Week 502 – October 10th, 2020

To describe this week’s chart I can use this sentence: There is a little bit of Taylor Swift here and there is a little bit of Taylor Swift there. And yes this only means that the fifth song by her is entering the Top 10. So 50 % of the songs in my Top 10 at the moment are songs by her two albums “Folklore” and “Lover”. Let’s start with her highest ranked song. For a 2nd week in a row “Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince” (#1) is shining bright at the top. New at the runner’s up spot and ready for a takeover is “Midnight sky” (#2) by Miley Cyrus. This song is caught between the actual and the former Taylor Swift #1. So “Cardigan” (#3) dropped one spot and is now rounding out the Top 3. Also down one spot is Alanis Morissette with “Reckoning” (#4). And last but not least within the Top 5 is former #1 “Sad song” (#5) by Liam Gallagher.

The next three songs in a row are all by Taylor Swift. So knocking at the door to the Top 5 is her duet with Bon Iver. “Exile” (#6) which is followed by “Paper rings” (#7) after swapping spots for this edition. And new in the Top 10 is my country #1 “Betty” (#8), but this one isn’t the only new song in the Top 10. The other one is “Ablaze” (#10) by Alanis Morissette. For that she has now two songs within the Top 10. Between these new songs in the Top 10 is Pink’s duet with Wrabel. Unfortunately “90 days” (#9) dropped one spot.

Last week Emma was awarded with the greatest gainer of the week for both of her songs climbing up 18 spots. This week she is again awarded, but both of her songs climbed up 19 spots. Therefore you can find “Mascara” at #22 and “Latina” at #23. I don’t need a crystal ball to predict that these two songs are candidates for a Top 10 spot in the very near future. As last week the highest debut failed to enter the Top 50, but as for this week all the debuts are from Germany or Austria. The highest ranked debut is by Austrian singer Ina Regen. In her song “Macarena” she is dealing with the suicidal of a youth friend. The title itself – I know you’ve guessed it – is a reference to the 1990’s hit by Los Del Rio which I by the way didn’t like. On the other hand I really like Ina Regen’s song and her performance at the Amadeus Austrian Music Award. As I like another song with this theme earlier this year (Lewis Capaldi – Before you go) you better should have this one on your shortlist for next week’s greatest gainer of the week.

Other debuts are “Sommerwind” (#58, “Summer wind”) by Vanessa Mai, “Leichter” (#59, “Easier”) by Revolverheld, “Beifahrersitz” (#83, “Passenger seat”) by LEA & Majan, “Augen zu” (#84, “Eyes closed”) by Elif & Samra, “Time out” (#91) by Gentleman, “Cambodia” (#92) by Anna-Sophie and “Bratislava” (#98) by Freude.
