Week 407 – Dezember 15th, 2018

There had been two options for this week’s #1. On the one hand I thought about giving LANY their 2nd #1 this year. On the other hand there is Swedish newcomer Clara Mae who recently reached my Top 5. In the end I decided upon LANY’s “I don’t love you anymore” (#1). Clara Mae finished this week in the runner’s up position with “Sorry for writing all the songs about you” (#2). This week LANY had the better end, but in the long run I’ll definitely go with Clara Mae. But wait there is a song which will debut next week and should do more than well. Definitely a choice for #1, but I hadn’t so many #1 debuts before and so Clara Mae should reach the top spot. Dropping down two spots from #1 is Avril Lavigne with “Head above water” (#3). Also down two spots is “Le parole non mentono” (#4, “Words don’t lie”). Rounding out my Top 5 is “Let you love me” (#5) by Rita Ora.

Still near my Top 5 is “Lay with me” (#6) by Phantoms feat. Vanessa Hudgens. This dance song is followed by Bülow’s wonderful hymn “Two punks in love” (#7). Behind these two non-movers is “Where we go” (#8) by Pink which climbed up one spot. So let’s talk about the two new songs in my Top 10. First let’s welcome another singer from Sweden. LÉON got her first Top 10 smash with “Baby don’t talk” (#9). When I first listened to this song I didn’t recognized the hit potential, but this song has grown on me over the last weeks and now it reached my Top 10 for the first time. Reaching the first time my Top 10 is “Mondiale” (#10, “World”) by Emma. She recently released the “Boom edition” for her 2018 album “Essere qui” (“To be here”). “Mondiale” is the first song out of four new songs from this deluxe version.

Last week the 2nd highest debut and this week the greatest gainer of the week is “Nothing breaks like a heart” (#29) by Mark Ronson feat. Miley Cyrus. “Nothing breaks like a heart is a country-disco song and could continue this trend on my chart. Kylie Minogue did very well with her country-disco/pop songs this year. She reached #1 with “Dancing” and “Stop me from falling” (#65). I’m not sure if “Nothing breaks like a heart” has #1 potential, but it is definitely a very good song. The highest debut is by Cœur de Pirate. Finally I had time to check out her 2018 album and I’ve to say that I like this one. So it is no surprise for me to debut her 2nd single out of this album “Somnambule” (#42, “Sleepwalking”). This one has been the only Top 50 debut although 18 songs got their debuts.

The other debuts are “Older” (#59) by Sasha Sloan, “Just the same” (#60) by Charlotte Lawrence, “Niemals” (#61, “Never”) by Vanessa Mai, “What I don’t know” (#62) by Rachael Fahim, “Straight to my head” (#73) by You Me At Six, “Monster” (#74) by Walking On Cars, “Someone I used to know” (#75) by Zac Brown Band, “Tell me how” (#76) and “Idle worship” (#77) by Paramore, “Talk to me” (#90) by Seaforth, “Herz mit Post” (#93, “Heart with mail”) by Alexander Knappe, “Driving” (#94) by Donna Missal, “Beifahrersitz” (#98, “”) by Bruckner, “Who would think that love” (#99) by Now United and “Cars, girls and the radio” (#100) by David James.
