Posted January 19, 200817 yr A new year and a new thread for MTV European Top 20! Here is the chart of January 5, 2008: 20 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake - Ayo Technology 3 Down 19 Gwen Stefani - Now That You Got It 1 Down 18 Colbie Caillat - Bubbly 1 Up 17 Nickelback - Rockstar NEW 16 Sean Kingston - Me Love NEW 15 Foo Fighters - The Pretender 1 Up 14 Kanye West - Good Life Stay => 13 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day Stay => 12 Sugababes - About You Now Stay => 11 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You Stay => 10 Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love 1 Down 9 Fergie - Clumsy 1 Down 8 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 2 Up 7 Avril Lavigne - Hot 4 Down 6 Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts 1 Up 5 Britney Spears - Gimme More Stay => 4 Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin 2 Up 3 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music 1 Up 2 Alicia Keys - No One Stay => 1 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize Stay => "Apologize" by Timbaland and OneRepublic spends a third week at number 1 Two new entries - the lower one at number 17 is Nickelback's comeback to the chart after two years' absence. "Rockstar" is their fourth hit in the chart after "How You Remind Me" (which peaked at number 4), "Someday" (number 5) and "Photograph" (number 7). I'm really happy that "Rockstar" entered European Top 20 as the song is doing well in some European countries (and most recently the UK). "Me Love" by Sean Kingston is the other new entry, debuting at number 16. This is the followup to "Beautiful Girls", which despite its huge success around Europe only peaked at number 6 in this chart. Well... There wasn't much to comment on this edition of the chart! BUT... just look at the following one! Here is the chart of January 12, 2008: 20 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 9 Down 19 Jay-Z - Roc Boys NEW 18 50 Cent & Akon - Still Will NEW 17 Sugababes - About You Now 5 Down 16 Colbie Caillat - Bubbly 2 Up 15 Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah RE-ENTRY 14 Jennifer Lopez - Hold It Don't Drop It NEW 13 Kanye West - Good Life 1 Up 12 Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love 2 Down 11 Britney Spears - Gimme More 6 Down 10 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day 3 Up 9 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 1 Down 8 Christina Aguilera - Oh Mother NEW 7 Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts 1 Down 6 Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin 2 Down 5 Fergie - Clumsy 4 Up 4 Avril Lavigne - Hot 3 Up 3 Alicia Keys - No One 1 Down 2 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize 1 Down 1 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music 2 Up 2007 was a great year for European Top 20... And, if we can judge by this edition of the chart, it will be the same during 2008! Four new entries and a re-entry!!! Such a combination has happened only three times in the chart's history (twice in 1998 and once in 1999)... At number 19 is the lowest new entry - "Roc Boys" by Jay-Z. He has had success in the chart during the 2000's because he appeared on some singles by Beyoncé Knowles and collaborated with Linkin Park... Otherwise, his biggest hit as a main artist is "Hard Knock Life", which reached number 3 back in 1999. "Ayo Technology" has been replaced in the chart by "Still Will", which enters at number 18. This time it is Akon that features on the 50 Cent single. Last year Jennifer Lopez returned to the chart with "Do It Well", which wasn't quite successful. Now the follow-up "Hold It Don't Drop It" debuts at number 14. We'll see whether its fate will be better... There is a new entry in the Top 10! And a really surprising one... "Oh Mother" by Christina Aguilera enters straight at number 8. The previous singles from her current album were very successful - "Ain't No Other Man" and "Hurt" both peaked at number 1 while "Candyman" reached number 3. What about the re-entry? At number 15 we find "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's, which has done something amazing! By re-entering European Top 