catchy guitar pop song from Norwegian newcomer Magnus Clausen who is better known under Morgan Sulele. This song is #1 in Norway since five weeks and also reached the chart in Sweden where it peaked at #66. I didn’t pay much attention when this song first came out, but this week I gave this song a listen and then I can’t stop listening. Some years ago we had in Austria also such a catchy guitar pop song by James Cottrial. “Unbreakable” was a big radio hit, but failed to get higher than #14 in the chart in Austria.

The 4th new entry within the Top 50 is by Sublime With Rome. I’ve not heard a lot about them in the past, but when I found out about “Wherever you go” (#48) I gave it chance. Now it is one of the best new songs in this week’s edition. I really like this reggae feeling about this song and I personally think it could do as well as last year’s smash “Rude” by Magic!.

Other new entries are “Sinner like you” (#64) by Parson James, “2 heads” (#80) by Coleman Hell, “Something good” (#85) by Dead Sara, “Written in the water” (#86) by Gin Wigmore, “Wings” (#87) by Delta Goodrem, “Locked away” (#88) by R. City feat. Adam Levine, “Trip switch” (#91) by Nothing But Thieves, “I can feel it” (#94) by Hey Violet formerly known as Cherri Bomb, “Hold each other” (#95) by A Great Big World feat. Futuristic, “Going out like that” (#96) by Reba McEntire, “Sweet escape” (#97) by Alesso feat. Sirena, “Cosmic bruise” (#98) by Clara Luize, “Firestorm” (#99) by Conchita Wurst and “Raining down” (#100) by Peter Luts feat. Jannika.
