Singles Top40

Spoiler!

The impact of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 is still far from over and even though several entries are already declining, some of them are still reaching new peaks. This years contest was already the first to produce more than two number one hits on the weekly charts since its invention back in 2007, as Eden’s Set Me Free became the fourth top hit last week (down 1-3 this week). The 2021 edition extends its lead now, as Go_A’s Shum (Шум) suddenly jumps 9-1 to become the fifth number one single from the contest this year. Additionally, Go_A becomes the first artist from Ukraine to top the weekly charts ever, and as if this isn’t already enough, Shum (Шум) also gets certified with Gold this week.

The Top3 gets completed by the first of five new entries this week, as German Pop princess Lena released Strip, which is supposed to be the lead single to her upcoming, yet untitled sixth studio album. Lena won the Eurovision Song Contest for Germany back in 2010 and has become a true hit maker ever since, with Strip becoming her 15th chart entry and already 11th to peak inside the Top2.

Other Eurovision entries this week: Besides Go_A and Eden, there are another four entries from this years contest still in the Top10. First up is Efendi with Mata Hari, that keeps doing really well and dips 2-4 this week. Next on the list is a rather surprising climber, as Måneskin‘s Zitti e buoni jumps 24-8 following its arrival last week. The Italian Rock band won the contest this year and despite doing so, their winning title only entered the charts in the lower half last week, and it looks like it only needed some time to really shine. Destiny’s Je me casse (10-9) and Elena Tsagrinou’s El diablo (4-10) are the other Eurovision tracks in the Top10. Senhit’s Adrenalina (4-11), Gjon’s Tears‘ Tout l’univers (16-14), Stefania’s Last Dance (11-16) and Blind Channel’s Dark Side (13-20) bring the amount of Eurovision entries in the Top20 to an impressive 10!

There are even more entries in the lower half, as a total of 21 Eurovision tracks are still on the Singles Top40. Barbara Pravi’s Voilà jumps 32-23 for a new peak, with Tusse’s Voices (22-25), Benny Cristo’s Omaga (20-27), Montaigne’s Technicolour (18-29), Manizha’s Russian Woman (23-30), Natalia Gordienko’s Sugar (26-31), Hooverphonic’s The Wrong Place (25-32), Roxen’s Amnesia (27-34), Hurricane’s Loco Loco (35-35), Tix‘ Fallen Angel (29-38) and The Roop’s Discoteque (33-40) making the Eurovision craziness complete.

Other new and re-entries this week: Lena may have the best debut by far this week, but there are a further three new entries in the lower half of the Top20. First up is Israeli singer-songwriter Dennis Lloyd, who arrives at #13 with The Way, not only his seventh chart entry, but also his seventh Top20 hit. Following a bunch of successful chart hits all over the world, Dua Lipa promotes yet another single from her second album Future Nostalgia, called Love Again. The track debuts at #17, being already her 22nd chart notation and already the eighth Top20 hit coming from Future Nostalgia (or ninth, if Prisoner by Miley Cyrus is included). Joining them is Billie Eilish, who starts at #19 with Lost Cause. Even though she still scores Top20 arrivals, none of the singles from her upcoming second album Happier Than Ever really became a hit so far. Much lower and following some success on the Bubbling Under chart, Anne-Marie & Niall Horan’s Our Song finally finds its way onto the main chart at #33 this week. Even though Our Song is promoted as a single for Anne-Marie’s upcoming new album, its entry is more of an event for Niall Horan, as the former One Direction member has scored a chart entry in every year since making his solo debut with This Town in 2016 – he’s the only One Direction member who has achieved that. Finally, there’s also a re-entry, as Blackmore’s Night’s Second Element comes back to #28.

Other talking points this week: It’s a good week for some songs to reach new heights on the charts. Besides the already mentioned increases for Måneskin‘s Zitti e buoni or Barbara Pravi’s Voilà, the lucky ones are MØ, who rises 8-5 with Live To Survive, and Olivia Rodrigo, who scores her first Top30 hit as Good 4 U ascends 34-26. There are further good news for Evanescence, as their former top hit Better Without You gets certified with Gold this week (21-24), becoming their second Gold certified hit from their current album The Bitter Truth.

Måneskin‘s Zitti e buoni is the biggest climber while Priyanka’s Cake drops 15-39 as the biggest loser this week.

Album Top20

Spoiler!

Following a first impact from their virtual live shows last week, Nightwish benefits even more from their first live show in a while as their latest album HUMAN. :||: NATURE. rises back up 3-1, for an impressive 12th week atop the album charts, now tying Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die as the longest running number one album ever. The album is charting for an also impressive 61 weeks now, with all but six having been in the Top10, and those six weeks outside the upper half were always at #11. If the album continues to perform this well, it may be a contender for the most successful album ever - but it’s still a long road to go there, as former Nightwish singer Anette Olzon has it with her solo debut album Shine, that spent an incredible 121 weeks on the album charts and is currently certified with 7x Platinum. Besides HUMAN. :||: NATURE., the Finnish Symphonic Metal band gets two more entries, as their two live releases Decades: Live In Buenos Aires (#10) and Showtime, Storytime (#19) re-enter the charts.

It was a rather close race for the top spot this week, as the Eurovision Song Contest still goes strong and just produced yet another top hit on the Singles Top40 - so its compilation also keeps doing exceptionally well, but dips 1-2 this week. Interestingly, Nightwish’s HUMAN. :||: NATURE. is the longest running album of 2021 with five weeks at #1 now, and if the compilation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021would have been on top for another week, it actually would have gotten that title with five weeks as well, plus it would have been the longest running compilation ever.

