Week 409 – Dezember 29th, 2018

2018 is ending with the same #1 as last week. “Sorry for writing all the songs about you” (#1) by Clara Mae defended its title. I’m really sorry for this song that it didn’t reach my year-end Top 100, but rules are rules. I’m sure that this song will be one of my top hits in 2019. Indie pop band LANY still can be found at #2 with their recent smash “I don’t wanna love you anymore”. These two songs got new concurrence. “Nada” (#3, “Nothing”) by Shakira sprinted up three spots. It is Shakira’s first Top 3 hit, but before 2011 she already had hits as “Whenever wherever” or “Hips don’t lie” to name only a few of her pre-chart hits. “Nada” is the highest charting Spanish song and the first one with a real chance to go all the way to the top. This song is also the only song which didn’t reach #1 in my Top 10 so far. “Nada” is followed by “Head above water” (#4) by Avril Lavigne. I’m really excited for her new album. I hope it will be as good as the first two singles out of it. Next in line is “Le parole non mentono” (#5, “Words don’t lie”) by Annalisa.

On its way to outperform “Le parole non mentono” is another song in Italian. “Mondiale” (#6) is a beautiful song by my core artist Emma. I like this song although it is a little bit too martial because it describes love as “war” or “world war”. Behind this song there are two new songs in this part of my chart. First to mention is country disco/pop “Nothing breaks like a heart” (#7) by Mark Ronson feat. Miley Cyrus. This one is followed by “Tell me it’s over” (#8) by Avril Lavigne. With this edition Avril Lavigne has two songs in my Top 10 at once. Down four spots is “Where we go” (#9) by Pink. Rounding out my Top 10 is “Baby don’t talk” (#10) by LÉON.

This week I’ve two songs which got the greatest gainer of the week award. Both songs debuted last week. The first one is “The less I know” (#24) by Topic feat. Alexander Tidebrink. The other one is “Trouble” (#25) by Parov Stelar feat. Nikki Williams. While I liked “The less I know” with the first listen “Trouble” took awhile, but now this song is sprinting up my chart. This week only sees a handful debuts in the backyard of my chart. The highest debuts are album cuts by Luke Sital-Singh. He debuts with “Nowhere’s home” (#89) and “Cynic” (#90). Other debuts are “Who cares” (#93) by Paul McCartney, “Into you” (#96) by YURI from Girls’ Generation, “Solo” (#98) by Jennie from Blackpink and “Slower” (#99) by Austin Burke.
