Week 404 – November 24th, 2018

Today I felt a little bit sick, so I had to do postpone this review. Then I had problems with my PC. This is why I’m posting this week’s review later than usual. After fast changes at the top Avril Lavigne defended the #1 with “Head above water” (#1). Avril is a favourite of mine since her wonderful debut song “Complicated”. How time flies! More than 16 years ago I first listened to this song and I played her debut album back and forth. I’m really getting old, but back to the topic. Also holding its position is “Le parole non mentono” (#2, “Words don’t lie”) by Annalisa. New at the podium is “Let you love me” (#3) by Rita Ora. For her this is her first Top 3 hit on my chart. She replaced Paul McCartney’s #1 smash “Fuh you” (#4) which dropped one spot. Completing the Top 5 is “Lay with me” (#5) by Phantoms feat. Vanessa Hudgens. I really haven’t seen this coming, but now this song is taking my chart by storm.

Dropping out of my Top 5 is “Halt nicht fest” (#6, “Don’t hold on”) by German band Ohrenpost. I’ve charted them once before, but this hit came out of nowhere. Technically “Halt nicht fest” is no one hit wonder, but only the future will tell if this is an anomaly. Up one spot is “Two punks in love” (#7) by Bülow. She is followed by LANY. They are celebrating their 2nd Top 10 hit with “I don’t love you anymore” (#8) while “Thru these tears” (#11) dropped out of the Top 10 in its 18th week on chart. The Top 10 is rounded out with two former #1’s. At #9 it is “You” by Matilda and at #10 it is “Mi parli piano” (“Talk to me slowly”) by Emma.

After a week with more than 10 new entries this week is rather calm. The greatest gainer of the week is “Sorry for writing all the songs about you” (#12) by Clara Mae. She just missed her first Top 10 hit, but this song should be in by next. The highest debut is by the Backstreet Boys. At the moment they are the most successful boy band on my chart. And no we aren’t in the 1990’s. Their latest hit song is “Chances” (#67). “Chances” got a solid debut for the moment and don’t see this song reaching the same spheres as “Don’t go breaking my heart”, but who knows. It is a good song and should do well. Other debuts are “Always remember us this way” (#75) by Lady Gaga, “Gimme” (#76) by Megan Davies, “Crush” (#77) by Cigarettes After Sex, “No matter what” (#93) by Calum Scott, “Used to” (#94) by Sandro Cavazza feat. Lou Elliotte, “Wie versprochen” (#95, “As promised”) by Clueso, “Du” (#96, “You”) by Alexander Knappe.
