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 from 19:00 to 21:00 CET and on Sundays from 12:00 to 14:00 CET.

The chart seems to be a Top 40 (on a couple of occasions in 2016 MTV Europe also showed positions between number 50 and number 41, indicating a Top 50). However, not all the positions are shown - some of them are skipped each week.

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 (especially if they don't have an official video yet); or when an artist has more than one song in the chart, not all are shown.

It's also notable that the upper part of this chart is basically the same as the "Euro Top 20" chart that is broadcast on MTV Italy.

I'd like to point out the chart run of "Starboy" by The Weeknd and Daft Punk so far:

 

1-1-3-4-3-6-2-8-7-5-2-5-6-2

 

It has happened several times - "Starboy" starts falling, then jumps back to number 2! It seems like the runner-up position is a magnet for the song!

"Rockabye" now scores a TENTH week at the top! The last song to reign for a longer time seems to be "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, which supposedly spent 11 weeks at number 1 (I only started watching this new version of MTV Europe's European chart during the second week "Happy" was at the top).

The last song to spend 10 weeks at number 1 in the "old" period of the chart (until 2012) was "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye. And to find the last song to spend 11 weeks at the top we have to go back to 2003, when "Lose Yourself" by Eminem accomplished this...

2 Rag'n'Bone Man - Human 1 Up

1 Clean Bandit, Sean Paul & Anne-Marie - Rockabye Stay =>

 

"Rockabye" has now spent 11 weeks at number 1, equalling the achievement of "Happy" by Pharrell Williams (supposedly), "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, "Asereje" by Las Ketchup, "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minogue and "Another Day In Paradise" by Phil Collins.

So who's ahead? If we don't consider the period between August 2012 and the end of 2013 (when no European chart was broadcast on MTV Europe) and the times before September 1989 (for which we have no archive), only 2 songs have been at the top for 12 weeks - "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio and "Whenever, Wherever" by Shakira...

1 Ed Sheeran - Castle On The Hill

 

It's no surprise that Ed Sheeran is the new number 1. What's shocking is the song which he conquers the chart with - "Castle On The Hill" and not "Shape Of You"! I think the explanation is that the official video of "Castle On The Hill" was released earlier than the official video of "Shape Of You"...

"Castle On The Hill" becomes Ed Sheeran's third chart-topper after "Sing" and "Thinking Out Loud". We're waiting for his fourth!

In other news, Little Mix appear in the chart simultaneously with 2 different songs - "Touch" and "Shout Out To My Ex". This is actually very unusual - in almost all cases when an artist has 2 (or more) songs in the chart, MTV Europe play just one of them... Unless one (or both) are collaborations - as Sean Paul demonstrates at number 3 and number 4...

1 Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You

 

This week's chart-topper was completely expected. Still, what Ed Sheeran has done is unique! There has been no other time in this chart when an artist reaches number 1 with a song ("Castle On The Hill") one week and reaches number 1 with ANOTHER song ("Shape Of You") the FOLLOWING week! I have no idea when such a thing might happen again...

Another notable thing - last year there were 2 instances when MTV Europe played songs placed below the Top 40. Now the same occurs - so, in theory, the chart may be a Top 50 but this shows very rarely...

1 Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You Stay =>

 

With "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" Zayn scores his second number 2 in this chart after last year's "Pillowtalk" (which, by the way, was the runner-up exactly at this time of February, too!).

Unfortunately, this edition of the chart is an example of something I'm opposing. I don't think songs should appear in a EUROPEAN chart if they're only having success in the UK singles chart (and some of them are not doing well even there!)...

"Where's The Revolution" is Depeche Mode's first appearance in the chart since "Wrong" in 2009.

And Sia's new single is not the first one titled "Move Your Body" to appear in MTV Europe's European chart - Eiffel 65's "Move Your Body" reached number 3 in 2000.

1 Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You Stay =>

 

Although seldom, some songs that have participated in the Eurovision Song Contest have appeared in MTV Europe's European chart. However, they have always debuted AFTER the contest...

Now Italy's representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 - Francesco Gabbani - appears with "Occidentali's Karma" more than a month BEFORE the contest!

It's always fantastic to see MTV Europe play songs in languages other than English!... And if I'm not seriously wrong, this is the first song in Italian in the chart since Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP's 2010 number 1 "We No Speak Americano" (which is technically in Neapolitan)...

Also, this is the first time MTV Europe plays both of Ed Sheeran's singles during the same edition of the chart. In fact, "Castle On The Hill" appears only for the second time after it topped the chart for a single week in the edition of February 4. Once "Shape Of You" replaced it at number 1, MTV Europe stopped playing "Castle On The Hill" (it's usual for them to play just one song by an artist during a particular edition of the chart)...

However, it seems like Ed Sheeran's complete chart dominance has made MTV Europe decide to reflect his success and play both "Castle On The Hill" and "Shape Of You" - at least this time!

This is the fifth time in 2017 that MTV Europe played songs placed below the Top 40.

They also seem to be more willing to play 2 songs by one artist during one and the same edition of the chart - they already did it last time with Ed Sheeran and now they also played both "Rockabye" and "Symphony" by Clean Bandit...

Speaking of Ed Sheeran, very strangely, "Shape Of You" is replaced at the top by "Chained To The Rhythm". It becomes Katy Perry's fifth chart-topper in MTV Europe's European chart after "I Kissed A Girl", "Hot 'N' Cold", "California Gurls" and "E.T.". "Roar" certainly would have been number 1 as well if there had been a European chart broadcast on MTV Europe in 2013...

1 Clean Bandit & Zara Larsson - Symphony 15 Up

 

This is the sixth time in 2017 that MTV Europe played songs placed below the Top 40.

It looks like DJ's called Martin are in fashion right now! There are three Martins in the chart simultaneously - Martin Garrix, Martin Solveig and Martin Jensen!

And "Symphony" becomes Clean Bandit's third chart-topper after "Rather Be" and "Rockabye" as well as Zara Larsson's second number 1; her first was also a collaboration - "This One's For You" with David Guetta.

This is the seventh time in 2017 that MTV Europe played songs placed below the Top 40.

Something even more remarkable is that they played a total of 25 songs from the chart! They hadn't played that many songs from a single edition of the chart for a long, long time.

This is the eighth time in 2017 that MTV Europe played songs placed below the Top 40.

And I really disapprove of songs appearing in this chart when they are nowhere to be seen in ANY European chart - like "FIYAH" by Will.I.Am...

1 Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee - Despacito

 

This is a historical edition of the chart! "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee becomes the first song in Spanish to become number 1 since "La Tortura" by Shakira and Alejandro Sanz back in 2005 - 12 years ago!

It's also Daddy Yankee's first appearance in MTV Europe's European chart - "Gasolina" never charted in spite of having success across Europe in 2005.

2 Clean Bandit & Zara Larsson - Symphony 4 Up

1 Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee - Despacito Stay =>

 

For the second time Zedd appears in the chart in a collaboration (this time - with Alessia Cara) where the song title includes the word "stay"! In 2014 he reached number 11 with "Stay The Night" - a collaboration with Hayley Williams!

And it's always great to see in MTV Europe's European chart a song that is having success across Europe in spite of not appearing in the UK singles chart - like "Tuesday" by Burak Yeter! Also, unless I'm mistaken, Burak Yeter is the first Turkish act in the chart since Tarkan peaked at number 13 with "Şımarık" in 1999!
