Week 390 – August 18th, 2018

Another week goes by and LANY defended their title with “Thru these tears” (#1). This is a huge success, because a massive of 22 debuts as well as many position changes happened this week. “Thru these tears” was one of three songs in my Top 10 which could hold its position. “Thru these tears” is followed by Kelly Clarkson’s single “Heat” (#3) which climbed up two spots. “I did something bad” (#3) and “Don’t blame me” (#4) by Taylor Swift each dropped one spot. Up one spot and back in my Top 5 is former #1 “Angels on my shoulders” (#5) by Norma Jean Martine.

The 2nd half of my Top 10 is opened by Backstreet Boys’ “Don’t go breaking my heart” (#6) which changed its spot with “Angels on my shoulders”. Up two spots is “Whole lotta woman” (#7) by Kelly Clarkson. Caught between the non-movers “Not the only one” (#8) by Kate Voegele and “Verdammt lang her” (#10, “Damn long ago) by Andreas Gabalier is “So high” (#9) by Aslove feat. Norma Jean Martine.

Last week Italian singer Emma had to share the award for the greatest gainer of the week with several other artists. This week it all belongs to her, because “Mi parlo piano” (#26, “Talk to me slowly”) climbed up 33 spots. This song is now near my Top 20 and it is definitely a contender for a spot in my Top 10. So let’s see which song is the highest debut in this week’s edition. Austrian star Christina Stürmer returns with her first single from her upcoming album “Überall zu Hause” (“Everywhere at home”). “In ein paar Jahren” (#31, “In a few years”) is a very interesting song, but I doubt at the moment that this song will be big hit for her in Austria. On my chart otherwise this song has a good outlook. I’m sure that this one will give her another Top 10 hit and time will show if this is song brings her back to the top.

Christina Stürmer is leading a total of 22 new songs in this edition with six of these songs debuting in my Top 50. The 2nd best debut is by Norwegian singer Matilda. I’ve not charted her before. “You” (#32) is beautiful love song which absolutely joins the trend of EDM, but it is a way more relaxed than some songs out of this genre. Next in line is “One more red light” (#33) by Cassadee Pope. As I’m always a little bit in country music it is no surprise that one ore another song out of this genre has the potential to reach my Top 10. This very strong debut gives Cassadee Pope another change to bring a song into this part. And who knows maybe “One more red light” outperforms her biggest hit “I wish I could break your heart”. The fourth debuting song in this row is “Between you and me” (#34) by One Bit and Louisa Johnson. I’ve not heard about One Bit before, but teaming up with Louisa Johnson really helped them to get a proper debut. For Louisa Johnson on the other hand this song could be her biggest hit on my chart.

Other debuts are “Wunschkonzert” (#47, “Request concert”) by Stereoact feat. Sarah, “Loyal to me” (#48) by Nina Nesbitt, “Shame” (#64) by Elle King, “Might not like me” (#65) by Brynn Elliott, “Way back home” (#66) by Shaun, “Way back home” (#67; this is the English cover of Shaun’s Korean hit song) by Ysabelle Cuevas, “The beginning” (#70) by Richie Krisak feat. Emelie Cyréus, “G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.” (#73) by Red Electrick, “Thrills” (#87) by Donna Missal, “Love” (#89) by Kinnie Lane, “Summer love” (#90) by Seonozzi feat. Kinnie Lane, “Egotistic” (#91) by Mamamoo, “Never ever” (#94) by Lisa Stansfield, “Lover boy” (#95) by Phum Viphurit, “Page 0” (#96) by Taeyeon & MeloMance, “Can’t tell you no” (#97) by Muscadine Bloodline, “Mala mía” (#98, “My bad”) by Maluma and “Tragic” (#99) by Alli Fitz.
