Week 302 – December 10th, 2016

The slow start into the December editions is followed by one with a fast forward button. Now I really believe that Anouk is dominating until the end of the year, but there are Leslie Clio and Kelly Clarkson who are blowing up into the Top 5. Anouk replaced herself at the top with “Be my baby” (#1). Last week’s chart topping hit “Not a lovesong” (#2) dropped one spot. The Anouk dripple is continued with “If I knew” (#3) at the podium. Now are following two new songs within the Top 5. You’re reading right. No 4th song by Anouk within the Top 5. This I call sensation after the last months. Leslie Clio’s “My remedy” (#4) climbed up two spots and Kelly Clarkson climbed up four spots with “Nostalgic” (#5).

But where is Selena Gomez who had an abonnement for #4? “Sober” (#6) dropped two spots and is now opening the 2nd half of my Top 10. Also down two spots in its 19th week within the Top 10 is “Wanna little something” (#7). So Anouk still has four songs within the Top 10. Next in line is Carly Rae Jepsen. “First time” (#8) isn’t her first time in the Top 10, but the first time in a while. The Top 10 is closed without girl power in this edition. For the first time (the 4th time I’m writing it in the last three sentences) US band Coin reached the Top 10. “Talk too much” (#9) has done very well over the last weeks and now the door is wide open. The Top 10 is rounded out with Shinedown’s “How did you love?” (#10).

The fast forward button is pushed this week with more than 20 new entries. The highest one is a little bit older. A year ago Nashville based singer/songwriter Shannon LaBrie released her single “Alcohol” (#23) from her album “War & piece”. The official video for this single has been released a half year ago. The Rolling Stone described in September “Alcohol” ”as a dark and stormy piano ballad about addiction, love, and the perilous way in which those two things sometimes intersect.” I love the first line of the song where she sings “There's lots of things he can't control. Like loving me, and alcohol” And now “Alcohol” found its way into my chart. Sure this song is out of the country scene, but for me “Alcohol” has the vibe of the early Lana Del Rey, especially “Video games” which hit #1 on my chart exactly five years ago. It will be interesting to see if this song could do as well as “Video games”.

Last week the girl band TP4Y debuted outside the Top 50. This week they are the greatest gainer of the week with “Blush” (#45). The greatest gainer is caught between the new entries, but the next series starts outside the Top 60 with a kind of a retro pop song. The band Fly By Midnight had released several covers so far. “Vinyl” (#63) is their debut single and leading a bunch of new entries in this edition. I like this pop song and the future outlook is good. The next new one is by Red Hot Chili Peppers. “Sick love” (#64) is the 3rd single out of their latest album “The Getaway”. While the first two singles failed to impress me “Sick love” is doing ways better and got a solid debut. By the way Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of a handful acts who debut this week and had at least one chart entry before.

Other debuts are “Missing” (#65) by Victor Perry, “Brothers” (#66) by Saxity feat. Strøm, “Body“ (#67) by Atom Tree, “Good love” (#68) by Aubrey Peeples, “Außerhalb der Zeit” (#69, “Outside the time”) by Bosse, “My hands (Truth x Lies Remix)” (#82) by Ayer, “Back in the summer” (#83) by Möwe feat. Cleah, “We belong” (#86) by Def Leppard, “Illinois sky” (#87) by Michigan Rattlers, “Make you stay” (#88) by The Girl and The Dreamcatcher, “Hurricane” (#89) by Luke Comb, “Cartwheels” (#90) by Ward Thomas, “That could be us” (#91) by Brandon Ray, “Prime” (#92) by Jillian Jacqueline, “Phoenix” (#95) by Olivia Holt, “Grand Canyon” (#96) by The Wind and The Wave, “Be like you” (#97) by CVBZ, “Lies” (#99) by Jesper Jenset and “Healed by Metal” (#100) by Grave Digger.
