Week 365 – February 23rd, 2018

Week 365 – February 23^rd, 2018

After a three weeks run at the top Kate Voegele had to leave with “Shoot this arrow” (#3). She cleared the way for Luke Sital-Singh who is now leading my chart with two of his songs from “Time is a riddle”. New at #1 is “Still” which absolutely deserves to be a #1 song which also counts for “Killing me” (#2). Generally it had been a tough decision between this two songs and the better end for “Still”. The Luke Sital-Singh double pack at the top is followed by a Kate Voegele double pack. “Shoot this arrow” is followed by “Bad bad drug” (#4). The Top 5 is rounded out with Kylie Minogue’s new hit “Dancing” (#5).

Next in line are two more non-movers. First to mention is former #1 “Dream” (#6) by Bishop Briggs. The other one is “Haarspray” (#7, “Hair spray”) by German band Jennifer Rostock. Then there are two new songs in my Top 10. Up three spots is another song by Kate Voegele. Last week “Crooked road” (#8) just missed the Top 10 by one spot, but this week “Crooked road” is completing a Kate Voegele triple in this part of my chart. The other Top 10 newbie is “Alles sind wir” (#9, “Everything are we”) by Austrian Tagtraeumer. On its way out is “Chasing this” (#10) by MisterWives.

There are 11 new songs in my chart this week. The highest new entry is the actual single by Kelly Clarkson. Finally I bought her new album last week and so this new entry can’t be a surprise. “I don’t think about you” (#44) is surely an album highlight although this debut doesn’t seem very good. Sure a debut outside the Top 40 isn’t really a good debut for Kelly Clarkson, but on the other hand nearly every 2nd song in the Top 40 is more or less than 10 weeks on my chart so that “I don’t think about you” should reach my Top 10 in a very short time. The 2nd best new entry debuts directly behind “I don’t think about you”. It is a cover song which had been released back in 2015. I recently heard this cover version on a German TV series and absolutely fell in love with this version of this song. It is an interpretation of the 1986/87 hit “Wonderful life” by Black. The cover version of “Wonderful life” (#45) by Georgian-British singer Katie Melua failed to enter the charts, but now it reached at Top 50 debut with a great outlook on my chart. Several spots behind these debuts you can find the greatest gainer of the week which is “Wild hearts can’t be broken” (#62) by Pink.

Other debuts are “End game” (#83) by Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheeran & Future, “Futon couch” (#84) by Missy Higgins, “Not tonight” (#85) and “In repair” (#86) by Jillette Johnson, “Think about you” (#87) by Delta Goodrem, “All I am” (#88) by Simon Lewis, “New Year’s day” (#91) by Taylor Swift, “Sleep deprive” (#99) by LÉON and “God bless this mess” (#100) by Jillian Jacqueline.
