The old MTV European Top 20 chart, which had been broadcast on MTV Europe for more than 20 years, ended in 2012. However, it looks like since January 4, 2014 some European "chart" has started being broadcast again on MTV Europe. The chart is broadcast on Saturdays from 12:00 to 14:00 CET and on Sundays from 14:00 to 16:00 CET.

The chart seems to be a Top 40. However, not all the positions are shown - some of them are skipped each week. It's also notable that the Top 20 of the chart is a complete copy of the "Euro Top 20" chart that is broadcast on MTV Italy:

The songs that are skipped on this "Euro Top Chart" seem to be one of two cases: either songs that aren't played on MTV Europe in general; or when an artist has more than one song in the chart, not all are shown.

2 Taylor Swift - Blank Space Stay =>

1 Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk! 16 Up

 

What's fantastic is that this time MTV Europe played 24 songs - I think this is the first time they have played that many! And probably it's as many as actually possible during a 2-hour broadcast...

However, they are still skipping some songs week after week - "Fade Out Lines" by The Avener, "Sun Goes Down" by Robin Schulz and (especially scandalously) "Take Me To Church" by Hozier...

"Uptown Funk!" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars makes an expected but still impressive 16-place climb to number 1.

1 Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk! Stay =>

 

Olly Murs shockingly scores a second consecutive number 2 in the chart with the duet with Demi Lovato, "Up" (a few weeks ago "Wrapped Up" also reached number 2)...

And the appearance of "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel at number 15 is very, very curious...

2 Hozier - Take Me To Church

1 Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk! Stay =>

 

I knew that it was just a matter of time! MTV Europe weren't so shameless as to skip the number 2 - so they FINALLY played "Take Me To Church" by Hozier! They did make a compromise - they obviously consider the video too controversial so they played a live performance of the song (although the original video can be seen at times on the wall behind Hozier)...

And I really hoped that "Something I Need" by Ben Haenow wouldn't appear in the chart but at least it's not in the Top 10...

Very surprised they were ignoring Hozier given how well he is doing in Europe. They could just do their own edit of the video, as they do with thousands of videos anyway.

And Rihanna scores yet another number 1 with "FourFiveSeconds"! I think she must be the artist with the most number 1 singles in MTV Europe's European chart... On the other hand, this is Paul McCartney's first chart-topper in a European chart by MTV Europe since "Hope Of Deliverance" at the beginning of 1993!!!

MTV Europe finally played "Cheerleader" by OMI! It's also nice to see "Are You With Me" by Lost Frequencies - a song that hasn't appeared in the UK singles chart yet - do well in this chart!

They have made a logo for this only music show on MTV Europe:

1 Years And Years - King

 

Until now MTV Europe were skipping "King" by Years And Years... but they can't do that when the song has reached the top! And while "King" has had some success in several (non-UK) countries, it's one of the more shocking number ones in the chart!

On the other hand, I find it amazing that "Are You With Me" by Lost Frequencies has managed to climb as high as number 4 without appearing in the UK singles chart!

1 Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand 13 Up

 

This week "Hold My Hand" by Jess Glynne joins the "prestigious" list of the least deserving chart-toppers in MTV Europe's chart... A song shouldn't become number 1 in this chart just because it has reached the top in the UK singles chart! It should have success all around Europe... Another undeserving number 1 in the Euro Top Chart that comes to mind was "Changing" by Sigma and Paloma Faith... and, incidentally, this week Sigma appear in the chart again with "Higher" - another song that is yet to have success in non-UK European countries...