20, it scores its 17th week in the chart! The unbelievable is that it spent 16 weeks in the chart, then went out... and re-enters now! No song has returned to the chart after spending so many weeks in it... Not even close to that! Songs usually re-enter the chart after they have previously spent one to several weeks in it... 9 weeks at most! But now "Hey There Delilah" shows that one can never be sure that a song has left the chart for good! There is a new number 1... and this is another absolutely impressive achievement! Before this week, Rihanna held the record for most consecutive number ones - five ("Pon De Replay", "S.O.S.", "Unfaithful", "Umbrella" and "Shut Up And Drive"). Well, now she improves her own record as "Don't Stop The Music" becomes her SIXTH consecutive number 1 in European Top 20! Who will beat this?... Most probably not Rihanna herself as her following single "Hate That I Love You" falls 9 places to number 20 after only peaking at number 11. But there's more! Look at the chart run of "Don't Stop The Music": 14-12-15-OUT-11-7-7-6-5-3-4-3-1 As you can see, the song actually left the chart for a week and then re-entered! In the chart's history, only three other songs have climbed to number 1 after going out of the chart and then re-entering - "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden, "Life" by Des'ree and "If You Had My Love" by Jennifer Lopez. And even that's not all! "Don't Stop The Music" reaches number 1 in its 12th week in the chart. Now this is a long journey to the top! In fact, the second longest ever! Only one song had to wait longer to climb to the top - "Self Esteem" by Offspring back in 1995. Here is how it did it: 20-19-19-18-18-17-18-9-7-5-3-3-3-2-2-1 There is something really amusing about that - "Self Esteem" replaced at the top "Back For Good" by Take That... which was one of the two songs in the chart's history that reached number 1 most quickly (by actually debuting straight at the top)! And another funny comparison between those two songs - "Self Esteem" climbed to number 1 in its 16th week in the chart... while "Back For Good" didn't even spend 16 weeks in European Top 20! But back to this week's chart and there are a few interesting reclimbs - "Shadow Of The Day" returns to the Top 10 by going 13-10 and "Hot" by Avril Lavigne climbs from number 7 to number 4 after falling 3-7 last week. However, the most remarkable reclimb is by Fergie's "Clumsy". It climbs four places to number 5 and thus reaches a new peak position, becoming her third highest-peaking single after "Big Girls Don't Cry" (number 3) and "London Bridge" (number 4). Finally... do you see last week's new entries in this week's chart?! Both "Rockstar" by Nickelback and "Me Love" by Sean Kingston have left European Top 20 after just one week! By the way, "Me Love" is the first song to spend only one week at number 16 in the chart since "Ain't That A Lot Of Love" by Simply Red in 1999... An edition of the chart with two new entries - and both of them gone in the following edition! The only other such case was again in 1999 - the "victims" were "Saltwater" by Chicane and Maire Brennan and "Everything Is Everything" by Lauryn Hill. That's all for now. The new year for MTV European Top 20 starts promisingly...
January 19, 200817 yr lol, none of the new entries are actually hits. And a shame they continue do ignore dance music, oh well...
January 19, 200817 yr Jeez, the MTV euro top 20 is so not reliable. In the 90s the chart showed really Europe's biggest tracks. I assume now the chart shows the MTV Producer's favourites. <_<
January 22, 200817 yr Yesterday MTV Europe went too far.For yet another week they show European top 20 with difference between what's been told by the presenter and what is shown.The spoke about "welcome to the first chart of 2008" and then.....videos from last weeks chart?????Maybe someone is been sleeping or they just don't care-but why they should?In just a few months it will all be over.I hope then here in Bulgaria all cable operators to include MTV HITS in their offers.Last night they show the chart of 19/01 and all was ok.Now that channel is the closest to the good old MTV.And the chart was quite surprising,especially No.4!