Completing the Top3 is another Eurovision related act and the first of two new arrivals. Måneskin’s victory is still fresh and even though their winning title Zitti e buoni was far from being a hit from the get go, the song seems to take off on the Singles Top40 now and their latest album Teatro d’ira - Vol. 1 also proves to be a hit by arriving at #3 this week. The album contains I Wanna Be Your Slave, which gets a stellar debut on the Bubbling Under chart this week. Teatro d’ira - Vol. 1 also becomes the highest peaking album for an Eurovision winner since Jamala’s 1944 topped the charts in mid 2016.

Other new entries this week: Just one more to go and that’s Mamamoo. The K-Pop group released a new EP called WAW that enters the charts at #14 - an improvement over the #18 peak of their previous EP Travel (2020), but still not as high as the #8 peak of their album Reality In Black (2019).

Other talking points this week: Even though there were some Pop highlights in 2021 so far, Rock and all of its different sub genres is definitely the star of the year so far, with Nightwish, but also Evanescence’ The Bitter Truth (9-9) or Epica’s Omega (ex #19) being great examples. Being a dark horse for the album of the year title is also from a Rock sub genre: Blackmore’s Night’s Nature’s Light. The Medieval Rock band’s latest album has been charting in the Top10 for over three months now and even recovers 6-4 this week, plus the set also gets certified with Platinum as the first release of 2021 doing so. Further shoutouts go to Stefanie Heinzmann’s Labyrinth (10-11) and Hooverphonic’s Hidden Stories (8-13) for leaving the Top10 for their first time, while Shaed can improve a little with their High Dive (14-12).

Bubbling Under

Spoiler!

Most of the Bubbling Under chart is new as there’s been a lot going on, with a few album tracks making a splash, but also several singles that weren’t far away of entering the Singles Top40 having to settle down for this list instead.

The new leader comes from Italian Eurovision winners Måneskin. While their winning entry Zitti e buoni is slowly becoming a hit on My Charts, but also has been doing really well on the charts out there, their track I Wanna Be Your Slave might be the one to watch out. The track has been an immediate surprise hit on the streaming charts since their victory, and with their latest album Teatro d’ira - Vol. 1 arriving on the Album Top20 this week, I Wanna Be Your Slave immediately makes a big impact on the Bubbling Under chart now by arriving at #1.

Nightwish may be a non-event on the singles charts for months now, but their latest album HUMAN. :||: NATURE. has been doing incredible well on the album charts ever since its release in April 2020. The band experiences a big boost on the album charts due to their virtual shows this week, and those concerts also bring two songs to the Bubbling Under chart now. First up is The Greatest Show On Earth, originally from their album Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015), a 24 minute length epos that finally debuts at #2. The song is mainly driven from the live version on Decades: Live In Buenos Aires though. Next up is Shoemaker from their current album, a song that has been doing well on this list in the past and returns to #5 now.

The third highest debut on the list is a song that was newly released as a single, but didn’t quite make it onto the main charts. It’s by CHVRCHES, who will release a new album soon and debut at #3 with the Robert Smith assisted How Not To Drown. Also being new single releases on the list are U Love U by blackbear & Tate McRae (#4), Reckless by Madison Beer (#6), Chance by Hayley Kiyoko (#8) and God Save This Queen by Drag Race UK star Bimini (#9).

The Bubbling Under chart gets completed by The Veronica’s High Score (4-7) and Hooverphonic’s Full Moon Duel (2-10).

I didn't rate all ESC songs in this year, but possibly all your # 1s (Ukraine, Malta, Israel) will be in my bottom 3.

Maybe I didn't hear some Lena singles, but "Strip" is her first song, which I like since "Satellite" and "My Cassette Player" from a debut album. Also I love her "Shake It Off" cover.

[heppolo]

"Shum" is the real-life hypnosis.
"I Wanna Be Your Slave" is very Arctic Monkeys meets Royal Blood or something like this.

Oh, it looks like our tastes are completely different not only when it comes to Eurovision, but also with Lena, as I don't really like that Shake It Off cover and thought her music on her debut album wasn't as good as on her other albums

It is! So cool how this song has been blowing up lately - well deserved for Ukraine / Go_A!

Very fitting comparison. I love how this has started to randomly take off and becomes even more successful than Zitti e buoni. Especially pleased since most Eurovision winners are successful for like 2-3 weeks and that's it, so it's nice to see an ESC winning artist actually getting hit(s).

My Charts - week 23/2021 – 11 june 2021 - Everytime I Cry In A Modern Land

Singles Top40

Spoiler!

It’s been over a half year since Ava Max released her last single My Head & My Heart, the longest break for her ever since she broke through with Sweet But Psycho back in 2018. This week, the Pop singer finally released a brand new single called Everytime I Cry, and less surprisingly, the track immediately debuts at #1. It’s already her 14th chart notation and seventh top hit following Salt, Alone, Pt. II with Alan Walker, Kings & Queens, Who’s Laughing Now, OMG What’s Happening and My Head & My Heart, with Kings & Queens being her longest running number one track so far with four weeks. All of those except for Salt also debuted right atop the list, making Ava one of the most successful hit makers from the past three years.

The second highest new arrival of the week also makes it to the Top3 and that’s a more surprising one – and a comeback! New Zealand songstress Lorde has released two very successful albums with Pure Heroine (2013) and Melodrama (2017) so far and following another break of four years, she finally released Solar Power as the lead single to an upcoming third album this week. Solar Power debuts at #3 and through that, it immediately becomes Lorde’s highest peaking charts appearance ever, surpassing the #6 peaking Green Light (2017). Overall, Solar Power is Lorde’s eighth chart notation and sixth Top10 entry, as Royals (#9), Team (#9), Magnets with Disclosure (#10) and Homemade Dynamite (#9) also reached that part of the charts.

Go_A’s Shum (Шум) dips 1-2 and completes the Top3.

