Week 367 – March 10th, 2018

This weekend I’m celebrating the 7th birthday of my chart. The first #1 had been “July July” by Austrian band Any Major Dude. Seven years later this band had disbanded, but a real superstar took over my chart. After a two week reign by Luke Sital-Singh it was time for Kylie Minogue to get her 1st #1 on my chart. “Dancing” did the last step with a 1 spot climb. Up two spots is “Bad bad drug” (#2) by Kate Voegele. So much is betrayed that last week’s Kate Voegele triple is blown up with this climb. Last week at #1 this week at #3 is “Killing me” by Luke Sital-Singh. His other Top 10 smash “Still” (#4) is one spot behind. Closing the Top 5 is Kate Voegele with her former #1 “Shoot this arrow” (#5).

The 2nd half of the Top 10 is opened with the third Kate Voegele song. “Crooked road” (#6) is rather stable with a neither climb nor drop week. Norwegian Sigrid climbed up two spots with her recent hit “Strangers” (#7). She is followed by the first of two new songs in my Top 10. Last week I speculated about songs which could end in my Top 10. This week two of these songs really reached this part and the first one is “The middle” (#8) by Zedd & Maren Morris feat. Grey. The other one is “Hurt somebody” (#10) by Noah Kahan & Julia Michaels. Caught between these songs is “Alles sind wird” (#9, “Everything are we”) by Tagtraeumer.

This week sees 12 new entries. The highest new entry is by a core artist whose last album was a little bit of a disappointment. Italian Emma recently released her 5th album “Essere qui” (“To be here”). Her first single had been “L’isola” (#13, “The island”) which is now near the Top 10 in its 9th week on chart. This week her 2nd single “Effetto domino” (#33, “Domino effect”) debuts. “Effetto domino” is a very good single choice from my point of view. It is a nice song with a remarkable sound and a catchy refrain. This song maybe marks a big Top 10 return for her, because of the fact that I recently bought this new album (which is now my fourth from her) which is definitely better than “Adesso” (“Now”). In the course of this purchase I also bought another album in Italian which is “Bye bye” by Annalisa. Her latest single “Il mondo prima di te” (#80, “The world before you”) debuted last week and climbed ten spots this week.

The 2nd highest debut is by another core artist. Over the last two weeks “Wild hearts can’t be broken” (#32) had been the greatest gainer of the week. This week the greatest gainer is “I don’t think about you” (#23) by Kelly Clarkson. But back to the 2nd highest debut which is by Pink. After “Beautiful trauma” (#18) failed to reach the top spots on the international charts Pink now released “Whatever you want” (#41) as a regular single. I definitely like this song and I hope that “Whatever you want” and “Wild hearts can’t be broken” will reach my Top 10. “Whatever you want” is followed by another debut. British DJ Sigala returns with singer Paloma Faith. Their latest song “Lullaby” (#42) has everything which I think a hit needs and so you shouldn't wonder if this song will end in my Top 20 at least.

Other debuts are “Immer noch fühlen” (#55, “Still feeling”) by Revolverheld, “When we were us” (#56) by Bon Jovi, “In and out” (#57) and “Aquarius” (#90) by Leslie Clio, “No excuses” (#86) by Meghan Trainor, “Tequila” (#88) by Dan + Shay, “Tetris” (#96) by Madilyn Bailey, “Himmel voller Geigen” (#97, “Sky full of violins”) by Matthias Reim and “Tausend und eine Nacht” (#98, “Thousand and one night”) by German schlager band Lichtblick.
