Week 257 – January 30th, 2016

This week’s Top 10 is really divided into two sections: the one without a position change and the second with five new songs. As every week I’m starting with my top song and for a fourth week it is “Damage done” (#1) by Leslie Clio. This song is really good song and maybe “Damage done” will go near the wonderful and unreachable “My heart ain’t that broken” (#48). Still in the runner’s up position is “Nichts” (#2, “Nothing”) by Austrian Tagtraeumer. Although I think that their album is in the best way average with their singles they are doing more than well on my chart. Most of the time they got their #1 and maybe there are one or two songs of this album which could do well too. The podium is completed by Taylor Swift’s “New romantics” (#3). The other two non-movers are “Hello” (#4) by Adele and “Vergiss mein nicht” (#5, “Forget-Me-Not”) by Solarkreis.

Last week I speculated about some new songs for my Top 10. This week some of these mentioned songs reached this part. For the first time in my Top 10 is Sara Hartman with her debut single “Monster lead me home” (#6). Moving to Berlin hasn’t been a bad idea so far with this single. Sure she hadn’t gained a lot of attention with this song, but things can always change. An old acquaintance in my Top 10 is Anouk. This time she returned with “Last goodbye” (#6). Anouk is followed by Clare Bowen. Clare Bowen is portraying “Scarlett O’Connor” in the TV series Nashville. For her “Black roses” (#8) is the highest charting song from this show and her first Top 10 hit. She is also the 2nd artist from this show to reach my Top 10 and with this entry she outperformed Aubrey Peeples’s “Gonna get even” (#59) which peaked at #9. Next in line is “New bohemia” (#9) by alternative band Transviolet. They had two minor hits in 2015 and now they are reaching the Top 10 which should be big in 2016. This song would deserve it and I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Last but not least is the winner of the German version of “The Voice”. Jamie-Lee Kriewitz climbed up six spots with the winning single “Ghost” (#10).

For the third time German band Kuult are the greatest gainer of the week with their current single “Berlin” (#22). In it’s ninth week on chart they climbed up 13 spots and just missed the Top 20 which they possible will join by next week. The highest new entry is going to two acts which had one chart hit before. Major Lazer and Wild Belle teamed up for Major Lazer’s recent single “Be together” (#43). For both this high debut is their biggest hit until today, because “Lean on” never reached my Top 50. With this debut they are ready to reach my Top 20, but be careful with my prediction. As you know from the past most of these predictions were wrong.

“Be together” had been the only new entry in my Top 50. So you’ve to go down the chart to find the other seven new songs which reached this week’s edition. These new songs are “Got it wrong” (#76), “Left my woman” (#77) and “American” (#78) by The Wild Feathers, “Sticks & stones” (#95) by Kitty In The Casket, “Let you down” (#96) by River Oaks, “Figure me out” (#97) by The Summer Set and “Fix” (#98) by Chris Lane.