Other new entries this week: There are a total of eight debuts on the charts this week, so still six more to go and next up is Marina. The singer has released her fifth studio album Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land this week and while its title song still goes strong (7-5), Marina chose Venus Fly Trap as the fourth single to go alongside the album release and the track debuts at #10 this week. While it’s already the fourth Top10 hit from the album (and third to peak at #10, as Man’s World and Purge The Poison did so too), it’s Marina’s 17th chart entry and 12th Top10 hit overall. 2021 seems to be a comeback year, as Jessie J also returns with new music. The British singer hasn’t released new music since 2018, when she put out her R.O.S.E. project, but also the Christmas album This Christmas Day. I Want Love is the name of her new track and with its arrival at #12, it becomes Jessie J’s 20th chart notation and even 19th to make the Top20.

Italian Eurovision star Mahmood is up next, as he just released his second studio album Ghettolimpo this week that also brings his new single Kobra to the charts (#13). Even though the Eurovision runner-up track Soldi was a nice hit for him (#8 in 2019), his debut album failed to enter the Album Top20, so the impact of Ghettolimpo is rather unexpected. Kobra also becomes his second highest peaking track ever, only behind Soldi obviously. Another album release boost goes to Maroon 5, as the band released their new set Jordi that brings its new single Lost onto the charts at #14. It’s their highest peaking appearance since Sugar hit the Top10 back in 2014. Furthermore, the album charts seems rather busy this week as Todrick Hall also owns a new entry there and just like Marina, Mahmood and Maroon 5, Todrick’s album release also brings a single to the Singles Top40. It’s called Rainin‘ Fellas and debuts at #20, being only Todrick’s second appearance following the #3 peaking Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels from 2019. Finally, Swiss Pop-Folk band 77 Bombay Street own the final new entry as their Karaoke Girl debuts at #38.

Other Eurovision entries this week: With Eden’s Set Me Free (3-7), Efendi’s Mata Hari (4-9), Måneskin’s Zitti e buoni (8-11), Destiny’s Je me casse (9-15), Elena Tsagrinou’s El diablo (10-17), Stefania’s Last Dance (16-22), Gjon’s Tears‘ Tout l’univers (14-23), Senhit’s Adrenalina (11-25), Blind Channel’s Dark Side (20-26), Tusse’s Voices (25-27), Montaigne’s Technicolour (29-32), Natalia Gordienko’s Sugar (31-34), Hooverphonic’s The Wrong Place (32-35), Roxen’s Amnesia (34-36), Manizha’s Russian Woman (30-39) and Hurricane’s Loco Loco (35-40), most Eurovision entries are falling down the charts now and some of them even have some bigger drops, though most entries in the lower half still hold up relatively well. There’s one exception, as Barbara Pravi’s Voilà rises 23-18 and reaches the upper half of the charts for the first time. Also Eurovision related are Keiino, who also have a big drop for their latest single Summer Of My Life (18-37). Despite a good debut position and a few weeks in the Top20, it looks like this will be their first song that doesn’t turn into a bigger hit.

Other talking points this week: Following getting his second worst debut so far, The Way still proves to be a hit for Dennis Lloyd as it jumps 13-4 this week. It joins Never Go Back, Unfaithful (both #2 in 2019), Alien (#1 in 2020) and Anxious (#3 earlier this year) as his fifth Top10 hit. There are further good news for Olivia Rodrigo, as Good 4 U rises 26-16 to become her first Top20 hit, while Blackmore’s Night’s Second Element may dip 28-31, but gets certified with Gold this week. It’s already the third single from their current album to get certified following Once Upon December (Platinum) and Four Winds (Gold).

Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U is the biggest climber while Lena’s Strip drops 2-29 as the biggest loser this week.

Album Top20

Spoiler!

While the Eurovision Song Contest still goes strong and Nightwish still benefit a lot from their virtual shows, there are also four new arrivals and one re-entry on the Album Top20, making this a rather busy week, especially for being in the summer. One of those new entries even makes it all the way to the top this week and has been the clear standout from all new releases: Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land, the fifth studio album by Marina (or formerly known as Marina And The Diamonds). It becomes Marina’s fourth chart appearance following Electra Heart (#3 in 2012, certified with Gold), Froot (#1 in 2015, Platinum) and Love + Fear (#1 in 2019, Gold).

Nightwish’s HUMAN. :||: NATURE. dips 1-2, followed by the compilation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 that slips 2-3. Nightwish also keeps charting with Decades: Live In Buenos Aires (10-16), while their Showtime, Storytime leaves the charts again (ex #19).

Other new and re-entries this week: Next up is Todrick Hall. Following thee installments for his Haus Party series, the former American Idol contestant and RuPaul’s Drag Race judge has released a new album called Femuline this week and debuts at #4 with it. It’s his second highest appearance ever, with just Haus Party 1 having a higher peak (#3 exactly two years and a week ago), as part two of Haus Party peaked at #9 while the third part only made it to #11 earlier this year. Next in line is Mahmood and his second studio album Ghettolimpo. The Italian singer was the runner-up with Soldi at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 and even though the song has been a good hit for him, his debut album Gioventù bruciata never made it onto the Album Top20. It looks different for its follow-up Ghettolimpo, as the set arrives at #5 this week. Last but not least are Maroon 5, as their new album Jordi makes it to #6 as their third chart notation following V (#6 in 2014) and Red Pill Blues (#5 in 2017). The mentioned re-entry belongs to Ava Max, as her new single Everytime I Cry brings her debut album Heaven & Hell back to #19.

