Week 401 – November 3rd, 2018


First I’ve to write that there won’t be any flags in this and in the following weeks, because my account where I uploaded my flags has been disabled. Until I’ve not cleared this situation I’m not able to make the flags viewable.

So let’s see how this week looks like. At the top there is a new #1. Paul McCartney took over my chart with his recent single “Fuh you” (#1). It is nice to see that Veteran artists still have a chance to reach #1. Also up one spot and now in the runner’s up position is Annalisa with “Le parole non mentono” (#2, “Words don’t lie”). Last week’s #1 “Halt nicht fest” (#3, “Don’t hold on”) dropped two spots and is now rounding out my podium. Holding their spots are “Head above water” (#4) by Avril Lavigne and “You” (#5) by Matilda.

Directly behind also non-moving are “Mi parli piano” (#6, “Talk to me slowly”) by Emma and “Thru these tears” (#7) by LANY. These four non-moving songs are followed by the first out of two new songs in my Top 10. “Let you love me” (#8) is the 2nd Top 10 hit by Rita Ora. Her only Top 10 had been “I will never let you down” which reached my Top 10 in 2014 and peaked at #6 in June 2014. So let’s welcome her after an absence of more than four years. Next in line is “Rough diamonds fall” (#9) by Luke Sital-Singh. “Rough diamonds fall” is caught between the two new songs in this section of my chart. While “Let you love me” is the highest Top 10 entry “Lay with me” (#10) by Phantoms feat. Vanessa Hudgens is the 2nd highest new song in my Top 10. When I first listened to this song I’ve not seen this happening, but this is a really good song so it deserves the Top 10 honours.

What describes a kind of this year’s music best? Maybe it is the catch phrase “Baby hit me one more time”. I’ve not heard this phrase so often since Britney Spears had her debut hit “… Baby one more time” back in 1998. This year nearly every song with a retro title includes this phrase. The first time I recognized this phrase in a song of 2018 had been “2002” by Anne-Marie which peaked at #18 in July. Three weeks ago “1999” (#34) by Charli XCX feat. Troye Sivan debuted and this song also includes this phrase. And this week US country singer Lauren Alaina debuts with her song “Ladies in the ‘90s” (#65). You’re right this song also includes this phrase. Could it be that “Baby … one more time” is the biggest hit in the 1990’s? I’m not sure, but there are indicators for this fact.

The highest debut is by a well-known German singer which I’ve not charted before. Wolfgang Petry had his biggest hit in the 1990’s with “Die längste Single der Welt” (“The world longest single”; 1996: peaked at #7 in Germany) and “Die längste Single der Welt 2” (1999: peaked at #2 in Germany). Now he released the first single out of his upcoming album “Genau jetzt!” (“Just now”). “Wo sind denn all die Helden” (#48) is a very strong song and at the moment I see this song as potential Top 20 hit. Behind Paul McCartney German Wolfgang Petry is the 2nd oldest male artist on my chart. The 2nd highest debut is by Clara Mae. “Sorry for writing all the songs about you” (#61) is a good song, but at the moment only her 2nd highest charting song. “Rooftop” (#54) could be outperformed in the next weeks. Surprisingly a debut is the 2017 hit “Sign of the times” (#81) by Harry Styles. I really have to say that I didn’t liked this song when it came out, but I just heard this song at the end of the German TV show “Professor T” (is based on a TV show from Belgium). I was flashed and now this song from last year got its debut.

Other debuts are “What is love” (#62, a cover of the Haddaway hit), “Nobody” (#63) by Matt Cardle, “Baby don’t talk” (#64) by Léon, “Fragile” (#82) and “Bad habit” (#83) by Leslie Clio, “Survive on love” (#84) by Matt Gresham, “Lost in the middle” (#85) by Catherine McGrath, “Keep lying” (#86) by Donna Missal, “Free fall” (#87) by Andreas Moe, “I’ll still have me” (#88) by CYN, “Ijskoud” (#94), “Better off gone” (#96) by Logan Mize, “Movin’ on” (#97) by Muscadine Bloodline, “Could it be” (#98) by Kane Miller, “Not thinkin’ bout you” (#99) by Ruel and “I scare myself” (#100) by Beth Crowley.
