Week 289 – September 10th, 2016

50 % of the songs in my Top aren’t in English and the majority of these songs are in Korean. Although they build the bulk only one of these K-Pop songs can be found in the Top 5. Since last week JoJo and Wiz Khalifa are topping my chart with their new hit “F*ck apologies” (#1). Now they are celebrating their 2nd week at the top by blocking Anouk. Her former #1 hit “Wanna little something” (#2) is still fighting for having a comeback at the top, but it will be hard. The reason why it will be tough for Anouk returning at the top is Miriam Bryant’s “Black car” (#3). This song is in its 9th week on chart and is still among my most played songs and I personally think that this song would be a perfect #1. In the meanwhile Emma has to stay at #4 with “Facciamola più semplice” (Make it easier”). The Top 5 is closed with K-Pop club banger “How’s this” (#5) by Hyuna.

There hadn’t been a lot of action in my Top 5. While this was a week without a spot change in this part of my chart in the lower section of the Top 10 only one song hold its spot. Last week Aura Dione reached the Top 10 for the first time in her career. This week “Love somebody” (#6) climbed up three spots. Aura Dione pushed Taeyeon’s “Why” back to #7. Also Austrian singer and radio moderator Julian Le Play dropped one with “Du schmeckst nach Sommer” (#8, “You taste like summer”). Behind these two droppers the only new edition to my Top 10 can be found. It is an album cut of Kelly Clarkson’s album “Piece by piece”. “War paint” (#9) did well this week with a climb of three spots. The Top 10 is rounded out with another K-Pop song. This time it is Stellar’s “Crying” (#10).

In general it had been a calmer week. The greatest gainer of the week is the country gem “Untamed” (#39) by Cam which climbed up 15 spots. Writing about country leads my to this week’s highest new entry. It is by Racheal Lynn Woodward who is better known under her stage name RaeLynn. Since her participation in the US version of The Voice she had some minor country hits which all failed to get my attention. With her latest single “Love triangle” (#60) she got her 1st chart appearance. In this song she is describing her experience with the divorce of her parents. “Love triangle” is a deep emotional song I absolutely like although I’ve no personal experience with the divorce of parents.

The 2nd best new entry is “Side to side” (#77). This song is by Ariana Grande and Nick Minaj who is featured on this track. On my chart Ariana Grande is undergoing a tough time since she released her 3rd album “Dangerous woman”. “Focus” peaked #57, “Dangerous woman” failed to enter my chart and “Into you” was the best single release out of this album with a peak at #23. These songs are far away from her Top 10 hits she had from her previous album. “Side to side” is a nice song with a reggae influenced sound. It is nothing you would have expected from her and maybe this song will help her to return to the higher spots on my chart.

Other debuts are “Lovers in the dark” (#78) and “I miss you” (#91) by Adele, “So schön is die Zeit” (#81, “So beautiful is the time”) by Michelle, “Drunk at a bar” (#84) by Nestor AnDress, “Just wanna belong” (#85) by Favorite Child with the uncredited singer Erik Rapp, “Keine Maschine” (#90, “No machine”) by Tim Bendzko, “Das Geschenk” (#95, “The gift”), “Blame it on my heart” (#96) by Karmin and “I’m not afraid” (#100) by Angela Zhang.
