Week 616 – December 17th, 2022

Once again Taylor Swift is celebrating at the top of the chart with “Anti-Hero” (#1). For now five weeks this song is topping the chart, but there is an end in sight. New in the Top 3 are two songs. First to mention is the climb of five spots by German singer 1986zig. His song “Danke” (#2) from his recently released debut album “Zweite Chance” (“Second chance”) is his 1st song in the Top 3 and has definitely a chance to reach to top spot, if … . Yes there is a big if, because of the fact there is a new entry directly in the Top 3. It is the 2nd time in 2022 that a song is entering the Top 5 in this debut week. The first time in 2022 had been in September when Juli returned and debuted at #5 with “Fette wilde Jahre” (#9, “Big wild years”). Later this song topped the chart for four weeks. This week German rap singer JuJu debuted in the Top 3 with her recent single “Nie wieder sehen” (#3, “Never see again”). This is the first time since 2019 when she reached #6 with “Hi babe” and also #6 with “Vermissen” (“Miss”) feat. Henning May. Most of her other songs failed to enter my chart. “Nie wieder sehen” could be her 1st #1 on my chart late in 2022 or early in 2023. Next in line are “Ghost of you” (#4) by Mimi Webb and last week’s runner-up “Reckless” (#5) by Morgan Wade.

Up three spots and on its way into the Top 5 is “Girl at home” (#6) by Taylor Swift. Dropping out of the Top 3 is “Talking to yourself” (#7) by Carly Rae Jepsen. I still love this song, but there are only a handful of weeks in the Top 10 in the pocket for this song. Generally, this song is caught between two songs by Taylor Swift. The other one is “Bejeweled” (#8). Two former #1’s are rounding out this week’s Top 10. The higher ranked one is the mentioned “Fette wilde Jahre”. The other one is “Clean” (#10) by Pale Waves.

Two songs are awarded with the award for the greatest gainer of the week. The higher ranked one is by singer/actress Dylan Conrique. Her song “Get over you” (#27) climbed up 13 spots to reach the Top 30. The other one is “Fieber” (#64, “Fever”) by Nina Chuba. Between these two songs you can find the 2nd highest debut which is “Creepin’” (#47) by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd & 21 Savage. This debut is definitely one you couldn’t have expected, but I really like what they did with “I don’t wanna know”. For Metro Boomin and 21 Savage this is their chart debut although they had hits since the early 2010’s, but normally their songs aren’t my cup of tea.

Other debuts are “The night” (#71) and “The night (Part 2)” (#72) by Morgan Wade, “Sag nie wieder” (#81, “Never say again”) by Alexander Eder feat. Franzi Harmsen, “Sail away” (#82) by lovelytheband, “Tolerate it” (#86) and “’tis the damn season” (#87) by Taylor Swift, “Krush” (#90, “Crush”) by KeKe, “Sober” (#91) by jxdn, “Sterne” (#92, “Stars”) by Sido feat. Bozza, “Get on my love” (#96) by Picture This and “Blind” (#98) by Emil Weisband.
