Week 421 – March 23rd, 2019

As predicted last week LANY took over. My song of the week is their single “Thick and thin” (#1). They are followed by themselves with “If you see her” (#2). Last week’s #1 “Under water” (#3) by Austrian singer Avec dropped two spots and is now only completing my podium. Also down one spot is Mabel’s club banger “Don’t call me up” (#4). Next in line is another former #1. It is “Tell me it’s over” (#5) by Avril Lavigne.

For the first time out of my Top 5 since January is former #1 “Nothing breaks like a heart” (#6) by Mark Ronson feat. Miley Cyrus. Lena dropped two spots with “Thank you” (#7), but she delivered with her new single. Then there is “Trouble” (#8) by Parov Stelar feat. Nikki Williams which is the only song in my Top 10 holding its spot. The next two songs are newbies. First let’s welcome LÉON back. She returns with her new single “You and I” (#9) from her self titled debut album. For the first time in my Top 10 is US singer Tyler Hilton. His team up with core artist Kate Voegele helped “When the night moves” (#10) climbing up 10 spots and reaching the Top 10.

So let’s see which song is this week’s greatest gainer. It is a song which is more than 50 years old. Australian singer Indiana Massara released a cover of the Tommy James and The Shondells song “I think we’re alone now” (#32). The original song went all the way to #4 in the USA in the 1960s. In the 1980s the song reached #1 in the USA in a version sung by Tiffany who recently had a hit with a feature on the New Kids On The Block song “80s baby”. And now this song climbed up 22 spots which is very strong. I hope that this cover will reach my Top 20 at least.

The greatest gainer of the week is followed by the highest debut of the week. It is the new single by German star Lena who is releasing her 5th album in a few weeks. The first single out of the album “Only love, L” had reached my Top 5. Now the 2nd single “Don’t lie to me” (#33) got a good start. At the moment Lena is following the tropical trend, but on this song I really like it. On the other hand this song isn’t anywhere near her only #1 hit “Traffic lights” back in 2015. In “Don’t lie to me” she is singing about the break up with her long-time boyfriend. This song is the only debut within my Top 50.

Other debuts are “danke, gut!” (#67, “thank you, good!”) by Pizzera & Jaus, “I’ve been thinking about you” (#68) by Klaas & Londonbeat, “Dans la nuit” (#82, “In the night”) by Cœur de Pirate feat. Loud, “Combustible” (#83, “Gas”) by Cœur de Pirate, “I hope” (#84) by Gabby Barrett, “NIKES” (#85) by Jake Miller, “Coldest water” (#86) by Walking On Cars, “Halb so viel” (#91, “Half as much”) by LEA, “Crazy to love you” (#92) by Decco & Alex Clare and “1996” (#98) by OK Kid.
