Week 793 – May 16th, 2026

Last week there hadn’t been any chart due to personal reasons. If you’re following me on last.fm you will have noticed that I hadn’t listened to music in this week. Now I’m returning with a new #1. Ayane did her the last step with “ごめんね“ (#1, “I’m sorry”). For the first time in history there is a song in Japanese topping my chart. Maybe it’s an outliar, but who knows. The only thing I know is that I’m late on the hype train for this song as it was originally released in 2024. After only one week at the top “Daydream” (#2) by Wendy had to step back. Also, down one spot is former #1 “Dance alone” (#3) by Zior Park. The rest of the Top 5 is holding its spot. So in at #4 is “Like you better” by fromis_9 and at #5 is former #1 “To love somebody” by Holly Humberstone.
Topping the 2nd half of the Top 10 is “Moonlight” (#6) by Jung Soyeon. “Moonlight” is her first solo appearance on my chart and if this song is rising as fast as it did in the previous weeks it will top my chart in the very near future. I absolutely love this one. Up two spots is Austrian singer Esther Graf with her song “Wie schön” (#7, “How beautiful”). Next in line is former #1 “Fremdknutschen” (#8, “Snog someone else”) by Anaïs’ which is now the 4th highest ranked song on my chart which has topped my chart. This one is followed by another new one in the Top 10. Holly Humberstone entered this part with the title track of her 2nd album. “Cruel world” is in at #9. Rounding out this week’s Top 10 is “Nirgendwen” (#10) with Esther Graf x NESS

The greatest gainer is the album cut “Stay a little longer” (#54) by Rosie after climbing up 23 spots. Sadley, she hasn’t released this one as a regular single, but I personally see a very good future for this one. Four spots behind you can find this week’s highest debut. It is the title track from the K-Drama Perfect Crown. “My Pace” (#58) is the solo debut by BIBI. Back in 2022 I charted her as featured act on the YENA song “Smiley”. Two more songs from this K-Drama made their debut in this week’s chart. “Go on” by KiiiKiii is in at #74. They also just entered my Top 20 with “Dancing alone” (#19). The other one “Everglow” (#80) by Woodz. There are some other songs from K-Dramas debuting in this week’s edition too. Alexander Stewart is in with “Home” (#78) from the K-Drama Filling for love. NAYEON from TWICE entered the chart with “Love is enough” (#82) which is from the K-Drama Sold out on you.

Other debuts are “Not like a movie” (#90) by H1-Key, “XO, my cyberlove” (#94) by CHUU, “It was love” (#95) by LATENCY, “Confetti” (#96) by MiSaMo – this is a sub-unit of the South Korean girl group TWICE which is formed by the Japanese members – and “抖一抖” (#98, “Shake”) by LUVSSI.
