Year-End Review 2019 - 100 - 91

100 – 91

		international	note
100		no success	Klaas – When we were still young Points: 719.3 Peak: #10 Weeks: 13 (still charting) Album: - Airplay: #170 This year German DJ Klaas had two hits. The first one had been a cover of the Londonbeat classic “I’ve been thinking about you”. His second hit did a lot better and ended within the Top 10. His youth anthem “When we were still young” reached the Top 10 by the end of the year and takes the first spot in the part of the review.
99		no success	Madeline Juno – Grund genug Points: 721.4 Peak: #20 Weeks: 14 Album: Was bleibt Airplay: #139 Since her 2011 hit “Error” it had been a long way for Madeline Juno who is now singing in German. Another gem by her is “Grund genug” (“Reason enough”). This song is a single from her 2nd album in German and reached a notable spot in the Top 20.
98		no success	LXandra – Swimming pools Points: 723.2 Peak: #21 Weeks: 14 Album: Another lesson learned EP Airplay: #82 I’ve not heard about this young singer from Finland before. With her song “Swimming pools” she entered the chart for the first time. This song is also about the youth and that you were happy with little in these days. I like the lyrics and I hope that she will chart anytime soon.
97		#9	Hecht – Besch ready für die Liebi vo mer? Points: 745.5 Peak: #4 Weeks: 10 (still charting) Album: - Airplay: #211 When I think of pop from Switzerland 77 Bombay Street and Stefanie Heinzmann cross my mind. This year a dialect pop band from Switzerland also had a big hit for me. Their song “Besch ready für die Liebi vo mer?” (“Are you ready for the love with me?”) just missed the Top 3 and becomes the first Swiss dialect pop song reaching the Top 10. This song about the start of a relationship is fresh and unique and the best is that they aren’t a one hit wonder because I charted them once before.
96		#32 #33	Thomas Rhett – Look what god gave her Points: 750.8 Peak: #16 Weeks: 16 Album: Center Point Road Airplay: #25 Since I discovered my love for country songs US singer Thomas Rhett had some hits on my chart. This year he returned with the single “Look what good gave her” which is dedicated to his wife. I absolutely love this country pop song while I never got into his album “Center Point Road”.
95		no success	Taylor Swift – Dancing with our hands tied Points: 758.1 Peak: #25 Weeks: 19 Album: Reputation Airplay: #59 Taylor Swift can be found seven times within the year-end Top 100. She charted this year with songs from her albums “Reputation” and “Lover”. The first one within the Top 100 is the album cut “Dancing with our hands tied”.
94		no success	Cœur de Pirate feat. Loud – Dans la nuit Points: 759.0 Peak: #14 Weeks: 17 Album: En cas de tempête, ce jardin sera ferme Airplay: #73 Back in 2010 I discovered Canadian singer Cœur de Pirate for me. Since that she had reached the chart very often and this year she returned very strong with her latest album “En cas de tempête, ce jardin sera ferme”. ”Dans la nuit” (“In the night”) is her first of two entries in the Top 100.
93		no success	Tagtraeumer – Zeit Points: 759.1 Peak: #18 Weeks: 17 Album: Unendlich eins Airplay: #69 You all know that Tagtraeumer are my favourite band from my home country. They have scored multiple #1’s and “Unendlich eins” is an album which had several Top 10 hits. This album is easily the best album in German with its success. “Zeit” (“Time”) only peaked at #18, but it is definitely a good song by them. Can’t wait for the bands new songs.
92		no success	John.k – If we never met Points: 760.1 Peak: #19 Weeks: 15 Album: - Airplay: #75 Recently John.k’s song “If we never met” was picked up for charting by some other than me. I first listened to his song in May. This song had a fine chart run with its peak within the Top 20 and it is definitely nice to see someone else also listening to this song.
91		no success	LANY feat. Julia Michaels – Okay Points: 761.4 Peak: #15 Weeks: 15 Album: - Airplay: #88 For the first time within in the Top 100 can now be found my favourite band of the year LANY. Their single “Okay” hasn’t been on the highly recommended album “Malibu nights”. I like this song, but it failed to reach the high expectations the band’s second album caused. I hope that they will have some success outside my little world too.