Other talking points this week: Besides the compilation and Mahmood’s new entry, there are two further Eurovision related albums on the charts this week, with Måneskin’s Taetro d’ira - Vol. I falling 3-8, and Hooverphonic’s Hidden Stories decreasing 13-17. Blackmore’s Night’s Nature’s Light (4-7) and Evanescence’ The Bitter Truth (9-10) keep hanging on in the Top10, while Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour (7-11), Twenty One Pilot’s Scaled And Icy (6-12) and Bebe Rexha’s Better Mistakes (8-13) all having to leave the upper half for their first time.

My Charts - week 23/2021 – 11 june 2021 - Everytime I Cry In A Modern Land
.

Bubbling Under

Spoiler!

Only two songs from last week are still on the Bubbling Under chart this time, as there are many single releases that didn’t make it to the main chart, plus a few album tracks that made a lot of noise this week. The charts keeps being really busy, as some songs that leave this list this week were still doing rather well.

Interestingly, it’s the album tracks that do the best on this list this week, as three of them occupy the Top3. Måneskin’s I Wanna Be Your Slave is slowly turning into a big hit on the charts out there and should be released as a proper single hopefully soon, but as for now, the song continues to do well on the Bubbling Under chart and stays on top for a second week. It’s followed by I Love You But I Love Me More of Marina’s Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land, that arrives atop the album charts this week. Even though he only has just the third highest new entry on the album charts, Italian singer Mahmood is next, as the track Karma with Woodkid debuts at #3.

From the new singles that didn’t make it to the main chart, Chain My Heart by Topic & Bebe Rexha and Need To Know by Doja Cat stood out the most and they’re debuting at #4 and at #5. Both may enter the main chart soon, especially as Bebe is usually known for scoring big hits there, while Doja Cat will released her long awaited new album Planet Her in two weeks and that may give her new single another boost. Raye’s Call On Me (#7), Yebba’s October Sky (#8), Jasmine Thompson’s Already There (#9) and James Arthur’s September (#10) all also have to settle down for an arrival on the Bubbling Under chart.

Nightwish’s The Greatest Show On Earth falls 2-6 and completes the chart.

Singles Top40

Spoiler!

Go_A are rising back to the top with Shum (Шум), this years Eurovision entry for Ukraine. The Folk-Rave track just became the record extending fifth top hit for the contest two weeks ago and with the song rising back up, it becomes the second of those with multiple weeks atop the charts, joining Destiny’s Je me casse (two weeks as well). Additionally, Shum is also the sixth number one song with multiple weeks on top this year so far, joining Keiino’s Monument, Evanescence‘ Better Without You (both three weeks), Katja Krasavice’s Friendzone and Aly & AJ’s Potential Breakup Song (both two weeks).

Go_A are followed by the highest of six debuts this week, and that’s also Eurovision related. Ever since their participation at the contest in 2019, Norwegian trio Keiino have been releasing a bunch of singles and all of them not only got high peaks, but also did rather well on the charts, including the two Platinum certified hits Spirit In The Sky and Monument, and the three Gold certified hits Praying, Black Leather and Unbreakable. Their new track is called Addjas and seems to continue their success by arriving at #2 – already Keiino’s 12th chart notation.

The second highest debut of the week completes the Top3. It’s coming from Auri, a trio consisting of Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen, his wife and singer Johanna Kurkela, and fellow Nightwish musician Troy Donockley. The trio released their self-titled debut album in early 2018, and it spawned two singles with Night 13 and The Space Between, both having topped the singles charts back then. Auri will release their second album II – Those We Don’t Speak Of in early September and just chose Pearl Diving as its first single that debuts at #3. Despite the good debut, it’s still below expectations, as a third #1 debut was expected at first.

Other new entries this week: Another season of RuPaul’s Drag Race came to end and as usual, the finalists had to do a remix for one of RuPaul’s songs and that one also got released. This time it’s the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under that ended, and New Zealand queen Kita Mean got the win, while Art Simone, Karen From Finance and Scarlet Adams all placed as runner-ups. They made a remix for I’m A Winner, that enters the charts at #4 this week as the first entry for all four contestants, but already 12th chart notation for RuPaul herself. All of her entries peaked in the Top4, with just To The Moon from late 2019 and I’m A Winner missing out on the Top3 so far. Next up is an artist who coincidentally is from Down Under, too: Amy Shark. The Australian singer-songwriter picked Worst Day Of My Life as the next single from her current album Cry Forever and the track immediately makes it to #8 as her seventh chart entry and second highest peaking track ever, as only her breakthrough hit I Said Hi made it further (#1 in mid 2018).

Still two more new entries to go and the next one isn’t far behind the Top10. American singer Banks broke through with the #2 peaking Beggin‘ For Thread back in mid 2014. Even though she has yet to score a big hit, she’s still resonsible for several moderate hits over the years and it looks like her new single The Devil may join the club. The song arrives at #12 as her 12th chart notation. Finally, Mabel owns the last debut of the week as she arrives at #26 with Let Them Know. Even though she scored two big hits all over the world with Don’t Call Me Up and Mad Love in 2019, none of those made the Singles Top40 and so Let Them Know is her first entry as a lead artist, and second overall following her feature on Clean Bandit’s Tick-Tock.

Other Eurovision entries this week: With Eden’s Set Me Free (7-16) and Efendi’s Mata Hari (9-17) leaving the Top10, Go_A’s Shum remains the only Eurovision entry in the Top10. Though beside those three, Måneskin’s winning entry Zitti e buoni is also charting in the Top20 (11-20). The impact of the contest keeps slowing down, but it still is really huge, as there are a further 11 entries in the lower half of the charts with Barbara Pravi’s Voilà (18-21), Destiny’s Je me casse (15-23), Elena Tsagrinou’s El diablo (17-24), Stefania’s Last Dance (22-25), Gjon’s Tears‘ Tout l’univers (23-28), Tusse’s Voices (27-31), Senhit’s Adrenalina (25-32), Blind Channel’s Dark Side (26-34), Montaigne’s Technicolour (32-38), Natalia Gordienko’s Sugar (34-39) and Hooverphonic’s The Wrong Place (35-40). Roxen’s Amnesia (ex #36), Manizha’s Russian Woman (ex #39) and Hurricane’s Loco Loco (ex #40) have to leave the charts.

