Week 373 – April 21th, 2018

This week doesn’t see a lot of action. Only eight new songs are giving a debut and in the Top 10 there are two new songs. Still at #1 are Die Fantastischen Vier feat. Clueso with their hit “Zusammen” (“Together”). They are still followed by Kylie Minogue with “Dancing” (#2) and Kelly Clarkson with “I don’t think about you” (#3). Up one spot are Cold War Kids. Their latest Top 5 smash “Ordinary idols” (#4) is scratching at the Top 3, but I’m not sure if they will be successful. New in my Top 5 is Emma with her recent single “Effetto domino” (#5, “Domino effect”).

Leading the bottom half of my Top 10 is Kylie Minogue. “Stop me from falling” (#6) climbed up one spot. Down three spots is former #1 “Shoot this arrow” (#7) by Kate Voegele. Last week Sigala and Paloma Faith gave their Top 10 debut. This week they rose up two spots with “Lullaby” (#8). They are followed by Leslie Clio. “In and out” (#9) is only the second song out of her “Purple” album  in my Top 10 which means in my eyes that this album isn’t as good as the “Eureka” album when she had several #1’s. And last but not least new in my Top 10 is Pink with “Whatever you want” (#10).

As I pointed out above that this week is rather calm the greatest gainer of the week only climbed up nine spots. Three songs did that this week and so the award is shared to Ilse DeLange’s “OK” (#60) and the two Emma songs “Sottovoce” (#61, “Whisper”) and “Le regazze come me” (#62, “Girls like me”). The highest new entry is from Tagtraeumer. It is an album cut and no regular single, but I really like this song since I heard it live last year. “Alle Farben” (#69, “All colours”) is a very good song by them and debuts one spot before the other song from them. “Liebe = X” (#70, “Love = X”) is nice too, but I don’t think that this song will reach my Top 10 in the long run. The highest single debut is Klima. This German band released “Mein Herz schlägt für dich” (#71, “My heart beats for you”) back in January 2017 as a regular single, but I just discovered this song. “Mein Herz schlägt für dich” could be the one surprise German hit this year beside “Zusammen” by Die Fantastischen Vier feat. Clueso.

Other debuts are “Sky full of song” (#81) by Florence + The Machine, “Turn” (#82) by The Wombats, “Genau hier” (#96, “Exactly here”) by Sarah, “Nur zu zweit sind wir komplett” (#97, “Only for two we are complete”) by Orry Jackson, “The bitch is back” (#99) by Miley Cyrus.
