Week 324 – May 13th, 2017

The fast changes on my top spot are continuing. This week another solo male artist took over. German singer Wincent Weiss got his first #1 with “Nur einen Herzschlag entfernt” (“Only a heartbeat away”). Wincent Weiss is the 2nd solo male artist with a #1 on my chart in 2017 and the first from Germany since Cro reached #1 with “Bye bye” in September 2015. “Wasn’t easy” (#2) only spent two weeks at the top, but GJan is still among my top songs. Maybe she is going back up in the future, but I know my chart and this is a rare event and so I doubt that she will return to #1 with “Wasn’t easy”. Still at #3 is “And I’m leaving” by Leslie Clio. Next week she will finally release her new album “Purple”. This should give “And I’m leaving” the next push in the direction to my #1. The other non mover in my Top 5 is “Be with you always” (#4) by Mighty Oaks. This folk pop song should definitely get more attention, but I’m charting this song since 13 weeks and there is still no chart appearance in Germany, Switzerland and Austria in sight.

In this edition of my chart you can find two new songs in my Top 10. The highest one of these two songs is by Canadian singer Shawn Mendes. Last week “There’s nothing holdin’ me back” (#5) had been at #18. This week his latest single sprinted up 13 spots. Therefore he got his first Top 10 hit on my chart and his first Top 5 hit too. “There’s nothing holdin’ me back” is pretty catchy and it is definitely his best song so far. As I’m normally not into songs interpreted by male artists it is a complement for Shawn Mendes that I believe that he could reach #1. The other Top 10 debut goes to Needtobreathe and Andra Day. Their single “Hard love” (#9) climbed up four spots and brings them their Top 10 debut.

Last week “Flame” (#6) by Tinashe knocked at the door to my Top 5, but until now I refused the entry. I really like this song, but in my eyes the songs in my Top 5 are a little bit too strong for this song at the moment. “Flame” is followed by “Ist da jemand” (#7, “Is someone there”). Adel Tawil is doing well with this thought-provoking song. Down three spots is “Darkness is a filler” (#8) by Leslie Clio. I doubt that “Darkness is a filler” is getting the same push as “And I’m leaving” when this album gets released, but this song is still good. And last but not least to mention is that Ed Sheeran is still in the Top 10 with “Shape of you” (#10).

The greatest gainer of the week is “Hard times” (#32) by Paramore. “Hard times” climbed up 17 spots and can now be found in my Top 40. This song isn’t the only song by them which I’m charting right now. Their 2nd single “Told you so” (#77) from their new album “After laughter” got its debut with this edition. I’m expecting a lot from “Told you so” and I hope that this song will meet my expectations, but as always I’ll be foxier in the future. “Told you so” brings me to this week’s debuts. There are ten new songs on my chart. The highest debut is by country singer Maren Morris. Actually she has a big crossover hit with “Craving you” (#31). Here she is only featured, but with “I could use a love song” (#62) she is returning as a solo artist. So far I charted “My church” (peaked #94) and “80’s Mercedes” (peaked at #31) from her. “I could use a love song” has the potential to outperform these songs and should soon seen in my Top 50.

Other debuts are “Galway girl” (#84) by Ed Sheeran, “Want you back” (#86) by Haim, “Getting over you” (#89) by Jackie Lee, “Kiss me” (#91) by Drew Jacobs, “Reasons” (#92) by Jillian Jacqueline, “Dear daughter” (#96) by Halestorm, “Goodbye angels” (#99) by Red Hot Chili Peppers, “Mit dir” (#100, "With you") by Solarkreis.