Other talking points this week: Following her top debut a week ago, Ava Max‘ Everytime I Cry suffers from several strong new arrivals this week and already falls 1-5. It’s the biggest drop from number one for one of her top hits, Who’s Laughing Now previously held that title when it fell 1-4, though it spent two weeks atop the charts. Meanwhile, there are some fantastic news for Olivia Rodrigo, as her current hit Good 4 U keeps climbing up the charts and turns into her very first Top10 hit this week (16-9).

While Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U is the biggest climber for another week, Todrick Hall’s Rainin‘ Fellas drops 20-37 as the biggest loser.

Album Top20

Spoiler!

It’s a rather calm week with no new entries, two re-entries and for the first time in a very long time and this year, all albums that were inside the Top10 from a week ago are also in the Top10 from this week. They have a different order though and there’s not only still enough going on besides some ups and downs, there’s also a change atop the charts. Most Eurovision entries keep falling down the Singles Top40, but a few keep doing well, such as Go_A’s Shum, Eden’s Set Me Free or Efendi’s Mata Hari. Overall, the contest still has a huge impact on the singles charts even a month following the event and so it’s not the biggest surprise to see its compilation rising back up 3-1 for a fifth non-consecutive week at number one. Through that, the compilation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 leaves the 2012 and 2013 behind to become the longest running number one compilation ever and additionally, it also ties Nightwish’s HUMAN. :||: NATURE. as the longest running number one album of 2021 so far.

Marina’s Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land dips 1-2, while Blackmore’s Night’s Nature’s Light makes a surprising jump back up 7-3 to complete the Top3.

Re-entries this week: As mentioned, there are no new arrivals, but two re-entries at the bottom of the list this week. First up is Californian Soil by London Grammar, that only just left the charts last week and comes back to #17 now. The other is Auri’s self-titled debut album from 2018. The band debuts with Pearl Diving on the Singles Top40 this week, that serves as the lead single to their upcoming second studio album called II - Those We Don't Speak Of. This gives their debut album a small boost as well and brings it back to #19.

Other talking points this week: As already pointed out a few weeks ago, some albums from the Rock genre (or a sub genre from Rock) do exceptionally well on the charts in 2021 so far, with the already mentioned Nature’s Light by Blackmore’s Night being one of them. That album also became the first 2021 release to get certified with Platinum and there’s another one doing so this week and it’s also from the Rock genre: The Bitter Truth by Evanescence. The set is up 10-9 for a 13th consecutive week in the Top10 and it joins their self-titled third album Evanescence from 2011 and their Synthesis from 2017 as the band’s third Platinum certified release (though their debut Fallen and its follow-up The Open Door most likely would have been certified with Platinum as well if they were released when there was an album charts). Evanescence’ new Platinum certification isn’t the big standout of the charts this week though, as there’s another huge milestone going to fellow Rock band Nightwish and their latest album HUMAN. :||: NATURE.. The Finnish Symphonic Metal band keeps smashing the charts with the album despite already charting for 63 weeks (down 2-5), and this week, the album even gets certified with 5x Platinum for crossing 1,000 points. It joins Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster (2010), Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die (2012), Kerli’s Utopia (2013), Lindsey Stirling’s Lindsey Stirling (2013) and former Nightwish frontwoman Anette Olzon’s solo debut album Shine (2014) as just the sixth album reaching this milestone and even more impressive, the first doing so in seven years!

My Charts - week 24/2021 – 18 june 2021 - Kitschy Euro-Rave
.

Bubbling Under

Spoiler!

It’s also not the busiest week on the Bubbling Under chart this time, as just four songs are new entries, but none of them makes a big splash. Rather surprisingly, it’s Nightwish’s The Greatest Show On Earth that jumps 6-1 this week for a new peak. The song entered the list at the runner-up spot just two weeks ago.

Just two weeks following the release of The Way, Israeli singer-songwriter Dennis Lloyd already follows the song up with a new track called Bottom Line. The song is currently not a proper single and makes it to #4 on this list as the highest new entry. The song got released alongside the announcement for Dennis‘ debut album Some Days, that will be released in early July.

The other three debuts are all singles that were released this week, but didn’t make it to the main chart. First up is Becky Hill, who teamed up with David Guetta on a song called Remember (#5). Former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice makes a rather late entry at #7 for her latest single Too F****n‘ Nice, the follow-up to Stay, that reached #30 on the main chart earlier this year. Last but not least, Tate McRae and Khalid collaborated on a track called Working that enters the chart at #8.

Måneskin’s I Wanna Be Your Slave (1-2), Mahmood & Woodkid’s Karma (3-3), Marina’s I Love You But I Love Me More (2-6), Topic & Bebe Rexha’s Chain My Heart (4-9) and Doja Cat’s Need To Know (5-10) make the Bubbling Under chart complete.

Poor Lena.

Maybe once she releases an album, the song may grow on me

Eurovision's grip on the chart is still very strong.

Eurovision's grip on the chart is still very strong.

It is! Probably "helps" that there was no contest in 2020, so the hype for the 2021 edition has been as huge as never before - and I still can't get enough of some songs

My Charts - week 25/2021 – 25 june 2021 - Born a Parasite
.

Singles Top40

Spoiler!

Three artists who already scored several huge hits on My Charts over the years released new singles this week and they all battled for the top spot – plus several high charting songs from a week ago were still going strong as well, so this week has been really competitive. In the end, it’s former Nightwish frontwoman Anette Olzon who takes the crown with her new single Parasite.

