Year-End Review 2018 - 50 - 41

50 – 41

		international	note
50		no success	One Bit feat. Louisa Johnson – Between you and me Points: 1147.0 Peak: #7 Weeks: 19 Album: - Airplay: #56 British DJ’s One Bit teamed up with singer Louisa Johnson who rose to fame during the 12th season of X-Factor UK. Back in 2017 she had a smaller hit with the Olly Murs duet “Unpredictable”. "Between you and me" is their first year-end Top 100 hit, but I’m not sure if they ever will end in this spheres.
49		#16 #59	LEA feat. Cyril – Immer wenn wir uns sehn Points: 1159.6 Peak: #7 Weeks: 18 Album: Soundtrack: Das schönste Mädchen der Welt Airplay: #54 Music from movies can hardly be found on my chart, but every now and then there is a song which found its way into my year-end Top 100. In 2018 it had been a song from the German YA movie “Das schönste Mädchen der Welt” (“The most beautiful girl of the world”). For German singer LEA and actor Aaron Hilmer as Cyril it had been their biggest hit so far.
48		no success	Kate Voegele – Leave me Hollywood Points: 1167.6 Peak: #8 Weeks: 22 Album: Canyonlands Airplay: #44 Here is she again. This time Kate Voegele placed her album cut “Leave me Hollywood” directly in my year-end Top 50. It is a good song from her – as always –, but she had done better in 2018 than with this song.
47		no success	Leony – Boots Points: 1170.5 Peak: #10 Weeks: 20 Album: - Airplay: #37 A small town German girl was signed to Sony Music Australia. Why isn’t she signed to Sony Music Germany? She has the talent, but so far only some people in Australia have discovered her talent. Unfortunately her 2nd single “Boots” failed to reach the international charts. On my chart she peaked in my Top 10 and I hope that there will be some more songs be her in the future.
46		no success	Leslie Clio – In and out Points: 1177.3 Peak: #6 Weeks: 21 Album: Purple Airplay: #51 Over the years Leslie Clio proofed that she has star material in her pocket. As I pointed out before her album “Purple” isn’t as good as her “Eureka”-album, but “In and out” is a good song and it reached #6 where it peaked in May.
45		#41	Annalisa – Bye bye Points: 1199.8 Peak: #7 Weeks: 20 Album: Bye bye Airplay: #41 Annalisa is Emma’s biggest concurrence from Italy on my chart. Although “Bye bye” had only been a smaller hit in her home country on my chart this song peaked at #7. So it is her 2nd best song in this review with her #1 song to come.
44		#6 #10 #7 #1	Sigrid – Strangers Points: 1211.1 Peak: #5 Weeks: 22 Album: Side A EP Airplay: #30 Norwegian singer Sigrid started her career back in 2017 with “Don’t kill my vibe” (I never charted this song). In 2018 she had her biggest hit so far. “Strangers” reached #10 in the UK and on my chart she did a little bit better with reaching #5 in March. At the moment this is her only chart hit, but I’m sure that there will be at least one more song which I’ll chart.
43		no success	Lost Kings feat. Norma Jean Martine – When we were young Points: 1221.9 Peak: #4 Weeks: 19 Album: - Airplay: #62 Norma Jean Martine is a regular guest on my chart since the release of her debut album. In 2018 she was featured on several collaborations. One had been with US DJ’s Lost Kings. Their song “When we were young” – it is no cover of the Adele song – worked well for me and reached #4 back in July.
42		#6	Amy Shark – I said hi Points: 1239.5 Peak: #7 Weeks: 21 Album: Love monster Airplay: #53 For me Amy Shark came out of nowhere. In Australia she had a hit with “Adore” back in 2016. When I first listened to “I said hi” I thought that this song isn’t nothing special. But a 2nd listen lead this song to a chart debut back in May 2018. In July “I said hi” peaked at #7.
41		#52 #50 #67	Matt Simons – We can do better Points: 1242.1 Peak: #7 Weeks: 22 Album: - Airplay: #48 Sometimes US singers only have success in Europe. One of these singers is Matt Simons. Back in 2015 he had a big hit with “Catch & release” when it was remixed by Dutch DJ’s Deepend. In 2018 he returned strong with “We can do better”. On my chart this song reached #7 which is now his best chart position.

Week 412 – January 19th, 2019

This week Clara Mae’s “Sorry for writing all the songs about you” (#2) dropped one spot. So it is clear that I’ve a new #1. It is “Nada” (#1) by Shakira. This song is also the first #1 in Spanish I’ve. Still at #3 is “Tell me it’s over” by Avril Lavigne. It’s only a matter of time when this song takes over. Or will it be “Nothing breaks like a heart” (#4) by Mark Ronson feat. Miley Cyrus? Both songs have a realistic chance and at the moment I’m not sure which one I will choose. Next in line is another non-mover. “Mondiale” (#5, “World”) by Emma is now in its 11th week on chart, but her I’m seeing the end of its Top 10 run coming soon.

Up one spot is “Thank you” (#6) by German star Lena. Over the years she had several hits and “Traffic lights” is her signature song for me. “Thank you” could reach my Top 5 by next week, but the #1 spot isn’t as realistic as for other songs. For Austrian DJ Parov Stelar and singer Nikki Williams 2019 on my chart couldn’t start better. This week they climbed up three spots with “Trouble” (#7). Also up one spot is “The less I know” (#8) by Topic feat. Alexander Tidebrink. On their way out of my Top 10 are “I don’t wanna love you anymore” (#9) by LANY and “Head above water” (#10) by Avril Lavigne.

As predicted last week Swiss duo Steiner & Madlaina are sprinting up the chart with their song “Das schöne Leben” (#31, “The beautiful life”). This week they climbed up 34 spots. It’s nice gone for them. This week’s highest debut is a cover of the classic “Genie in a bottle” by Christina Aguilera. Since years Scott Bradlee is releasing cover songs with different musicians. Three months ago he released the cover of this song with singer Brielle von Hugel. Their 60’s style cover debuts at #72. It isn’t they only cover song by Scott Bradlee which found its way into my chart. The other one is “Feel it still” (#91). The original song by Portugal. The Man never found its way into my chart, but I really like this version of this song which is another 60’s style cover. The vocals are by Joey Cook, Adanna Duru and Nina Ann Nielson. Other debuts are “Even so” (#85) by Luna, “Punk right now” (#86) by Hyo & 3Lau, “You come first” (#87) by Zak Abel feat. Saweetie, “Shy” (#92) by Emmaline, “Closure” (#94) by Brielle von Hugel, “Pa’ mala yo” (#95, “For the bad me”) by Natti Natasha and “Different story” (#97) by INTRN.
