Week 305 – December 31st, 2016

With the New Year’s Eve edition the 2016 chart year ends. Last week Kelly Clarkson conquered the #1 spot with “Nostalgic” (#1) which she defended. For a 2nd time US band Coin are in the runner’s up position, but I think they are ready for take over by next week. The next three songs are all be Anouk. Back into the Top 3 is her monster hit “If I knew” (#3) with a climb of one spot. “Not a lovesong” (#4) is the non-mover of the Anouk songs and “Be my baby” (#5) dropped two spots.

These five songs are followed by Carrie Underwood. Her song about “Dirty laundry” (#6) climbed up two spots and pushed German act Glasperlenspiel back with their song “Für immer” (#7, “For always”). Also up is Kate Voegele. Her first single “Wild & Free” (#8) out of her album “Canyonland” climbed up one spot. In its 4th week on chart Shannon LaBrie’s song “Alcohol” (#9) got its Top 10 debut. For her it is also the first Top 10 hit on my chart. As “Alcohol” is the “youngest” song in the Top 10 it could be the one which is climbing into the Top 5 by next week at least. The Top 10 is rounded out with Austrian band Tagtraeumer. Their song “Laufen” (#10, “Run”) is holding its position for another week.

This week’s greatest gainer is “Sick love” (#43) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their first releases disappointed me, but this one is on its way up and maybe we can find “Sick Love” in my Top 20 in a few weeks. In general this week is low on highlights. The highest new entry can be found outside the Top 50. It is by The Veronicas. “In my blood” left my chart this week, but they returned with their new one “On your side” (#57). Hopefully this song will do as well as “In my blood”.

Other debuts are “Start a riot” (#81) by Banners, “Borrow my heart” (#83) by Jonathan Jackson, Sam Palladio & Clare Bowen, “The Boy next door” (#84) by Jodie Sweetin, “How” (#85), “Kitchen breeze” (#86) and “Wine & vinegar” (#87) by The Wild Feathers, “Sleep on the floor” (#91) by The Lumineers, “High hope” (#96) by Glen Hansard and “You can’t stop me” (#98) by Laura Benanti.