The Swedish singer just turned 50 years old last week and to celebrate this big day, she announced Strong, her second solo studio album, for a release on the 10th September. Alongside the announcement, Parasite got released as the album’s lead single and immediately makes it to #1 as Anette’s 17th chart notation and sixth top hit. Anette’s first solo album called Shine came out in early 2014 and is currently the most successful album ever on My Charts, and even though her two albums as The Dark Element (a collaboration with Finnish musician Jani Liimatainen) and the album Worlds Apart as Allen/Olzon (a collaboration with American musician Russell Allen) didn’t came close to the success of Shine, the expectations for Strong are incredibly huge at this point. Anette already confirmed three more singles before the album will drop in early September, so it’s expected to see her getting several hits over the next two months.

Coming in second is Within Temptation. The Dutch Symphonic Rock band has teamed up with German Post-Hardcore band Annisokay for a new single called Shed My Skin that debuts at #2 this week. While it’s the very first chart notation for Annisokay, Within Temptation are obviously no strangers to My Charts and even belong to the most successful artists ever, with Shed My Skin becoming their 24th chart entry and 16th to make the Top3. It’s the follow-up to fellow stand alone singles Entertain You (#1) and The Purge (#3, both from 2020).

Pop singer Ed Sheeran completes the Top3 with his new track Bad Habits. It’s already been over four years since she slayed every charts in the world with Shape Of You and all eyes were on Bad Habits this week, that serves as the lead single to his upcoming, yet untitled fourth proper studio album. Four years is a long time in the Pop business and even though Bad Habits doesn’t debut at #1 like Shape Of You did, it still becomes Ed’s highest charting track since Galway Girl peaked at #2 over four years ago as well, also becoming his 22nd chart entry ever and eighth to peak in the Top3.

Other new entries this week: There are just six new entries all over the charts, so only three more to go and two of those also made the Top10. First up is a song by three RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants, though unlike in many other cases, this song has nothing to do with the show itself. Season 12 contestant Jan, Season 5 contestant and All Stars 2 winner Alaska Thunder****, and Season 9 finalist Peppermint all teamed up on Gay Hands Up, an anthem for the Pride Month that already ends this week. The track debuts at #6 as the first entry for all but Peppermint, who was already featured on Trinity The Tuck’s I Call Shade (#26 in 2019). Next up is R&B singer Doja Cat, who released her third studio album Planet Her this week and following the success of the first single Kiss Me More with SZA (#14 a few weeks ago), Doja Cat teamed up with The Weeknd on the next single called You Right that debuts at #10 this week. It’s already her 11th chart entry since making her very first notation with Boss Bitch in early 2020. Finally, Barbara Pravi, who represented France at the Eurovision Song Contest this year, owns the final debut of the week as her new single called Le jour se lève makes it to #35. This makes Barbara the first artist from this years contest to get a follow-up chart entry.

Eurovision entries this week: Having been on top just a week ago, Go_A’s Shum drops 1-5 this week due to the competition above them. The track is still by far the most successful Eurovision entry at the moment and actually, with Eden’s Set Me Free (16-21), Efendi’s Mata Hari (18-22) and Måneskin’s Zitti e buoni (20-30) all leaving the Top20, Shum is even the only remaining Eurovision track in the upper half this week. A special shoutout goes to Efendi’s Mata Hari that gets certified with Gold this week despite leaving the Top20, already becoming the fifth Gold certified Eurovision entry this year. The 2019 contest still has the most certified entries to date, with three songs going Gold and another three songs going Platinum. Barbara Pravi’s Voilà (21-26), Stefania’s Last Dance (25-27) and Elena Tsagrinou’s El diablo (24-29) keep doing rather well, while Destiny’s Je me casse (23-31), Gjon’s Tears‘ Tout l’univers (28-32), Blind Channel’s Dark Side (34-36), Tusse’s Voices (31-37), Senhit’s Adrenalina (32-39) and Montaigne’s Technicolour (38-40) are not far of leaving the charts anymore. Speaking of leaving, Moldova’s Natalia Gordienko’s Sugar (ex #39) and Belgium’s Hooverphonic’s The Wrong Place (ex #40) leave the charts this week.

Other talking points this week: I’m A Winner, Baby, from RuPaul feat. the finalists from the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under (Art Simone, Karen From Finance, Kita Mean and Scarlet Adams) holds up really well in its second week and even stays at #4 despite the strong competition above it. It’s actually the very first RuPaul song not to fall down some spots in its second week. There are also some good news for Mabel, as her track Let Them Know reaches the Top20 by rising 26-19. Meanwhile, following a strong start into the album campaign, it looks like Marina is already losing a lot of steam as her two singles Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land (14-23) and Venus Fly Trap (17-24) keep falling a lot this week.

Mabel’s Let Them Know is the biggest climber while Måneskin’s Zitti e buoni is the biggest loser this week.

My Charts - week 25/2021 – 25 june 2021 - Born a Parasite
.

Album Top20

Spoiler!

June is Pride Month and just right before the month ends, Lady Gaga released a fitting tenth anniversary edition for her second studio album Born This Way this week, including several songs from the original album being re-recorded by different artists such as Big Freedia, Kylie Minogue or Years & Years. While there wasn’t much hype for this re-release just days before it came out, the impact is much bigger now and the new edition brings the original album back to the top this week. With this, Born This Way joins its follow-up Artpop as Lady Gaga’s third longest running number one album with three weeks on top now, only being behind Joanne with six weeks (2016), and Chromatica with seven weeks (2020). Overall, Lady Gaga has spent a total of 25 weeks at #1 on the album charts across eight releases. It’s also worth a mention that back in 2011, the album charts was just a Top10 and therefore, the chartrun for Born This Way may have been cut short.

