Week 299 – November 19th, 2016

One week to go and I can celebrate the 300th edition of my chart. What a long time, but back to this week’s edition. After an eight week strike at the Top “If I knew” (#3) has to renounce the throne of my chart with a drop of two spots. I think that it was time to let this sad song go. On the other had will this stop the domination by Anouk? The answer is still no. The song in the waiting position “Not a lovesong” (#1) reacted with a one spot climb to #1 and because “Be my baby” (#2) also climbed up you still can find an Anouk triple reigning. Once more “Sober” (#4) – the hidden #1 – by Selena Gomez is holding its spot between the Anouk song. Anouk’s last but not least song in the Top 5 is once again “Wanna little something”. Since months Anouk is dominating, but will this lead to a year-end chart written Anouk all over it? The answer will be given in a few weeks.

Nicole Cross tried again to reach the Top 5 with “Awesome” (#6), but failed. Behind this song is “Remedy” (#7) by Leslie Clio which climbed up one spot. Two spots up is Danish song “Tordenkys” (#8, “Thunder kiss”) by Maia. The other two songs in this part of my Top 10 are droppers. First to mention is Adele’s “Love in the dark” (#9) with a drop of two spots. Then there is former Spice Girl Melanie C with “Anymore” (#10) which dropped one spot.

Outside the Top 10 two songs are still waiting for reaching this part. In a very good position since several weeks is “How did you love?” (#11) by Shinedown. And then there is “Nostalgic” (#12) by Kelly Clarkson. Both songs should be the first choices if there is a change in the Top 10. On the other hand you should not forget about German band Glasperlenspiel. Their latest single “Für immer” (#16, “For always”) isn’t far behind and as it is the bands most successful song on my chart a Top 10 entry is absolutely reachable. Also doing well is Carly Rae Jepsen. “First time” (#17) climbed up three spots and is now among the contenders.

Before I write some short notes about this week’s highest new entry I’ve to point out that US indie pop band Coin is rocking this week’s edition with their 2nd single “Talk too much” (#42). With a climb of 37 spots it reached the Top 50 in its 3rd week on chart. This week I caught myself singing this song along when I drove to work. Thank god nobody else was in the car, so that no one noticed my false singing. I love the catchy refrain and so I think “Talk too much” will reach my Top 20 very soon.

So enough about the greatest gainer of the week and let’s have closer look at the highest new entry. This week only four songs gave their debut and two of these songs are album cuts of Selena Gomez album “Revival”. The highest debut is “Surviviors” (#79) followed by “Body heat” (#80). Both songs are no “Sober” (#4) or “My heart wants what it wants”, but as her other songs were at least Top 30 hits these two songs should also climb up. The other new songs are “I would like” (#94) by Zara Larsson and “Paradise” (#95) by Hyolyn.
