Week 427 – May 4th, 2019

On the one hand there is my non-moving Top 5. On the other hand I’ve to celebrate 19 debuts, but first things first. Since seven weeks US band LANY is topping my chart. Now “If you see her” (#1) is in its 4th week at the top. To be honest I don’t see an end coming in the next few weeks. Their former #1 “Thick and thin” (#2) is holding the runner’s up spot and still at the podium is “Now that I found you” (#3) by Carly Rae Jepsen. Next in line is newcomer Indiana Massara. Her cover “I think we’re alone now” (#4) is still doing pretty well. Actually she has two more single out there, but her collaboration “Over it” with Annie LeBlanc and Aliyah Moulden won’t debut on my chart as her solo single “Run you down”. This is rather disappointing, but I hope she will release song in the future which is worth charting. The last non-moving song in this part of my chart is “Under water” (#5) by AVEC.

Up three spots is German singer Lena with “Don’t lie to me” (#6). Unfortunately her third single “Sex in the morning” from her upcoming new album failed to enter my chart and I doubt it will do better in the next weeks. One spot down is “Tell me it’s over” (#7) by Avril Lavigne. While this song is still in my Top 10 “Dumb blonde” (#11) dropped out. This song was replaced by “Undrunk” (#8) which is Fletcher’s first Top 10 hit. Up and down describes the chart performance by Tayler Hilton & Kate Voegele’s “When the night moves” (#9) best. This week this song dropped one spot. The Top 10 is rounded out by “Baby please don’t stop” (#10) by Emma Bunton.

As I wrote above this week’s chart sees 19 debuts. Among this debuts there are big names as Taylor Swift, Anouk, Carrie Underwood, LANY or Ellie Goulding. None of these artists managed to debut within my Top 50 with their new singles. It had been country singer Lacy Cavalier who impressed me more with her newbie (but not with her video). She debuts with her new single “Blue suede couch” (#42) within the Top 50 and with a very great outlook. This song is ready to take over my country chart in a few weeks and maybe it will last as long as some others did in the past.
The 2nd best debut is by Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie. Their song “ME!” (#64) got a solid start, but Taylor Swift had done better in the past. For Brendon Urie this song is his solo debut on my chart. With his band Panic! At The Disco he had been on my chart once with “The ballad of Mona Lisa” back in 2011. This song is followed by the next single by Anouk. She recently dropped “It’s a new day” (#65) which makes now two official singles without an album. I believe that her new album will be released in a few months from now. Then there is LANY’s new single “Okay” (#66) with a Julia Michaels feature. I like this song and maybe it is doing as well as some of their other songs. As you see these are back to back debuts and there is still no end in sight. Next debut is by Ellie Goulding. Her song “Sixteen” (#67) is in my eyes her best song since a very long time. She is followed by country star Carrie Underwood who returns with “Southbound” (#68). Then there is the comeback by Pia Mia with “Bitter sweet” (#69). “Bitter love” is her first chart hit since her 2016 smash “Touch”.

Other debuts are “J’ai su” (#70, “I knew”) by Anaïs Delva, “Feelings” (#79) by Lennon Stella, “Shania Twain” (#81) by Aura Dione, “Drink too much wine” (#82) by Sophia Scott, “Julien” (#89) by Carly Rae Jepsen, “Changes” (#90) by Mike Perry & Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman & Ten Times feat. The Companions, “If you met me first” (#92) by Eric Ethridge, “85 %” (#93) by Loote feat. Gnash, “The answer” (#96) by True Tides, “La respuesta” (#97, “The answer”) by Becky G & Maluma, “Now that you’re gone” (#98) by The Raconteurs and “Redemption day” (#99) by Sheryl Crow & Johnny Cash.