R&B shooting star Doja Cat is up next with her third studio album Planet Her that arrives at #2 this week. The singer / rapper started her career with a bang, as her first chart notation ever was Boss Bitch, that immediately topped the singles charts in early 2020. Her second studio album Hot Pink then became her breakthrough album and went on to peak at #4 for two weeks in early 2020 as well, plus it also got certified with Gold.

Just like on the Singles Top40, the three most successful albums of the week are also new entries (or in Gaga’s case a re-entry), as coming third is The Veronica’s new set Human. The Australian sister duo just released their fourth album Godzilla a few weeks ago (up 10-9 this week) and already follow it up with Human, that debuts one spot lower than its predecessor did.

Other new and re-entries this week: Canadian Country singer Meghan Patrick got a surprise hit back in 2018, when her second studio album Country Music Made Me Do It came out of nowhere, debuted at #3 and stayed on the whole charts for eight weeks. Unfortunately, her third album can’t repeat the same success and only arrives at a rather disappointing #13 this week as the fourth and last new entry. There are also two re-entries on the charts this week, both being fueled by Anette Olzon’s new single Parasite and the announcement to her upcoming second solo album Strong. First up is her solo debut Shine, which returns to #15 for an astonishing 122nd charting week, while The Dark Element with Jani Liimatainen is back at #19.

Other talking points this week: The compilation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 drops 1-4 due to the competition, but it’s charting in the Top4 for its tenth consecutive week and is on its way to become the most successful compilation ever. Nightwish’s HUMAN. :||: NATURE. (5-5) and Blackmore’s Night’s Nature’s Light (3-6) keep doing well, Marina’s Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land already drops 2-8 in its third week. While Evanescence‘ The Bitter Truth refuses to leave the Top10 (9-10), Måneskin’s Teatro d’ira – Vol. 1 (8-11), Maroon 5’s Jordi (6-12) and Todrick Hall’s Femuline (7-14) all leave that part after just a few weeks being there.

Bubbling Under

Spoiler!

A bunch of new entries find their ways onto the Bubbling Under charts this week and they’re a mixture of album tracks from new album releases, a promo single from an upcoming new album, and some new singles that didn’t stand out enough to enter the main charts. Lady Gaga’s tenth anniversary edition for her second studio album Born This Way makes a big impact on the album charts and does so as well on this list, as two tracks from the new edition enter the Bubbling Under chart, including one directly on top: Big Freedia’s rendition for Judas. The Highwomen’s rendition of Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) featuring Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards stands out on the new edition as well and enters the list at #5.

Israeli singer-songwriter Dennis Lloyd will release his debut album next week and following the promo single Bottom Line (down 4-8 this week), he put out yet another promo track this week called Meditation that arrives at #2.

Coming in third is a track from Doja Cat’s new album Planet Her, that also scores a strong debut on the album charts this week. Rather unsurprisingly, her collaboration with Ariana Grande called I Don’t Do Drugs stands out the most on the set from the songs that weren’t singles so far and makes its debut at #3.

There are further debuts for Jonas Brother’s new single Remember This (#9) and for Bastille’s new single Distorted Light Beam (#10).

Nightwish’s The Greatest Show On Earth (1-4), Mahmood & Woodkid’s Karma (3-6) and Måneskin’s I Wanna Be Your Slave (2-7) complete the Bubbling Under chart this week.

Barbara Pravi's new single is really cute.
Also two entries by The Veronicas in the albums' top 10.

It is, but doesn't really move me the way Voilà did.

Yes, The Veronicas came out of nowhere for me. Those are actually the first albums I heard by them and I'm really impressed!

Singles Top40

Spoiler!

Only a bit more than half of the year has passed, but with a song rising up to the top this week, we already celebrate the 20th number one hit of 2021 - or at least to what counts for the 2021 Year-End Charts, as the final two weeks of 2020 also count towards this. Rather surprisingly, it’s Gay Hands Up by RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants Jan, Alaska Thunder**** and Peppermint that rises 6-1 to also become the very first chart topper for all three Drag Queens. This is rather surprising because the song wasn’t close to top the chart last week and was initially expected to fall and not to rise, but the song ends up as a surprise hit and stands out the most from all songs this week. It joins Blair St. Clair’s 9 Lives (2020) and Plastique Tiara’s Irresistible (2019) as the third number one single for a Drag Queen that isn’t linked to the show itself.

Ed Sheeran’s Bad Habits rises 3-2 while Anette Olzon’s Parasite drops 1-3, both completing the Top3.

New entries this week: With just four new arrivals on the whole charts, this week seems to be a rather calm one. Though at least all four songs reached the upper half, with two even making it into the Top10. First up is Wrecked at #7, the new single by Imagine Dragons. Alongside the release for Wrecked, the band also announced their upcoming fifth studio album Mercury, Act 1 for an early September release, with Wrecked being already its third single following the double single releases Cutthroat (#16) and Follow You (#10), both from earlier this year. This immediately makes Wrecked the highest peaking track from the album, and Imagine Dragons’ highest appearance since Natural debuted and peaked at #6 in mid 2018. Just behind the band at #8 is Australian rapper and singer Iggy Azalea, who is preparing the release of her upcoming third album End Of An Era with the new single I Am The Stripclub. Similar to Imagine Dragons, this new entry is also Iggy’s highest placement in a while, actually since Savior feat. Quavo debuted and peaked at #5 in early 2018. The other two new entries are You For Me at #15, where Sigala team up with Rita Ora, and Lieben wir at #18, the third chart entry ever for German rapper Shirin David.

