Week 273 – May 21st, 2016

With deep emotional lyrics German act Luxuslärm and singer Max Mutzke are convincing me since several weeks. Now they are #1 for a fifth week in a row with “Bis es weh tut” (#1, “Until it hurts”). This year only one other song also reached the five week mark which had been Leslie Clio’s “Damage done” (#13). Leslie Clio on the other hand is sticking around at the runner’s up position. “Changes” (#2) can be found in this position for third week in a row. I’m still sure that “Changes” could reach my #1 spot, but with Austrian Christina Stürmer there is a fresh and new sound behind her. Christina’s “Seite an Seite (#3, “Side by side”) did the next step with a climb of two spots. So the podium sees now two songs in German and an English one interpreted by a German artist caught in the middle. Swedish act Peter Bjorn & John hold their spot with “What you talking about?” (#4) and former #1 “Make me like you” (#5) by Gwen Stefani dropped two spots.

The 2nd part of the Top 10 starts with a position change. Carrie Underwood’s “Church bells” (#6) climbed up one while “Cheap thrills” (#7) by Sia feat. Sean Paul dropped one. Behind these two songs the only new song in my Top 10 can be found. It is by Kelly Clarkson. Her not yet official single “Let your tears fall” (#8) sprinted up the chart and landed directly in the Top 10 in its 8th week on chart. At the bottom of the Top 10 are Tyler Shaw’s “Wicked” (#9) and Adele’s former #1 “When we were young” (#10).

After some weeks of new entry debuts in the lower section of my chart there is a debut in the Top 30. This highest debut is by Adele. Her 3rd single from “25” is “Send my love (to your new lover)” (#68), but this one isn’t the one I mean although it gave its debut this week. It is “Water under the bridge” (#28) which is one of my favourites from “25”. “Water under the bridge” has more tempo than her previous singles and for me this song is at the same level as “I’ll be waiting” from “21” which had been a #1 for me back in 2011. #28 is a solid start, but I expect more from this particular song and maybe “Water under the bridge” will reach my Top 10 soon.

Beside Adele’s “Water under the bridge” there is a 2nd song which got its debut in the Top 50. It is Elle King’s third single from “Love stuff”. “America’s sweetheart” is a nice pop song with country pop/rock impact. This one could be my favourite by her and it could outperform her biggest hit on my chart “Playing for keeps” which peaked at #15 in December 2012. The start was a little bit mildly. On the other had it is giving this song a lot of space for persuade in the later run.

Other debuts are “Il paradiso non esiste” (#66, “Paradise doesn’t exist”), “How to love” (#67) by Cash Cash feat. Sofia Reyes, “Shut the lights” (#69) by We Are Magnetic, “Anchor” (#70) by Cailee Rae, “Dear life” (#79) by Delta Goodrem and “Losing the love” (#80) by Tini.