January 24, 200817 yr Author Here is the chart of January 19, 2008: 20 50 Cent & Akon - Still Will 2 Down 19 Sean Kingston - Me Love RE-ENTRY 18 Jay-Z - Roc Boys 1 Up 17 Gwen Stefani - Early Winter NEW 16 Sugababes - Change NEW 15 Christina Aguilera - Oh Mother 7 Down 14 Simple Plan - When I'm Gone NEW 13 Britney Spears - Gimme More 2 Down 12 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 8 Up 11 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day 1 Down 10 Colbie Caillat - Bubbly 6 Up 9 Kanye West - Good Life 4 Up 8 Avril Lavigne - Hot 4 Down 7 Fergie - Clumsy 2 Down 6 Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin Stay => 5 Alicia Keys - No One 2 Down 4 Britney Spears - Piece Of Me NEW 3 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 6 Up 2 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize Stay => 1 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music Stay => I couldn't have wished for a better start of the year for MTV European Top 20! Now this is unique - there have been four new entries and a re-entry for two weeks in a row! Let's hope the chart will continue to be as active during the whole year... It turns out that the sole week of "Me Love" by Sean Kingston at number 16 in the chart two weeks ago wasn't sole after all... Now it re-enters at number 19 and as last week there was also a re-entry, that makes it two re-entries in just three weeks this year! And that's more than the number of the re-entries for the whole period 2000-2006 (there was a total of ONE)!!!!!! "Early Winter" by Gwen Stefani debuts at number 17. Gwen is doing something remarkable - she has now had five singles from both of her albums enter European Top 20! And usually it's a huge accomplishment for any artist to have five hits from ONE album in the chart... Sugababes' first ever number 1 in European Top 20 - "About You Now" - is replaced this week in the chart by the follow-up "Change", which enters at number 16. Then at number 14 there is a comeback. "When I'm Gone" is Simple Plan's third hit in the chart after "Welcome To My Life" reached number 9 and "Untitled" - number 16... And that was unfair as the latter should have done better in the chart than the former - after all, "Untitled" actually WAS sucessful in some European countries! But the most impressive new entry is "Piece Of Me" by Britney Spears. Straight in at number 4! And that's Britney's highest debut in the chart ever! Previously, the record was held by "Born To Make You Happy", which entered at number 6... but in the first edition of 2000 - and before that there hadn't been a "normal" edition of the chart for two weeks so that could explain its high debut. Otherwise, the highest debut for a Britney single under "normal" circumstances was number 8 for "Toxic". There are also interesting facts regarding the songs that left the chart this week. Last week "Hold It Don't Drop It" by Jennifer Lopez was a new entry at number 14... now it's already out! Of course, it can re-enter someday but for now it's only the third song ever to have spent a single week at number 14 in the chart - after "The First Night" by Monica and "True To Your Heart" by 98 Degrees and Stevie Wonder. The other notable thing is that "2 Hearts" by Kylie Minogue went out of the chart straight from the Top 10. Here is its chart run: 6-5-5-7-7-6-7-6-7 What a chart run! 9 weeks in the chart and all of them - between number 5 and number 7! What else is there in this week's chart? A couple of flabbergasting movements. Last week "Oh Mother" by Christina Aguilera entered straight at number 8... but now it falls 7 places to number 15! It hasn't happened for years that a Top 10 debut falls so much in its second week in the chart... It last happened in 1998 - "No Tengo Dinero" by Los Umbrellos entered at number 10 and fell to number 18 the following week... But even more impressive was the chart run of "Get The Feelin'" by 5ive (which, incidentally, entered the chart just a week before "No Tengo Dinero"): 8-17-7-7 That chart run has it all! A debut in the Top 10, a huge fall... and then, unbelievably, an even huger reclimb! And to top it all, it left the chart straight from number 7 (like "2 Hearts")... Speaking of huge falls and reclimbs... Last week "Hate That I Love You" by Rihanna and Ne-Yo went 11-20 and it looked like we wouldn't see it in the chart anymore... but now it rebounds to number 12! 1998 was definitely the craziest year for European Top 20... can 2008 become just as crazy?!... Anyway, the reclimb of "Hate That I Love You" doesn't seem to affect in any way Rihanna's other single in the chart. "Don't Stop The Music" spends its second week at number 1... but I think it's facing strong competition. Apart from "Piece Of Me", "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis also looks impressive as it climbs 6 places to number 3... It will be interesting to see who conquers the top next week!
