Week 463 – January 11th, 2020

I’m still blinded by the lights. Canadian superstar The Weeknd stays one more week at the top with his first solo chart hit “Blinding lights” (#1). 2020 starts as the last year when most of the chart topping songs scored more than two weeks at the top. For “Blinding lights” it’s the third week at the top. Selena Gomez released her new album “Rare” this week. I loved her “Revival”-album and I hope that I will like this one too. Her single “Lose you to love me” (#2) is still at the podium which is rounded out with “Reasons I drink” (#3) by Alanis Morissette who is also releasing a new album this year. It will be her first since her 2012 release of “Havoc and bright lights” which scored multiple #1’s on my chart. Up two spots and into the Top 5 is “French” (#4) by Kate Voegele. Italian singer Emma goes down one spot with her single “Io sono bella” (#5, “I am beautiful”), but she doesn’t have to worry because her new single debuts in this week’s edition.

Climbing up the chart is Lennon Stella. Her single “Kissing other people” (#6) is now heavily knocking at the door to the Top 5 and maybe this will happen next week. Next in line is former #1 “Higher love” (#7) by Kygo & Whitney Houston. I can’t even remember when this has been in my Top 10 but it happened this week. Although this song is on its way out of the Top 10 I believe this song will spent at least 40+ weeks on chart which rarely happens in these days. The only song holding its spot outside the Top 3 is “Malibu nights” (#8) by LANY. This song is followed by HRVY whose song “Million ways” (#9) climbed up one spot. For the first time in the Top 10 is Kelsea Ballerini. Her song choice “Better luck next time” (#10) from the show “Songland” is doing very well for me.

The greatest gainer of the week is “Love me anyway” (#28) which is collaboration between Pink and Chris Stapleton. I really like this country pop song and for the moment it looks like that this song will reach the Top 10. For the highest debut you’ve to look a little bit down the chart. It’s a song by Harry Styles which is a little bit of a surprise. Former One Direction singers are struggling on my chart and most of the time they only have minor hits. Some songs have reached the Top 20, but all of these songs failed to enter the Top 10. This brings me to this week’s chart which sees five songs by former members of One Direction. Niall Horan has two charting hits with “Nice to meet ya” (peaked at #18) and “Put a little love on me” (#61). While “Put a little love on me” is on its way up “Nice to meet ya” is expected to leave the chart in a few weeks. Also Louis Tomlinson has now a smaller hit with “Don’t let it break your heart” (#68). And now Harry Styles debuts with two songs from his new album “Fine line”. The highest debut is “Adore you” (#52) which just missed the Top 50. His other debut is “Watermelon sugar” (#74). As there hasn’t been a Top 10 hit by the former One Direction members I don’t see it happen for Harry Styles’ debuts but who knows.

Other debuts are “Stupida allegria” (#54, “Mad happiness”) by Emma, “Love is fire” (#75) by Freya Ridings, “Superare” (#77, “Overcome”) and “Dov'è che si va” (#78, “Where is it going”) by Annalisa, “All the things (I’m not)” (#84) by Drew, “All that we could have been” (#93) by Alex Sampson, “Listen to your heart” (#95) by Through Fire and “Wie nah” (#96, “How close”) by klea.
