Week 482 – May 23rd, 2020

Looking down the chart this week’s countdown is opened with critical song “Bikini” (#100) by Caroline Rose who criticizes the objectification of women in this song. Sure this song is a little bit older (from 2018) but I recently discovered this song when I watched the 2nd season of “The Good Fight”. This song shows the wide variety of songs I’m listening to, but I’m sure that the most of you’ve noticed this over the years. “Bikini” is this week’s song in the spotlight and maybe one or another gives this song a chance to became part of a personal playlist.

Still at the top is “Smiling” (#1) by Alanis Morissette. In its 11th charting week this song is now the 4th consecutive week at the top. “I love you” (#2) by Anouk is now leading the pack after a two spot climb. Now she is really fighting for the top spot and I’m sure that we will see a swap between Alanis Morissette and Anouk in the very near future. Dropping down one spot is former #1 “I don’t need your love” (#3) by Isak Danielson which is completing the podium. New in the Top 5 is “Dance again” (#4) by Selena Gomez after climbing up two spots. Down two spots is “Ein Lied für jetzt” (#5, “A song for now”) by Die Ärzte.

Last week “Me quedo” (#6, “I stay”) peaked at #5. This week the collaboration between Aitana and Lola Indigo dropped one spot. “Me quedo” is followed by “Break up song” (#7) by Little Mix. Next in line are three new songs in the Top 10. The highest ranked one is “Break my heart” (#8) by Dua Lipa who recently had a #1 with “Physical” (#21). Lately German singer Elif had a chart hit with Samra on his track “Zu Ende” (“Over”). Now she reached the Top 10 for the first time with “Freunde” (#9, “Friends”). That’s definitely good news for her, but she also debuts with another non-album single this week. And last but not least German singer LEA also gets a Top 10 hit with “Treppenhaus” (#10, “Stairwell”). For LEA this is her 2nd Top 10 hit following the “Immer wenn wir uns sehn” (Whenever we see each other”) which peaked at #7 back in 2019.

Another slow week goes by and so the greatest gainer of the week only climbed up 12 spot. This week the award goes to Avril Lavigne and her song “Warrior” (#30). Some weeks ago she released another version of this song, but I still go with the album version of this song. The highest debut is by Emma. She debuts two songs from her recent album “Fortuna” which are “Quando l'amore finisce” (#59, “When love ends”) and “Alibi” (#60). Other debuts are “Übermorgen” (#68, “The day after tomorrow”) by Mark Forster, “Ein letztes Mal” (#69, “One last time”) by Elif, “Ein Wort” (#71, “One word”) by Emma-Mo, “I still love you” (#82) by Abby Anderson, “Irgendwann” (#86) by ela., “Love you sober” (#87) by RHODES, “Over your head” (#96) by Cierra Ramirez, “Worst I ever had” (#97) by Sunday Rose, “Dance with me” (#98) by Holly Alison feat. Boy Soda and “Temporary” (#99) by JHart.
