Wow, I never knew Select used to have SO many videos in rotation. I though it was 60 maximum. Check this out:

 

 

Goes to show you how much music they used to play back then

Wow, I never knew Select used to have SO many videos in rotation. I though it was 60 maximum.

 

It was a Top 100 were 20 videos or so would be played in a two-hour show. Great show actually, too bad that those times are long gone...

I almost feel nostalgic. And they supported a lot of European music too. Shame

well finally Danza Kuduro makes the chart!

 

Olly and Pixie - ridiculous!

:lol:

 

They've finally caught on after 18 weeks. Mind you, iirc 'This Is The Life' by Amy Macdonald took forever to finally make the top 20.

FINALLY! I really didn't believe "Danza Kuduro" would ever enter European Top 20, although a glimmer of hope always remained...

As I have been expecting for a long time, "Mr. Saxobeat" by Alexandra Stan re-enters the chart for a fourth time, making this its fifth separate run in the chart - an achievement which would have been a record if not for the fact that "Someone Like You" by Adele did the same two weeks ago!

By the way, Hitstastic, "This Is The Life" by Amy Macdonald actually never charted in MTV European Top 20...

 

And now - something remarkable. For years my friend djcharly (Charles Pons) has been making Euro Airplay Top 100 - a combined chart of the airplay charts in the different European countries. Later he also started making Euro Singles Top 100 - a combination of the airplay charts and the download charts in the different European countries.

Well, just compare the latest edition of European Top 20 with this edition of Euro Airplay Top 100:

I think it's a great recognition that the biggest music TV channel in Europe is taking inspiration by djcharly's chart!

Well, what I like about European Top 20 this year is that even when another chart is imitated for a single week (the Billboard Hot 100, djcharly's Euro Airplay Top 100 last week), the following week the chart is original - this week's edition doesn't copy another chart - BUT it still tries to look like a continuation of the previous week's copied edition!

Sean Paul hasn't been in MTV European Top 20 for more than five years and a half! And while he appeared on Blu Cantrell's number 2 hit "Breathe" and Beyoncé Knowles' number 3 hit "Baby Boy", "Got 2 Luv U" is only his second single in the chart as a main artist. Not that he should feel too sad - the previous one, "We Be Burnin'", reached number 2 in late 2005! So three Top 3 hits so far - can "Got 2 Luv U" become the fourth?

And I was sure "Papi" by Jennifer Lopez would debut sooner or later... As it turns out, quite soon!

Edited October 15, 201113 yr by tsetsi81

tsetsi, "I Won't Let You Go" by James Morrison is a new entry, not a re-entry. This is his third single in the chart after "You Give Me Something" and the number 1 duet with Nelly Furtado "Broken Strings".

Dappy's new entry isn't the first song in European Top 20 titled "No Regrets" - Robbie Williams' song sharing the same title debuted at the beginning of 1999.

I'm really happy to see a song by a Swiss DJ and a Russian rapper that hasn't charted in the UK - however, "Welcome To St. Tropez" was a big hit in other European countries and it's wonderful when such songs appear in this chart!

Just like I expected, Sean Paul scores his fourth Top 3 hit!

By staying at the top for a 5th week, "Moves Like Jagger" becomes only the second song in 2011 to spend more than 4 weeks at number 1. Still, it has some more work to do to equal the 8 weeks at the top of "On The Floor" by Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull!

But the BIGGEST NEWS this week is actually at the very bottom of the chart - Tony Bennett's debut makes him the oldest artist to ever appear in MTV European Top 20! Tony is 85 years old - I wonder whether this record can ever be broken?!...

By spending a 6th week at number 1, "Moves Like Jagger" actually becomes Christina Aguilera's longest staying chart-topper in European Top 20, beating the 5-week reign of "Genie In A Bottle"!

This is just incredible! Back in 1995, "Self Esteem" by Offspring had to wait until its 16th week in the chart in order to reach number 1! That was a record for MTV European Top 20... until now! However, "Someone Like You" by Adele has taken even longer to go to the top - this is its 18th week in the chart!!! Add to this the fact that the song has re-entered the chart four times... "Someone Like You" debuted in European Top 20 at the beginning of March. Now, almost EIGHT months later, it has finally become a number 1! Here is its amazing chart run:

 

10-4-9-18-8-19-THREE WEEKS OUT-16-THREE WEEKS OUT-17-17-16-FIVE WEEKS OUT-12-FIVE WEEKS OUT-6-3-6-3-3-4-1

 

What a journey indeed!

It's been incredible to see 'Someone Like You' continue to do really well in small groups of countries at a time since it's initial UK & Ireland release.

 

Here's the tracks worldwide top 10 peaks:

 

Australia #1

Austria #2

Belgium (Flanders) #2

Belguim (Wallonia) #1

Canada #2

Czech Republic #1

Denmark #8

France #1

Germany #8

Ireland #1

Italy #1

Netherlands #2

New Zealand #1

Norway #5

Slovakia #4

Sweden #3

Switzerland #2

UK #1

US #1

 

On a seperate note, I reckon Rihanna 'We Found Love' could be a big new entry next week now that the music video has been released.

its also #1 for a 13th week in Portugal

NO EURO CHART THIS WEEK DUE TO EMA'S :angry: :puke2: :wacko:

 

This is pathetic..........someone will think that MTV shows 24 hours those EMA's and there is no space for 45 minutes chart show...so funny!!! :w00t:

I just knew that would happen. It's a deserved #1 new entry though as 'We Found Love' is definitely the biggest hit not just in Europe but internationally at the moment.
