Week 272 – May 14th, 2016

Since several weeks German band Luxuslärm and German singer Max Mutzke are shining bright from the top of my chart. This week is no exception. For the fourth time “Bis es weh tut” (#1, “Until it hurts”) is my favourite song of the week. They keep “Changes” (#2) by Leslie Clio at bay. “Changes” is a very good song from a very strong album and would absolutely deserve to be #1, but “Bis es weh tut” is a little more emotional and it is possible that this song will surpass the six week mark at the top. The last spot at the podium goes to Gwen Stefani. Her 2nd single “Make me like you” (#3) from her solo album is now among the longest charting Top 10 hit, but it is hard for her to hold a spot in the Top 3 because of the concurrence. So Peter Bjorn & John with “What you talking about?” (#4) and Christina Stürmer with “Seite an Seite” (#5, “Side by side”) are fighting for Gwen Stefani’s spot.

After five weeks in the Top 5 Sia and Sean Paul had to leave with “Cheap thrills” (#5). It is still a good song, but it is struggling a little bit at the moment. Next in line is country star Carrie Underwood. With one of her current singles she is climbing up & up. “Church bells” (#7) is a very interesting song with a good hook line and a very interesting story. Is this a song for #1 in the future? First of all Carrie Underwood had a #1 on my chart back in 2012 with “Good girl” which ended as #3 in my year end review. So she has a real chance for reaching the top spot for a 2nd chance although you can’t really compare these songs. Second I really think this particular song is one of the best songs of her latest album “Storyteller” and I love this dark lyris. So why not give this the last push in the next weeks? For the next two songs in my Top 10 it is going down. Former #1 “When we were young” (#8) by Adele dropped two spots and “Make my love go” (#9) by Jay Sean feat. Sean Paul dropped one. Last but not least to mention is the new #10. Finally Canadian singer Tyler Shaw grapped his first Top 10 hit with “Wicked” (#10).

As last week edition #272 is a very calm edition. There are only nine new entries and for a 2nd time in a row the highest debut can be found outside the Top 60. Last week US alternative act MisterWives had the top two debuts with album cuts from “Our own house”. This week US star Taylor Swift has the top two debuts with album cuts from “1989”. The highest debut is “Clean” (#73) followed by “I know places” (#74). These are the last two debuts from “1989” because of the fact that I’ve know charted all songs from this album. Other debuts are “Running towards the tide” (#89) by Team Panda, “Pretty little liar” (#94) by My, “Arms of another” (#96) by Marsicans, “Native” (#97) by KYKO, “Your heart is a weapon” (#98) by Pop Etc, “Sophia” (#99) by Van Damsel and “Don’t save me” (#100) by Native People.
