Week 509 – November 28th, 2020

Thankfully 2020 is going fast to an end, but with one month to go there is still music in 2020 to discover. Let’s start again with the Top 10. K-Pop stars Blackpink are still dominating with their super catchy “Lovesick girls” (#1). When I first listened to K-Pop songs nearly 10 years ago I never thought that this kind of songs will ever end at the top of my personal chart. As the time went on I charted more or less regularly these songs and so I’m only surprised that it took so long until Blackpink or another K-Pop artist did this final step. Directly behind this K-Pop song you can find a song in Italian by my favourite singer out of Italy. Emma climbed up one spot with her album cut “Mascara” (#2) from “Fortuna”. New in the Top 3 are Kygo & Donna Summer with their recent single “Hot stuff”. Nice to see how these remixes by Kygo work and hopefully he is doing more such good covers. Down two spots is Kesha with her single “Little bit of love”. For me this is a good comeback, but I doubt that she will do this on a regular basis. While “Mascara” climbed up one spot her other Top 10 hit “Latina” (#5) climbed up two spots which means that Emma now has two songs within the Top 5.

“Midnight sky” (#6) by Mily Cyrus is still holding its spot although the signs show the direction to leave the Top 10 in the very near future. The last week’s young French singer Wejdene attacked the Top 3 with her catchy song “Coco” (#7). This week this song dropped three spots and so it is also on the way out of the Top 10. German singer Leolixl is non-moving with her song “Vielleicht verliebt” (#8, “Maybe in love”). Also non-moving is “Macarena” (#9) by Austrian singer Ina Regen. Up one spot and into the Top 10 is Scottish singer Bow Anderson. Her song “Island” (#10) is the first song by a Scottish artist in this part of the chart since Lewis Capaldi’s #1 “Before you go” earlier this year.

Sometimes I’m not the fastest in charting songs which are becoming hits. This time a song by a German DJ has become the victim of this factor. Tino Piontek is releasing songs since 2012 as Purple Disco Machine and failed to gain attention. In the middle of 2020 he released his latest single “Hypnotized” (#44) with British act Sophie and the Giants who are also relatively unknown. Back in these days I gave this song a listen, but it failed to impress me. Over the summer I heard this song in the radio, but I still decided not to give this song a real chance until now. With this week I jump on the bandwagon for this song too and so “Hypnotized” got its debut within the Top 50.

Other debuts are “Mejor que tú” (#58) and “Stupid” (#77) by Aitana, “Break your heart worse” (#85) by Crimson Apple, “Forever ain’t enough” (#86) by Ronan Keating, “No more” (#87) by CARYS, “Year of the young” (#88) by Smith & Thell, “Devil you don’t” (#93) by CXLOE, “Just like I knew you” (#94) by Lauren Hall, “Thelma and Louise” (#96) by Anna Bergendahl and “Just about over you” (#97) by Priscilla Block.
