Week 513 – December 26th, 2020

Last Christmas I gave you … No I'm not starting with Wham!. I'm starting as every week with this week's #1. For three weeks Italian singer Emma topped the chart with her song "Mascara" (#3) which dropped two spots in this week's edition. This made the way free for a new #1 on this last counting chart for the year-end review 2020. Unfortunately for all listeners who are only listing to songs in English my #1 is still a song in Italian. Italian singer Annalisa is topping the chart for the first time with her recent single "Tsunami" (#1) which climbed up four spots. So in 2020 Italian songs topped my chart for now seven weeks. Still in the hunt is "Lovesick girls" (#2) by Blackpink. German Leolixl with "Vielleicht verliebt" (#4, "Maybe in love") and Kygo & Donna Summer with "Hot stuff" (#5) dropped one spot.

Directly behind the Top 5 is German rap singer badmómzjay. Her song "Supernove" (#8) climbed up two spots and if you believe that this a rap song I've to point out that she isn't rapping on this particular song. Next in line and also up two spots are LANY with their song "Heart won't let me" (#8). Emma still has two songs in the Top 10. Regrettably not only "Mascara" dropped two spots also "Latina" (#8) dropped two spots. Former #1 "Midnight sky" (#9) by Miley Cyrus is also on its way out of the Top 10 after dropping two spots in this week's edition. The only new song in the Top 10 is by German Céline. Her single "Überall" (#10, "Everywhere") climbed up three spots.

I really believe that most of you are astonished that Taylor Swift's new single "Willow" (#23) failed to enter the Top 10. Sure she can't be found in this part of the chart, but "Willow" is the greatest gainer of the week after climbing up 20 spots in its 2nd week on chart. The highest debut goes to US-newcomer Rosie Darling. Her debut single is a clear statement for her love of LANY. In the refrain she is singing "Smoking cheap pre-rolls and listening to LANY". I don't smoke, but I love LANY too (by the way I listened to them more than 1000 times in the last two years). So when I first heard "Coping" (#46) I knew that I like this song and maybe this is at least her breakthrough for me. The 2nd best new entry is by Harry Styles & Selena Gomez. And no their new entry isn't an actual single. I found a mashup by Deep End Mashups where Harry Styles "Falling" and Selena Gomez's "Lose you to love me" ended up as "Falling to love me" (#73). I like both songs and I like this mashup so it is definitely no surprise to chart this one too. I've to point out that I waited for a long time before charting this one, because early this year I also charted Kina Grannis' cover of "Lose you to love me" (peaked in the Top 10) when the original version was still in the Top 10.

Other debuts are "Beyond the pale" (#78), "Fine fine fine" (#79) and "Dirt in my eyes" (#80) by Cold War Kids, "Following the sun" (#89) by Super-Hi & Neeka – part of the group Neeka is British singer Katy Tiz who had a big hit in 2015 with "Whistle (while you work it)" –, "Forever" (#90) by Fletcher, "Viel zu jung" (#95, "Much too young"), "Magic" (#96) by Royal Republic, "Kiss you anyway" (#96) by Lucy Scholl and "Hung up on you" (#98) by Troy Cartwright.