January 24, 200817 yr Hi Guys, I just don't get it :wacko: ... Why are you so interested in MTV European top 20, as it is entirely made up chart and has nothing to do with what is actually buying or listening on the continent. But I also hope that MTV Hits will be on more cable tvs in Bulgaria, but I also want MTV 2, MTV Dance and MTV Base. Maybe I want too much :funky:
January 27, 200817 yr Author Hi YanBG! It's great to see yet another Bulgarian here! Why am I so interested in MTV European Top 20? Well, it was back in 2000 that I started to become interested in music... and then I saw this chart on MTV and immediately fell in love with it! I have really strong emotional ties to it and nothing during the years has been able to change that... in fact, recently the chart has been getting even more interesting than when I started to watch it in 2000!!! And that's what matters to me - I don't really care whether the chart is made up. But I don't actually believe it's entirely made up - who's going to make up a chart just like that for more than 17 years?! Because we shouldn't forget that this is the chart of the biggest music television in Europe and has a long history - it's running since at least 1990! About the different MTV's - according to Wikipedia, a new MTV channel will launch in early 2008 - MTV HD (high definition). They say that it will be broadcast all around Europe... Who knows? Maybe this channel will replace MTV Europe. If so, they MUST play European Top 20!
January 28, 200817 yr Hi Bobiloko, I'm appreciating your passion for the Euro Top 20. My interest in music was also triggered by the MTV European Top 20 but it was long ago, i think in May 1993 ;), and back then there was only one MTV, the one and only music channel, there was no cable TV, so MTV in Bulgaria was something extremely rare. However I had the opportunity to watch a bit of the chart and completely fell in love with the entire concept of a music channel. And until now I still haven't lost that love. However, MTV changed a lot since then, it broke down into separate channels and when the Euro Top 20 on MTV Germany became different from the one in Bulgaria I've thought that something was not right. So I gradually turned my affection to more real charts like the UK and German ones... But that's just me, if you like the current Top 20, watch it and enjoy it. By the way, do you know what MTV will be launched in Bulgaria as I know that the current will be history in a while.
January 29, 200817 yr Three bulgarians in a row-that's great!Last night it was a complete mess AGAIN-they showed a mix between 3 different editions.Thanks to Internet there's no mess for me.But why they do this?
January 30, 200817 yr Because they don't care about that chart ;) and especially for that MTV which we have here in Bulgaria. Watch MTV Hits instead :)
January 30, 200817 yr Despite MTVE's mistakes this chart is sometimes very interesting.Example:Rihanna's "Don't stop the music" is at the top now for the fourth week,but exactly this song is the oldest one in the current edition (02/02).She spends her 15th week in the chart and i'm almost sure that it will challenge her best performance in the chart so far,"S.O.S."-song that's been in the chart for 23 weeks.
January 30, 200817 yr okay its really annoying to see Foo Fighters and Kanye West so high when they flopped. And Jay-Z and 50 Cent need to disappear, 2 big flops.
