Week 400 – October 27th, 2018

How time flies! Back in March 2011 I decided to re-start charting and now more than seven years later I can celebrate the 400th edition of my chart. Over these years Anouk, Emma, Kate Voegele, Kelly Clarkson and Taylor Swift have established themselves as core artists. Anouk and Kelly Clarkson had been stars for me before 2011, but the others are “new” ones. Leading artist – although her last album hardly produced big hits – is still Anouk with a record of 18 #1’s. For comparison Anouk is followed by Emma and Kate Voegele who only have eight #1’s. Actually out of my Top 5 artists only Emma has a song in my Top 10 hit which is also her latest #1.

Let’s see which song tops this week’s edition. It is still “Halt nicht fest” (#1, “Don’t hold on”) by Ohrenpost. Behind there is strong concurrence. Up one spot is “Oldie” Paul McCartney. His latest single “Fuh you” (#2) turns out to be a surprise hit for me which I’ve not seen coming. New in my Top 3 is Italian singer Annalisa. Her latest album cut I’m charting is “Le parole non mentono” (#3, “Word’s don’t lie”). It is definitely possible that this song will be her 1st #1 on my chart. This brings me to the question if she could be as big as Emma is on my chart. Maybe not, because her other songs haven’t done well for me in the past. Everything changed with her album “Bye bye” which I’m charting at the moment and I really like as her new single “Un domani” (“Tomorrow”). “Un domani” should be in by next week. Also doing well is the latest single by Avril Lavigne. “Head above water” (#4) climbed up six spots. Rounding out my Top 5 is the former #1 “You” (#5) by Matilda.

Leaving my Top 5 is “Mi parli piano” (#6, “Talk to me slowly”) by Emma which is now the 2nd highest ranked song in Italian this week. Emma is followed by LANY and their only #1 hit “Thru these tears” (#7). I’ve definitely to check out their album “Malibu nights”. Maybe I like it and then you’ll find more songs by them on my chart in the future, but I’ve to check out more albums so it could take a while. Then there are “Rough diamonds fall” (#8) by Luke Sital-Singh, “One more red light” (#9) by Cassadee Pope and “Wild” (#10) by Catherine McGrath.

On the debut side of my chart you’ll only find two new songs which are album cuts from Pink’s album “Beautiful trauma”. She debuts with “Where we go” (#71) and “Barbies” (#72). Both songs have a good outlook, but only time will tell where the journey ends. After two weeks “Let you love me” (#20) by Rita Ora isn’t the greatest gainer. This week this award goes to “Lay with me” (#24) by Phantoms feat. Vanessa Hudgens.
