Week 234 – August 22nd, 2015

Last week they stormed into the Top 3. A week later they ended Anouk’s run at the top with “New day” (#3) which dropped two spots. I’m writing about Austrian band Tagtraeumer. They had a very, very slow start with “Brücken zum Mond” (“Bridges to the moon”) but in its 11th week on chart this song finally did the last step. “Brücken zum Mond” is now their 3rd #1 on my chart. They are followed by Zara Larsson. I wrote about it that I don’t see “Lush life” (#2) at #1 and one of the few times I was right. Directly behind the top hits of this week is Leslie Clio. “All the other fools” (#4) climbed up three spots while “My heart ain’t that broken” left the Top 10 after amazing 21 weeks. The Top 5 is closed by Taylor Swift’s “Bad blood” (#5).

Not far away the Top 5 is Emma with “Occhi profondi” (#6, “Deep eyes”). “Occhi profondi” is a good song, but at the moment I don’t see this song hitting #1. “First” (#7) by Cold War Kids and “Four walls” (#9) by Broods are the droppers between the new songs in this section. The German singer Cro scored his 1st Top 10 hit with “Bye bye” (#8).A super cool song about missed chances in the love. And then there is Taylor Swift again. With “All you had to do is stay” (#10) she reached the Top 10 while “I wish you would” missed this part by one spot.

As last week there are several debuts in the Top 50. Last week these songs had been from my home country and from Germany. This week it is the same. The highest debut is collaboration between German rapper Sido and singer Andreas Bourani. For Sido’s new album “VI” they worked together on a song called “Astronaut” (#26). It debuted last week in Germany at #1. This song has everything. Good lyrics, a good melody and of course a very catchy refrain. For both “Astronaut” could be their 2nd Top 10 hit on my chart. One spot behind “Astronaut” is the 2nd single by Austrian newcomer Dykris. While her 1st one failed to impress me this one is a great track which is absolutely in the direction of the big hits in this decade. “Frei” (#27, “Free”) is a song I would have not expected by an Austrian artist. Not why I think that there couldn’t be such great songs by Austrian musicians, but because their hadn’t been anything near over the last years if one disregards Christina Stürmer and Tagtraeumer who are releasing a different kind of music.

Writing about Tagtraeumer is leading me to the next new entry which is also from Austria. Tagtraeumer have lifted Austrian pop music to a new level and against the expectations they have huge success with their songs on the radio too (I’ve written about the problems Austrian musicians have before). My actual #1 “Brücken zum Mond” is a good example. Normally Austrian musician won’t get a lot airplay on Austrians biggest radio station, but since their breakthrough with “Sinn” they are the most played Austrian band there which brings “Brücken zum Mond” into the Top 10 of this radio station. But back to the new entry. Tagtraeumer did this new Austrian pop music and some other band are trying to copy this success. Such as the new band Kompass Nord. Their debut single “Nacktbaden” (#38, “Nude bathing”) is a fresh summer song which lyrical is maybe not at the level of Tagtraeumer, but who cares. The song is well done, the video is quite good and the best is that refrain is super catchy which is sticking in my head. As some other good Austrian songs at the moment this song should be at least in my Top 20 and maybe the could walk in the foot steps of Tagtraeumer to get a Top 10 hit.

The last but not least new entry within my Top 50 is by another Austrian newcomer. Solarkreis is a reggae band and their first single “Kumm mit kumm aussi” (#48, “Come along come out”) surprises with the honesty that they haven’t written a single line. They sing “Und olle Rhymes die flauch I nur für di“ („All rhymes I just steal for you). This remembers me to one of my childhood favourites Die Prinzen with “Alles nur geklaut” (“All just stolen”). Back to Solarkreis who quote big Austro pop music from STS to Wolfgang Ambross or the big The Platters hit “Only you”. The video is a reference to Bruno Mars “The lazy song”. All in all a quite good song which I’m a little bit late into because this song had been in the Austrian chart a month ago or so.

Other new songs are “Bis zum Himmel und zurück” (#89, „Tot he heaven and back“) by Madeline Willers, “Du bist die Liebe” (#90, “You are the love”) by Allessa, “Can’t admit it” (#91) by Lily & Madeleine, “Mach die Welt bunt” (#92, “Make the world colourful”) by Tea, “Meine Party” (#96, “My party”) by Schmutzki, “Sehnsucht Nr. 7” (#98, “Longing No. 7”), “Aquamarin” (#99) by Meine Zeit and “Im Himmel ist der Teufel los” (#100, “In heaven all hell breaks loose”).
