Week 370 – March 31st, 2018

A half year ago Taylor Swift debuted within my Top 10 with the lead single “Look what you made me do” (debuted at #5) which eventually become #1 in September 2017. This week sees another Top 10 debut which did a little bit better than Taylor Swift’s song. The pressure was high on Kylie Minogue but she defended her title with “Dancing” (#1). Although there is such a high debut the whole Top 3 withstand this pressure and so also both Kate Voegele songs “Bad bad drug” (#2) and “Shoot this arrow” (#3) are holding their spots.

In at #4 is the new single from the maybe most popular Hip Hop band from Germany. Back in 1986 the band was founded as Die Zwielichtigen Zwei and Terminal Team. Later in 1989 two new members joined and so Die Fantastischen Vier (The Fantastic Four) were founded. They were the first German Hip Hop artists who had a Top 10 hit out of their 2nd album “4 gewinnt” (“4 wins”). “Die da!?!” (“That one!?!”) eventually become #2 in Germany and #1 in Switzerland and Austria in 1992. This was the first time I recognized them and “Die da!?!” became an all time favourite of mine. But if you’re following my chart you’ll have recognized that I’m not really in love with rap music and so since 2011 no rap song reached #1 on my chart, but there had been rappers as featured acts which reached #1. Along their career they had several big hits, but for me “Die da!?!” and “MFG” (reached #2 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria in 1999) are my favourite songs by them. Since 2011 only two songs by them reached my chart. “Endzeitstimmung” (“End time mood”) peaked at #83 back in December 2017 and “25” peaked at #100 back in 2014. And now out of nowhere their new single “Zusammen” (#4, “Together”) got a Top 10 debut. For this song they teamed up with German singer Clueso whom I charted three times since 2011. Clueso’s biggest hit up to date is a feature on a Udo Lindenber single back in 2011 when he peaked at #79. “Zusammen” is a very clever song and absolutely stands in the tradition of “Die da!?!” and “MFG”. As soon as this song had been released “Zusammen” became a big airplay hit for me and it is absolutely possible that they will reach #1 by next week.

The Top 5 is rounded out with “Killinge me” (#5) by Luke Sital-Singh. Outside the Top 5 several position changes can be seen. Up one spot is “The middle” (#6) by Zedd & Maren Morris & Grey. Down two spots is “Strangers” (#7) by Sigrid. She is followed by Kelly Clarkson who climbed up two spots with “I don’t think about you” (#8). Next are line “Hurt somebody” (#9) by Noah Kahan & Julia Michaels and “Still” (#10) by Luke Sital-Singh.

Other debuts are “Fake it till I die” (#76) and “Long way” (#77) by Anouk, “Your side of the bed” (#79) by Loote, “OK” (#80) by Ilse DeLange, “Over my head” (#81) by Echosmith, “Broken heart” (#82) by Escape The Fate, “Don’t give in” (#83) by Snow Patrol, “Ghosts” (#84) by Scavenger Hunt, “Personal” (#92) by HRVY, “Follow your fire” (#93) by Kodaline, “Chemicals” (#94) by Dean Lewis, “Talk” (#95) by Liv Dawson, “Losing my mind” (#97) by Falling In Reverse, “Loosen up” (#99) by Nicole Cross.
