Week 391 – August 25th, 2018

LANY defended the top spot of my chart with “Thru these tears” (#1) once more. This is now their 3rd week at the top and they should top my chart for at least one more week. “Heat” (#2) by Kelly Clarkson is holding the runner’s up spot for another week, but I’m not sure if this song gets the extra punch for reaching #1. Also holding their spots are the Taylor Swift songs in my Top 10. “I did something bad” (#3) is still completing the podium while “Don’t blame me” (#4) is just outside the Top 3. New in my Top 5 is another song by Kelly Clarkson. Her song “Whole lotta woman” (#5) climbed up two spots.

Now outside the Top 5 is former #1 “Angels on my shoulders” (#6) by Norma Jean Martine. This song is followed by the first of three new songs in this part of my chart. Core artist Emma returns with her latest single “Mi parlo piano” (#7, Talk to me slowly”) after a 19 spot leap. Next in line are the Backstreet Boys with their recent hit “Don’t go breaking my heart” (#8). And then there are the other two new songs in this part. Back in my Top 10 is Austrian singer Christina Stümer. Her recent single “In ein paar Jahren” (#9, “In a few years”) climbed up 22 spots in its 2nd week on chart. Also up 22 spots in its 2nd charting week is “You” (#10) by Norwegian singer Matilda. These both songs are tied for the award of the greatest gainer of the week.

Last week saw a massive of 22 new songs. This week had been a little bit calmer, but there are still nine debuts. The highest one is by German singer LEA and Cyril. “Wenn wir uns sehn” (#31, “When we meet”) is a song from the German movie “Das schönste Mädchen der Welt” (“The most beautiful girl in the world”) and Cyril is portrayed by Aaron Hilmer. I really like this song although isn’t as good as LEA’s part, but this part is so short that I can connive. The 2nd highest debut also reached my Top 50. It is by Maggie Rogers who is best known for her single “Alaska” which I never charted. Her latest single “Give a little” (#47) is her chart debut.

Other debuts are “Middle of the night mind” (#58) and “Ventura highway” (#59) by Kate Voegele, “Wouldn’t want to be like you” (#84) by Sheryl Crow feat. Annie Clark, “Almost forgot” (#85) by Against The Current, “Heart to break” (#86) by Kim Petras, “Break” (#93) by Gin Blossoms and “Tonight belongs to you” (#94) by In Real Life.
