Week 300 – November 26th, 2016

It is done. This is the 300th edition of my chart. Back in March 2011 (Wow it’s nearly six years!) I re-opened my chart with an Austrian #1. Any Major Dude had the first and only #1 with “July July” which peaked at #1 for four weeks. They had only one other chart appearance before they disbanded. 116 #1’s followed “July July”. The longest lasting #1 had been “Receive” by Alanis Morissette. “Receive” spent 10 weeks at the top in two runs back in 2012/13. Emma’s “L’amore non me basta” (“Love isn’t enough”) has the record with the longest strike at the #1 with 9 consecutive weeks. In comparison resent #1 “If I knew” by Anouk spent 8 weeks at the top. For her it had been the 12th #1 before “Not a lovesong” followed. So far only one live song topped my chart. And of course it is a song from Anouk. With this 300th edition 3476 songs got their debut on my chart. These songs are by 2122 different artists.

This short chart history leads us to this week’s edition. After a quicker last week’s edition this week is quite calm. Nearly every song within the Top 10 didn’t move. The only movers in this part of my chart are new additions to this part. Last week “Not a lovesong” (#1) took over and this week it got its 2nd week at the top. Still in the runner’s up position is “Not my baby” (#3). The hat trick completing is “If I knew” (#3). So since 9 weeks, and there is no end in sight, Anouk is topping my chart with three songs from her “Queen for a day” album. With this album she teaches the other artist the fear. What should I say? These aren’t the last songs from this beautiful album. Five songs from “Queen for a day” are still waiting for their debut. So hold on tight this domination could last even longer than you expected. One more song by Anouk is in the Top 5. “Wanna little something” (#5) is closing the Top 5. Still caught in middle is Selena Gomez. “Sober” (#4) is the best of the rest.

Since several weeks Nicole Cross is knocking at the door to the Top 5, but “Awesome” failed to do this final step. In my eyes this song has passed its zenith. Therefore “Awesome” won’t peak better than #6. Leslie Clio who dominated back in 2015 and in early 2016 is failing the break Anouk’s domination. This means that the wonderful “Remedy” (#7) won’t reach the Top 5, but hey there is a minimal chance for her to prove me wrong. The last non-mover in the Top 10 is Danish song “Tordenkys” (#8, “Thunder kiss”) by Maia. The first addition to this week’s Top 10 is Shinedown’s “How did you love” (#9). For this band it is their 1st Top 10 hit. The 2nd new one is “Nostalgic” (#10) by Kelly Clarkson. “Nostalgic” is her 16th Top 10 hit since I re-started charting.

The greatest gainer of the week is once again Coin with “Talk too much” (#16). I’m not known for speaking too much, but I absolutely love this song and its theme. And as I wrote last week I’m singing along very often this particular song. After sprinting up the chart in the last two weeks there is a big chance to find Coin in the Top 10 by next week. The highest debut is a cover song. In the middle of the 1990’s a band from the Netherlands called Total touch with leading singer Trijntje Oosterhuis released “Somebody else’s lover” which was a big hit there. Now Juliette Claire, a singer from the Netherlands, released an EDM cover of this hit. As I didn’t know the original song before I listened to it this week I’ve to point out that I really like this cover version and the original, but I prefer the Juliette Claire's cover.

The 2nd highest new entry is from the TV series “Nashville”. Finally I got the chance to see the 3rd season of this show via Amazon prime. I already thought that I couldn't watch the 3rd season this year, because it took so long before Amazon or Netflix released this show. By the way I’ve the 1st season on DVD and I watched the 2nd season on Netflix. Unfortunately there is no DVD release planed for these seasons in Germany and Austria, but back to the topic. The new entry from episode one in this 3rd season is Chris Carmack with “If it’s love” (#53). As in the past years other new songs from this show will follow in the next weeks.

Other debuts are “Empire” (#60) by 77 Bombay Street, “Libre” (#61, “Free”) by Álvaro Soler feat. Emma, “Stay with me” (#92) by Gotthard and “Es braucht Zeit” (#99, “It takes time”) by Marie Bothmer.
