Week 703 – August 17th, 2024

Last year German singer Clueso had a #1 hit with “Du und L.A.”. This year he returns at the top spot with the song “Für immer jetzt” (#1, “Forever now”). “Für immer jetzt” is his 3rd chart topping hit although he is definitely no core artist of mine. This song swapped the spot with “Wolke 8” (#2, “Cloud 8”) by Becks. Still in the Top 3 is “Ein Lied” (#3) by Austrian Esther Graf. Just bought her album “Happy worstday” so she should do well in the future too. Next in line is “It’s a problem” (#4) by AVEC which is now getting some airplay on my favourite radio station. Up two spots and new in the Top 5 is another single by Esther Graf. It is “Background check” (#5).

Dropping out of the Top 5 is former #1 hit “Narcissists” (#6) by TAELA. This song is followed by two more former #1 hits. The higher ranked one is “Jugendpoesie” (#7, “Youth poetry”) by Tagtraeumer & Tina Naderer. The other one is “CLICK BOOM!” (#8) by Rose Villain. Rouding out this week’s Top 10 are two new songs in this part of the chart. Reaching this part it is US country singer Kelsea Ballerini with her song “I guess they call it fallin’” (#9). She is also debuting with her latest single “Sorry mom” (#84) down the chart. The other new song is “Us.” (#10) by Gracie Abrams feat. Taylor Swift. For Gracie Abrams “Us.” is her 1st hit in the Top 10.

After several weeks there is a new artist awarded with the greatest gainer of the week. It is Mimi Webb with her song “Erase you” (#34) after climbing up 27 spots. Directly behind you can find the highest debut. This is definitely a surprise. The last time this act charted had been back in 2012 with “Runaways” which peaked in the Top 10 at #8. Now they are back on my chart with their song “Bright lights” (#35). Here I hope that this song will also reach this part. The 2nd best debut is also unexpected. It is the duet between Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Their song “Die with a smile” is in at #37 and should do well too.

Other debuts are “Pink skies” (#77) by Zach Bryan, “Gravity” (#79) by Pale Waves, “Shimmer in your eye” (#80) by Occasional Dreams, “Mona Lisa on a mattress” (#81) by Bishop Briggs, “Mein Type” (#87, “My type”) by Matterz, “Bad childhood” (#88) by Letdown., “Can’t keep her” (#92) by Amanda Jordan, “Loving me lover” (#94) by Amy Shark, “Mine for the summer” (#95) by Jameson Rodgers, “Hate being alone” (#97) by Dagny and “If looks could kill” (#98) by Chrissy Costanza.
