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 (although in 2017 MTV Europe sometimes 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.

MTV Europe played songs placed below the Top 40 during 18 editions of the chart in 2017. The same happens in the very first edition of 2018.

Sometimes MTV Europe start playing a song a long time after it has reached its peak position. Judging by MTV Italy's "Euro Top 20" chart, "What Lovers Do" by Maroon 5 reached number 5 in November 2017... Yet for some reason MTV Europe refused to play the song. They finally do it now for the first time - months later, when "What Lovers Do" isn't even in the Top 20 anymore...

Usually the UK singles chart has a huge influence on this chart. So it's nice to see MTV Europe play songs like "So Far Away" by Martin Garrix and David Guetta or "Leave A Light On" by Tom Walker - they are having some success in certain European countries although they haven't appeared in the UK singles chart yet.

sdizda, are you able to watch the chart on MTV Europe now?

"Whatever It Takes" by Imagine Dragons falls 4 places down.

When I watched this edition of the chart, MTV Europe didn't play "Him & I" by G-Eazy and Halsey (which you saw at number 29). Not that I'm surprised - they broadcast each edition of the chart 3 times and sometimes there are differences between the different broadcasts - some songs are played just during a particular broadcast or even the positions shown are different!...

40 Kygo & Justin Jesso - Stargazing 5 Down

21 Zayn & Sia - Dusk Till Dawn Stay =>

 

in edition of the chart aired from 19:00 – 21:00 (the same day).

This is the third time in 2018 that MTV Europe played songs placed below the Top 40.

And they finally played "Havana" by Camila Cabello! Judging by MTV Italy's "Euro Top 20" chart, the song has already spent 4 months in the chart, even climbing as high as number 2 several times... and MTV Europe still skipped it the whole time! It seems like for some songs the only chance to get played by MTV Europe is to reach number 1!...

1 Sigrid - Strangers 25 Up

 

There have been some extremely surprising number ones in the history of MTV Europe's European chart... An example of a baffling chart-topper from last year (2017) is "Slow Hands" by Niall Horan.

...However, I'll have to dig really deep in the archives of the chart to check whether there has EVER been a less deserving number 1 than "Strangers" by Sigrid.

I mean, of course, it's completely possible that the single will become massive in Europe in the upcoming weeks and months. But at the time it reached the top, it had appeared in the singles charts of just 3 European countries - the UK (with a peak position of number 10), Ireland (with a peak position of number 13) and Sigrid's native country, Norway (with a peak position of number 18)... Such a performance shouldn't be enough even for the Top 20 of this chart - let alone the number 1 spot!...

Zayn peaked at number 2 with three different singles - "Pillowtalk", "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" and "Dusk Till Dawn".

Three songs from the soundtrack of "Fifty Shades Freed" appear simultaneously in the chart - "For You" at number 2, "Capital Letters" at number 35 and "Heaven" at number 50.

And it's great that MTV Europe started playing "River" by Eminem and Ed Sheeran and "God's Plan" by Drake! They have skipped quite a lot of successful songs completely in the past...
