Year-End Review 2019 - 90 - 81

90 – 81

		international	note
90		no success	Ventino – Apaga y vámonos Points: 762.2 Peak: #22 Weeks: 15 Album: - Airplay: #109 Back in 2017 Ventino a girl band from Bogotá released their first successful single. Late in 2019 YouTube presented me some Latin songs including “Apaga y vámonos” (“Turn off and let’s go”). This song debuted in August and reached its peak at #22. Not bad for a song originally released in 2017.
89		no success	Taylor Swift – This is why we can’t have nice things Points: 762.5 Peak: #15 Weeks: 16 Album: Reputation Airplay: #79 In the last part of this review Taylor Swift had a hit with “Dancing with our hands tied”. Now she returns with her second entry “This is why we can’t have nice things”. It isn’t her best work, but I liked it so much that this song climbed up to #15.
88		no success	Taylor Swift – King of my heart Points: 763.5 Peak: #24 Weeks: 19 Album: Reputation Airplay: #70 Here she is again. Reigning queen Taylor Swift. This time it is another song from her album “Reputation”. “King of my heart” peaked lower than “This is why we can’t have nice things”, but due to its long activity this song did better in the year-end review.
87		#22 #13 #12 #16	Sigrid – Don’t feel like crying Points: 766.9 Peak: #21 Weeks: 16 Album: Sucker punch Airplay: #67 Back in 2017 Norwegian singer Sigrid started her career with “Don’t kill my vibe”. I first charted her with “Strangers” which has become her biggest hit for me reaching year-end #44 in 2018. This year she charted with “Don’t feel like crying”. It is a good song, but didn’t peak within the Top 10 as “Strangers”.
86		no success	MisterWives – Whywhywhy Points: 780.1 Peak: #21 Weeks: 15 Album: Mini bloom Airplay: #103 Next in line is MisterWives. Over the last year they had some Top 10 hits for me and so I really was interested in their EP “Mini bloom”. It turns out that “Whywhywhy” is a solid song, but nothing more. In the end this song just missed a spot within the Top 20.
85		no success	Sasha Sloan – Older Points: 781.4 Peak: #13 Weeks: 16 Album: - Airplay: #97 Definitely interesting is this next song in this review. Sasha Sloan draws a picture I can really identify with. It isn’t a typical song I’m charting, but in the end this song just missed the Top 10, but 16 weeks on chart helped her getting a spot within the Top 100.
84		#99 #43 #96 #27 #24 #16 #34 #29 #44	Taylor Swift – Call it what you want Points: 782.5 Peak: #12 Weeks: 16 Album: Reputation Airplay: #76 At #89, at #88 and now at #84 you can find a song from Taylor Swift’s album “Reputation”. This time it is “Call it what you want”. This song has been chosen as the album’s third promotional single. And while her other songs in this part of the countdown failed to enter the international charts this one did it. For me it failed to reach the Top 10, but I still like this song.
83		no success	Kelly Clarkson – Slow dance Points: 792.6 Peak: #19 Weeks: 17 Album: Meaning of life Airplay: #77 The first of the last two songs from “Meaning of life” can be found at #83. It is maybe not the best song on this album, but I really like it. At the end “Slow dance” peaked within the Top 20 and the long activity helped to get this year-end spot.
82		#61 #47 #52 #10 #7 #3 #3 #9 #12 #14	Taylor Swift – Lover Points: 795.5 Peak: #14 Weeks: 15 Album: Lover Airplay: #153 So and her is the next one by Taylor Swift. This time it is the title track from her latest album “Lover”. It is a good song, but in my opinion there is something missing to bring this song into the Top 10. Maybe it is because the collaboration with Max Martin and Shellback ended. I don’t really know, but eventually this song peaked “only” at #14.
81		no success	Tina Naderer – Bleibst du bei mir Points: 800.1 Peak: #19 Weeks: 15 Album: - Airplay: #98 In at #81 is a new rising star in Austria. It is Tina Naderer. Her song “Bleibst du bei mir” (“Will you stay with me”) got a lot of airplay this year, but it failed to enter the charts. For me it worked and it peaked at #19. Still a good song by a newcomer.
