Week 253 – January 2nd, 2016

2016 starts in the same way 2015 ended. An Austrian band is still at #1. The next heart breaking song by Tagtraeumer “Nichts” (#1, “Nothing”) is holding the top spot for a 2nd week in a row, but the end is near. French singer Sindy failed to do the last step to get her 1st #1 with “J m’en fous” (#2, “I don’t care”). If there won’t be Leslie Clio behind her with “Damage done” (#3) the chance for reaching #1 would be better. Last week I wrote that “Damage done” could be the first #1 after spending the week before outside my Top 10. This week “Damage done” climbed up all the way to #3, but for her next #1 Leslie Clio has to wait. In the meanwhile Adele goes down one spot with “Hello” (#6). The Top 5 is rounded out with the next Austrian band in the Top 5. Solarkreis and their song “Vergiss mein Nicht” (#5, “Forget-me-not”) climbed up one spot and prevented Taylor Swift to reach another Top 5 song.

But forbearance is not acquittance. While “New romantics” (#6) failed to reach the Top 5 it climbed up two spots which is the most notable climb within the Top 10. All others are droppers except one song. Behind Taylor Swift is former #1 “Eureka” (#7) by Leslie Clio which brings her up to two Top 10 hits this week. Nothing new for her, but it is worth to mention. Taylor Swift also has two songs in this week’s Top 10. For “Wildest dreams” (#8) the downwards trend is holding on. This song is in its 13th week on chart so that she will deal with it. The last up-climbing song in the Top 10 is “Nur ein Lied” (#9, “Just a song”) by Alex Diehl. The Top 10 is closed with “The first time” (#10) by Madi Diaz.

Outside the Top 10 you will find some notable climbers. Let’s start with this week's greatest gainer. German DJ’s Max + Johan worked with singer Vincent Malin. Their song “Wenn du schläfst” (#28, “While you’re sleeping”) sprinted up the chart with a climb of 33 spots. “Wenn du schläfst” is a beautiful song about the fear for losing the girl after they spent the first night together. Then there is “Monster lead me home” (#19) by Sara Hartman. The US-singer is living in Berlin at the moment and this is her first official single. In this song she is describing her feelings leaving NY for Berlin. It is a wonderful song and should gain more attention. And I shouldn’t to forget about another German love song. Berlin based duo 48 Stunden released their non-album single “Septembermorgen” (#18, “September morning”) and it seems that they have the hang on it. With a climb of 11 spots they can celebrate their first hit in the Top 20.

Beside these major climbers this week had been calm. Only five songs entered my chart and the highest is in at #42. It is by Tove Lo. Finally her latest single “Moments” got its debut on my chart. Following my chart you’ll know that she had several hits in my Top 20 from her “Queen of the clouds” album and “Moments” should also do well. “Moments” hadn’t been her only debut this week. Two more songs from this album are also giving their debut. Scrolling down you will find “The way that I am” (#57) and “Got love” (#58). Caught between the debuts by Tove Lo is Selena Gomez. I recently mentioned in the year-end review that I finally bought her album “Revival”. I really like the style of this album, although there are some weaker songs on it. “Hands to myself” (#46) is a good song and we all will find out how fast I will got over this song, because this song is different to her others on this album in the style and the way she is singing here. The last but not least debut is by Lauren Alaina. “Next boyfriend” reached a spot in the Top 50 and left this week. Certainly she returned with her new one “History” (#95).
