Week 252 – December 26th, 2015

Things slowed down in the week before X-mas. This week sees some interesting new entries and a new #1. Let’s start from the beginning. Austrian top act at the moment Tagtraeumer are scoring their fourth #1 out of five Top 10 hits with “Nichts” (“Nothing”). “Nichts” impresses with brilliant lyrics even if the refrain isn’t as good as the one from “Brücken zum Mond” (#46). Tagtraeumer took the #1 while French singer Sindy continued climbing up very fast by reaching #2 with “Je m’en fous” (“I don’t care”). At the moment I can’t exclude that Sindy will grab her first #1 by next week and the first one in French too. The only piece of a puzzle which remained at the same spot as last week has been Adele’s wonderful “Hello” (#3). This leads me to last week's #1. Leslie Clio dominated my chart for the whole year, but “Eureka” ’s (#4) drop from #1 is her biggest this year. She will be able to get over it, because it has been an amazing year for her on my chart. Then there is for a 2nd week in a row at #5 Taylor Swift’s “Wildest dreams”.

Are Solarkreis the next big thing in Austria? In my opinion they’ve the chance to follow up Tagtraeumer. Their first smash “Kumm mit kumm aussi” showed their potential which they played off with their recent hit “Vergiss mein nicht” (#6, “Forget-me-not”). Comparing the sales between Tagtraeumer and Solarkreis they are far away. For comparison “Vergiss mein nicht” only charted for one week in Austria and the general airplay is very disappointing. But maybe they get their breakout next year. Behind Solarkreis you can find Madi Diaz. He recent Top 10 hit “The first time” (#7) dropped one spot. Madi Diaz is followed by the highest ranked new song in this week’s Top 10 which is Taylor Swifts’ “New romantics”. “1989” is producing more and more Top 10 hits for me and it seems that “1989” is at least as good as represented on my chart than her previous album “Red”. The 2nd new song within the Top 10 is the anti war song “Nur ein Lied” (#10, “Just a song”) by Alex Diehl. Caught between Taylor Swift and Alex Diehl is former #1 “Feiah fonga” (#9, “Catching fire”) by Austrian band Krautschädl.

Leslie Clio’s run at the top ended this week, but there is one song by her which is sprinting up the chart. In its 4th week “Damage done” another song about the love which didn’t work well climbed up 11 spots. Above I wrote that Sindy has a real chance for getting the first #1 in French, but you shouldn’t forget about the one and only Leslie Clio and her domination in 2015. “Damage done” has everything to follow up in the footsteps of “My heart ain’t that broken” (#47) or “All the other fools” (#28). Once more this song is captivating with brilliant lyrics and associations as well as a very catchy refrain. For the first time in years I’ve the feeling that this is a song which could reach the top spot from outside the Top 10. The only two songs which did the same had been “Run run run” (19-1) by Celeste Buckingham in 2012 and “Second chance” (16-1) by Peter, Bjorn & John in 2011. But keep in mind that my predictions aren’t always working well.

The highest debut can be found outside the Top 30. It is a song from the TV series “Nashville”. With “Black roses” (#32) Australian Clare Bowen is interpreting one of the most emotional songs in this show. I always liked her voice and I think this is far her best song. If it works as well as I believe this could be her first Top 10 hit on my chart and maybe “Black roses” can outperform Aubrey Peeples’ “Gonna get even” (#17). One spot behind I’m debuting a song which I know since weeks. It is “New bohemia” (#33) by Transviolet. Over the last weeks I charted the bands first singles “Bloodstream” and “Girls your age”, but “New bohemia” is my favourite so far. The third debut in the Top 50 is by Louane. Louane has a big hit with “Avenir” ("Future") around Europe. I personally don’t like this song, but I can understand why this song is a hit. Personally I prefer her non-album single “Nos secrets” (#50, “Our secrets”) which contains a small part with English lyrics, but that’s not the reason why I’m charting this song. Similar to “Je m’en fous” the refrain is very catchy and this time I like the melody of the song too. My French isn’t as good to understand every single word so I’ve to look over the lyrics while listening, but that doesn’t matter because I don’t understand every word in English songs too, although my English is better.

Other new songs are “Wenn du schläfst” (#61, “While you’re sleeping”) by Max + Johann feat. Vincent Malin, “Fire” (#62) by Rae Garvey, “Don’t put dirt on my grave just yet” (#63) by Hayden Panettiere, “Last goodbye” (#64) and “Looking for love” (#65) by Anouk, “Say love” (#92) by JoJo, “Dei Lebn” (#99, “Your life”) by Gnackwatschn and “Lights will guide me” (#100) by Fahrenhaidt feat. Amanda Pedersen.
