Week 322 – April 29th, 2017

Do you remember episode 5 of the 6th season from “How I meet your mother” when Barney insists “New is always better”? Gone are the days when Anouk dominated my chart with four songs from her album “Queen for a day”. Now for the first time in a while a song under seven weeks on my chart took over. It is a song from the young Lithuanian singer GJan. Her song about the ending of a love and how hard it is to go separate ways when there is some rest of love reached my #1 for the first time in its 5th week on chart. “Wasn’t easy” (#1) is also the first #1 for GJan. This song is followed by last week’s #1 “Be with you always” (#2) by Mighty Oaks. There are a lot of differences between these two songs as the general sound (Folk vs. Dance) or the theme (falling in love vs. break-up). New in the Top 3 is another fresh and young song from German singer Wincent Weiss. Last week he debuted in my Top 10 with “Nur ein Herzschlag entfernt” (#3, “Only a heartbeat away”). This week Wincent Weiss reached his first Top 3 hit with his first chart appearance. Holding its spot is “Darkness is a filler” (#4) by Leslie Clio. This is her first of two appearances in my Top 5, because “And I’m leaving” (#5) climbed up two spots.

Outside the Top 5 you’ll find last week’s #2 and #3. For Cold War Kids and MisterWives their upward trend is over and so “Love is mystical” (#6) and “Machine” (#7) are now on their way out of the Top 10. Although dropping two spots “Shape of you” (#8) is fighting for a spot in the Top 10. Next in line for a debut is “Galaway girl”, but here I’m not sure when this song is going for its debut. I personally hope that “Perfect girl” will be a future single. The last but not least two spots in my Top 10 are going to new songs. First to mention is Carrie Underwood. Her latest Top 10 hit is “Relapse” (#9). The next one is “Flame” (#10) by US singer Tinashe. For her “Flame” is her first Top 10 hit.

Two weeks in a row I had debuts in my Top 10. This week the highest debut only can be found outside the Top 30. It is a song by Shawn Mendes. “There’s nothing holdin’ me back” (#36) could easily be his highest charting hit on my chart. So far he had two hits on my chart which are “Stitches” (peak at #42) and “Treat you better” (peak at #33). I really like “There’s nothing holdin’ me back” which is very catchy. Looking over my chart there you can see that most of the songs in my Top 30 are a little bit older. So the chance is high that Shawn Mendes is grabbing his first Top 10 hit with this song.

Shawn Mendes top debut is framed by two songs which are awarded the greatest gainer of the week. These songs climbed up 15 spots. These are “Higher” (#31) by Carly Rae Jepsen and “Village” (#44) by Cam. The next three debuts can be found outside the Top 60. The highest of these songs is the new one by Charlie Puth. “Attention” (#61) is definitely his highest charting song on my chart and should easily reach my Top 50 at least. Charlie Puth is followed by British act Hurts. Their latest song “Beautiful ones” (#62) is also a sure shot for my Top 50. Then there is Shawn Hook. He had a two hits before with “Relapse” (peaked at #19) as his biggest hit. This week he debuts “Reminding me” (#63) where he’s featuring Vanessa Hudgens. For her “Reminding me” is her first chart appearance.

Other debuts are “All I ask” (#81), “Million years ago” (#82) and “Sweetest devotion” (#83) b Adele, “Wunderkerzenmenschen” (#87, “Sparklers people”), “Paint this land” (#99) by Busby Marou and “Say no more” (#100) by Forget Tomorrow.
