Week 387 – July 28th, 2018

Taylor Swift is holding the top spot with “I did something bad” (#1) for a 2nd week in a row. She is still followed by Norma Jean Martine and her wonderful “Angels on my shoulders” (#2). For the first time on the podium are Backstreet Boys. Their song “Don’t go breaking my heart” (#3) is a big comeback from them for me. Unfortunately it only obtained little airplay here in Europe. Down one spot is Kate Voegele with “Not the only one” (#4). “Don’t blame me” (#5) by Taylor Swift is completing this week’s Top 5. So she has now two Top 10 hits at once.

The 2nd half of my Top 10 is opened with “Verdammt lang her” (#6, “Damn long ago) by Austrian Andreas Gabalier. Last week he knocked at the door to my Top 3, but this week it dropped two spots. Directly behind is the 2nd highest charting song which isn’t in English. “Bye bye” (#7) by Annalisa climbed up one spot. On its way downwards is former #1 “Stop me from falling” (#8) by Kylie Minogue it is 20th week on chart. Norma Jean Martine is replacing herself this week in my Top 10. “When we were young” (#11) where she is featured on the Lost Kings track is replaced by “So high” (#9) where she is featured on the Aslove track. This week’s Top 10 is rounded out by “I said hi” (#10) by Amy Shark.

The greatest gainer is as last week “Heat” (#12) by Kelly Clarkson. Definitely a song which could top my chart in the future. So let’s talk about this week’s new entries. For the first time in a while there are more than ten debuts. The highest one is by US band LANY. They are only known for minor hits on my chart. Their biggest hit up todate had been "Super far" which peaked at #63 in October 2017. With their actual single they have a potential Top 10 hit in their pocket. “Thru these tears” (#31) shot straight into the Top 40 and this song has written hit all over it. And as my chart grow old over the weeks it is absolutely possible that “Thru these tears” could reach the Top 5 at least.

Sure there are more than ten debuts, but beside “Thru these tears” no other new song reached my Top 70. Other debuts are “Secrets” (#77) by Pink, “Alles ist jetzt” (#78, “Everything is now”) by Bosse, “Mi parli piano” (#79, “Talk to me slowly”) and “Le cose chen penso” (#80, “Things that I think”) by Emma, “Last one” (#91) by The Aces, “Lie like me” (#93) by Ward Thomas, “Drowning” (#94) by Mario, “Heart to love” (#95) by Passenger, “With you” (#96) by Tyler Shaw, “16 steps” by Martin Jensen & Olivia Holt and “Hurt people” (#100) by Two Feet feat. Madison Love.