Eurovision entries this week: Ukraine’s Eurovision entry is still by far the most successful entry, as Go_A’s Shum holds 5-5 this week, also being the only Eurovision song left in the whole Top20. As if this isn’t already huge enough, the song also gets certified with Platinum this week, which is a huge milestone not only for Eurovision entries, but for songs in general these days. In fact, Shum is only the second song being released in 2021 to reach this milestone, and a third immediately joins it, as Destiny’s Je me casse also reaches the mark (31-35). It’s a fantastic week for the contest overall, as Gjon’s Tears’ Tout l’univers gets certified with Gold this week as well (32-34). With four Gold and two Platinum certified entries, the 2021 edition is about to become the most certified Eurovision Song Contest ever, slowly catching up with the 2019 edition that spawned three Gold and three Platinum certified entries. Eden’s Set Me Free (21-24), Efendi’s Mata Hari (22-27), Elena Tsagrinou’s El diablo (29-30), Stefania’s Last Dance (27-32), Barbara Pravi’s Voilà (26-33), Montaigne’s Technicolour (40-38), Måneskin’s Zitti e buoni (30-39) and Blind Channel’s Dark Side (36-40) are all also still charting.

Other talking points this week: There are two more songs that deserve a special mention and the first up is yet again Let Them Know by Mabel. The track had a rather moderate debut just two weeks ago and following reaching the Top20 last week, the song continues to climb up the charts, rising 19-12 this week. A similar scenario like for Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U (11-17) and maybe Let Them Know will also become Mabel’s first Top10 as a lead artist next week. The other shoutout goes to Imanbek & Cher Lloyd’s Baddest, as the song hangs on in the lower half of the charts (25-26) and gets certified with Gold this week. While this is Imanbek’s very first certification ever, Cher Lloyd already got a Gold certified hit under her belt with the Demi Lovato collaboration Really Don’t Care from 2014.

Mabel’s Let Them Know is the biggest climber for a second week in a row while Marina’s Venus Fly Trap drops 24-36 as the biggest loser this week.

Album Top20

Spoiler!

Similar to the Singles Top40, the Album Top20 is also not the busiest this week as there’s just one new arrival and no re-entry on the whole list. This gives Doja Cat the opportunity to score her very first number one album, as her third album Planet Her rises 2-1 following its already great arrival a week ago. This makes Planet Her the 16th chart topping album of the year, the 13th 2021 release to do so and from all of those only the second not to debut directly atop the charts. Doja Cat also pushes Lady Gaga’s Born This Way away, that still goes strong and just dips 1-2 following the release of the tenth anniversary edition.

The mentioned new entry completes the Top3 as it arrives at #3. Israeli singer-songwriter Dennis Lloyd has been releasing singles since his breakthrough hit Nevermind back in 2018, but it took him some time to finally release his debut album Some Days. While only his latest three singles Alien (#1 in 2020), Anxious (#3) and The Way (#4, both from 2021) made it onto the record, it was still enough for a great very first chart notation on the album charts.

Other talking points this week: Nightwish’s HUMAN. :||: NATURE. (5-4), Blackmore’s Night’s Nature’s Light (6-7), Evanescence’ The Bitter Truth (10-8) and to a lesser extent also The Veronica’s Godzilla (9-10) all refuse to leave the upper half, even though especially the last two albums are very close of leaving that part for several weeks now. Same applies for the compilation of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, that keeps doing really well, but dips 4-6 in its 11th charting week as the first time it’s outside the Top5. There are further good news for the compilation, as it gets certified with Platinum this week. It joins the 2012, 2016 and 2019 editions as the fourth Eurovision compilation to go Platinum, though overall it already surpassed the 2012 and 2016 editions to become the second most successful compilation ever. Additionally, it’s also just the third 2021 release to get certified with Platinum following Blackmore’s Night’s Nature’s Light and Evanescence’ The Bitter Truth. While Marina’s Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land already leaves the Top10 after just three weeks (8-11), there has to be a special shoutout for K/DA’s All Out EP this week as well. The EP has been close to leaving the charts for several weeks now but always bounces back, as it happens this week as well (20-14). It’s already charting for 35 consecutive weeks, though only 12 of them were in the Top10.

Bubbling Under

Spoiler!

This week is not the busiest and as it showed on the Singles Top40 and on the Album Top20, it kinda also shows on the Bubbling Under chart, as despite four new arrivals here, none of them made much noise even on this list. This gave some room for Nightwish’s The Greatest Show On Earth, which jumps back up 4-1 for a second week atop this list. It’s definitely interesting how this track stands out so much, but that’s not enough to bring their Decades: Live In Buenos Aires back to the album charts.

Nightwish’s biggest competition came from Dennis Lloyd. The Israeli singer-songwriter has just released his debut album Some Days and while Meditation already made it to #2 as a promo single last week, the song stays at the runner-up spot fueled by the album release boost. Big Freedia’s Judas completes the Top3, as it dips 1-3.

As mentioned, four debuts make it to the list this week and those are all new singles that were released this week but didn’t make it to the main chart. First up is Yebba, who has been releasing a bunch of singles over the past few years but somehow, most of them ended up on the Bubbling Under chart and missed out on the main chart. The Past And Pending joins them, as it’s new at #5. She’s closely followed by 5 Seconds Of Summer frontguy Luke Hemmings, who wants to try it out solo and released a first taste of his upcoming solo debut album. The track is called Starting Line and debuts at #6. Flo Rida feat. Inna & Timmy Trumpet’s Summer’s Not Ready (#8) and Vanilla Ninja’s Gotta Get It Right (#10) are the other two debuts.

Doja Cat feat. Ariana Grande’s I Don’t Do Drugs (3-4), Mahmood & Woodkid’s Karma (6-7) and Måneskin’s I Wanna Be Your Slave (7-9) make the Bubbling Under chart complete.
