Week 320 – April 15th, 2017

Shake and quiver, little tree, give my chart a new #1.The prayers were heard. Once again I can celebrate a new #1. This time the international folk band Mighty Oaks from Germany took over with their beautiful “Be with you always” (#1). “Be with you always” is the bands first chart hit and now their first #1 hit on my chart. Last week’s #1 “Shape of you” (#2) by Ed Sheeran dropped one spot and is now in the runner’s up position. Up to new peaks are Cold War Kids. For the first time in their history they reached a spot in my Top 3. “Love is mystical” (#3) climbed up one spot and isn’t the bands only song in this week’s edition, but more of this later. Also up is “Machine” (#4). For MisterWives this climb means that they equal their previous chart peak record with “No need for dreaming”. Looking over my Top 4 at this particular moment shows that there are three bands in my Top 4. This is the first time since re-starting that bands are dominating my chart. The Top 5 is rounded out with the first single from Leslie Clio’s album “Purple”. Her song “Darkness is a filler” (#5) climbed up two spots.

Last week at #9 and this week at #6 is GJan with her song “Wasn’t easy”. In its 3rd week on chart “Wasn’t easy” is knocking heavily at the door to the Top 5. GJan’s song can be found in front of only two songs by Anouk in this week’s Top 10. Her highest ranked song is still “We are” (#7) followed by “Castles in the air” (#8). Directly behind you can find the highest debut. For the first in time in a while there is a Top 10 debut. And who else could it be than an artist from my chart domination fraction? No it isn’t by Anouk. It is the 2nd official single from Leslie Clio. With another break up anthem she is returning very strong in my Top 10. While “Darkness is a filler” is on its way into my Top 3 “And I’m leaving” (#9) could be her next #1 on my chart. The last but not least song in my Top 10 is “Love” (#10). “Love” is the Top 10 return for Lana Del Rey after a very long break.

This week four songs made their debut within in my Top 5. While “And I’m leaving” is starting its chart run in my Top 10 you’ve to look down the chart to find the 2nd highest debut which is by Cold War Kids. Their 2nd single “Can we hang on?” (#39) got a solid debut. Sure a debut at #39 isn’t as good as a Top 10 debut, but look at “Love is mystical”. This song finally entered the Top 3 and I’m absolutely sure that “Can we hang on?” could do as well as the bands top song at the moment.

One spot behind “Can we hang on?” US Christian rock band Needtobreathe placed their first song on my chart since August 2012. Back in August 2012 their song “Keep your eyes open” had moderate success with a peak at #57. The bands biggest hit for me is so far “Something beautiful” which I discovered at the end of the summer 2010 and about a half year before I re-started charting. Since these days Needtobreathe hasn’t had a comparable hit in my eyes. Until to this week when their latest single “Hard love” (#40) got is debut. Officially “Hard love” had been released as a single back in 2016 which I hadn’t checked out. Now they released “Hard love” again and they are featuring US singer Andra Day who had one chart hit with “Rise up” (peak at #92) back in 2015. For both “Hard love” is their biggest hit on my chart until today.

The 4th highest debut is by US singer Michelle Branch. She now has two songs on my chart. The first single “Hopeless romantic” (#44) from the album of the same name failed to enter my Top 40 until now. With this edition her 2nd official single from this album “Best you ever” (#50) debuted. For some kind of reasons I think that this song will do better on my chart than “Hopeless romantic”. It is definitely nice to have her back on my chart, although both songs can’t be compared with her old material.

Other debuts are “Be who you are” (#63) by The Kooks, “Know love” (#88) by Wild Culture feat. Chu, “Drive” (#89) by Glades, “Physical” (#90) by The Aces, “Never enough” (#92) by Scavenger Hunt and “Finish line” (#98) by Jade Jackson.