February 2, 200817 yr Author Here is the chart of January 26, 2008: 20 50 Cent & Akon - Still Will Stay => 19 The Wombats - Let's Dance To Joy Division NEW 18 Sean Kingston - Me Love 1 Up 17 Jay-Z - Roc Boys 1 Up 16 Jennifer Lopez - Hold It Don't Drop It RE-ENTRY 15 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day 4 Down 14 Gwen Stefani - Early Winter 3 Up 13 Sugababes - Change 3 Up 12 Simple Plan - When I'm Gone 2 Up 11 Kanye West - Good Life 2 Down 10 Avril Lavigne - Hot 2 Down 9 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 3 Up 8 Colbie Caillat - Bubbly 2 Up 7 Fergie - Clumsy Stay => 6 Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin Stay => 5 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize 3 Down 4 Alicia Keys - No One 1 Up 3 Britney Spears - Piece Of Me 1 Up 2 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 1 Up 1 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music Stay => There is a re-entry for a third week in a row! I had the feeling that the week "Hold It Don't Drop It" by Jennifer Lopez spent at number 14 a fortnight ago wouldn't remain its only one in the chart... Now it re-enters at number 16. As for the new entry... Well, "Let's Dance To Joy Division" by The Wombats debuts at number 19. This is yet another random new entry - it's not a huge hit across Europe... BUT I have to say that, in addition to its number 15 peak in the UK chart, the song also reached number 19 in The Netherlands. So it's a Top 20 hit also in a chart outside the British Isles... something which can't be said for other songs that have appeared in MTV European Top 20 (for example, "Here It Goes Again" by OK Go)! There are some statistics about this chart that I like to check once in a while - like which song has spent the most/least weeks in the chart for each peak position. And this week we have a new record in this aspect! "Oh Mother" by Christina Aguilera goes out of the chart after having the impressive chart run: 8-15 A peak position of number 8 and just 2 weeks in the chart! Yes, that's a record! So far the "record" for a peak of number 8 was 4 weeks - by "Only With You" by Captain Hollywood Project in 1993 and "Fight For Your Right" by N.Y.C.C. in 1998. Just for comparison with the neighbouring positions: the record for number 7 is 3 weeks (by "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" by Bon Jovi) and for number 9 - also 3 weeks (by "Ça Plane Pour Moi" by Leila K. and "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim). Speaking of number 9, the song that currently occupies this position - "Hate That I Love You" by Rihanna and Ne-Yo - is also doing something remarkable. Here is its chart run: 18-14-14-13-13-12-13-11-11-20-12-9 To reach number 11, then to fall to the very bottom of the chart... and still be able to go back up and even reach a new peak position?! Well done! What about the other Rihanna song? "Don't Stop The Music" stays comfortably at number 1 for a third week in a row... Actually, perhaps not so comfortably as the competition is coming nearer and nearer - "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis and "Piece Of Me" by Britney Spears are now at number 2 and number 3...
February 3, 200817 yr Here are the most succesfull songs with only 2 weeks in the chart: 2006:U2 & Green Day - The Saints Are Coming (chart run 6-2-out) 1998:Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground (chart run 6-8-out) 2008:Christina Aguilera - Oh Mother (chart run 8-15-out) Here are the most succesfull songs with only 1 week in the chart: 1994:Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (chart run 6-out) 2000:Vengaboys - Uncle John From Jamaica (chart run 10-out) 1998:Janet Jackson - I Get Lonely (chart run 12-out) 1994:Ice MC - Think About The Way (chart run 12-out) Edited June 1, 200817 yr by tsetsi81
February 7, 200817 yr Author Great statistics, tsetsi! I'm really happy that I was able to watch the unbelievable Vengaboys case... The edition of July 22, 2000 was CRAZY! "Shackles" by Mary Mary seemed to have peaked at number 4 as it then fell 4-5-7... so when the number 1 was to be revealed, there were two possibilities. I thought that since "My Uncle John From Jamaica" by Vengaboys had debuted straight at number 10 the week before, it was possible that it had gone 10-1... while "Shackles" must have left the chart straight from number 7! However, it turned out to be the opposite case - Vengaboys "disappeared as quickly as they arrived", as the chart presenter said... while "Shackles" climbed 7-1 after having been falling for two weeks before that! That was one of the (if not THE) most shocking climbs to number 1 ever! Anyway, here is the chart of February 2, 2008: 20 Sugababes - Change 7 Down 19 50 Cent & Akon - Still Will 1 Up 18 Jay-Z - Roc Boys 1 Down 17 Mika - Happy Ending NEW 16 Jennifer Lopez - Hold It Don't Drop It Stay => 15 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 6 Down 14 Avril Lavigne - Hot 4 Down 13 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day 2 Up 12 Gwen Stefani - Early Winter 2 Up 11 Kanye West - Good Life Stay => 10 Simple Plan - When I'm Gone 2 Up 9 Lenny Kravitz - I'll Be Waiting NEW 8 Fergie - Clumsy 1 Down 7 Colbie Caillat - Bubbly 1 Up 6 Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin Stay => 5 Alicia Keys - No One 1 Down 4 Britney Spears - Piece Of Me 1 Down 3 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 1 Down 2 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize 3 Up 1 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music Stay => There are two new entries this week and I'm glad about both of them. I didn't really believe "Happy Ending" by Mika would enter the chart but it does it at number 17 and thus becomes Mika's third hit in the chart after the number 1 "Grace Kelly" and "Relax, Take It Easy", which definitely deserved more than its peak position (number 7) suggests. Neither "Love Today" nor "Big Girl, You Are Beautiful" appeared in European Top 20, probably because they were simultaneously released in different European countries and so they competed with each other (not that this has prevented Rihanna from having two simultaneous hits in the chart)... Lenny Kravitz is back in the chart for the first time since 2004 (his last hit was "California"). "I'll Be Waiting" debuts straight at number 9 and that's justified as it's doing well around Europe, in fact it has become Lenny's biggest hit ever in several European countries! Yet again a song leaves the chart the week after it has debuted. Last week "Let's Dance To Joy Division" by The Wombats was a new entry at number 19... and now it's already out. The last song to spend a single week at number 19 in the chart was "Something About You" by Jamelia. Two songs spend a fourth consecutive week at a definite position - "Long Road To Ruin" by Foo Fighters at number 6 and (more importantly) "Don't Stop The Music" by Rihanna at number 1. Who will take its place at the top? Maybe those who made the most shocking movement this week. Last week "Apologize" by Timbaland and OneRepublic fell 2-5 and it looked like it was on its way down... but now it makes a mirror climb 5-2!!! If it manages to go back to number 1, that will be an incredible achievement!
February 16, 200817 yr Author Here is the chart of February 9, 2008: 20 Jay-Z - Roc Boys 2 Down 19 Avril Lavigne - Hot 5 Down 18 Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction NEW 17 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 2 Down 16 Mika - Happy Ending 1 Up 15 Jennifer Lopez - Hold It Don't Drop It 1 Up 14 50 Cent & Akon - Still Will 5 Up 13 Kanye West - Good Life 2 Down 12 Fergie - Clumsy 4 Down 11 Gwen Stefani - Early Winter 1 Up 10 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day 3 Up 9 Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin 3 Down 8 Colbie Caillat - Bubbly 1 Down 7 Lenny Kravitz - I'll Be Waiting 2 Up 6 Simple Plan - When I'm Gone 4 Up 5 Alicia Keys - No One Stay => 4 Britney Spears - Piece Of Me Stay => 3 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love Stay => 2 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music 1 Down 1 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize 1 Up There is only one new entry this week - "Sensual Seduction" at number 18. This is a rare case when Snoop Dogg appears in the chart as a solo artist. By the way, the number of not-so-successful rap songs in the current chart is remarkable - here we find also "Roc Boys" by Jay-Z, "Still Will" by 50 Cent and Akon, "Good Life" by Kanye West... The song that leaves European Top 20 this week is "Change" by Sugababes - after only 3 weeks in the chart and a peak of number 13. Interestingly, the girls seem to follow up their biggest hits with their smallest and vice versa. In 2006, "Red Dress" spent 2 weeks at number 2 and became their biggest hit in the chart. Then "Easy" only reached number 12 and became their smallest hit. After that they came back with "About You Now", which stayed at number 1 for 3 weeks - obviously, their new biggest hit... and now "Change", their new smallest hit! I wonder how many weeks their next single is going to spend at the top... "When I'm Gone" by Simple Plan climbs to number 6 and thus becomes their highest peaking song - "Welcome To My Life" stopped at number 9. But the biggest story is the "new" number 1. In fact, this is the third run at the top for "Apologize" by Timbaland and OneRepublic! Here is its chart run: 5-2-1-4-3-2-1-1-2-2-5-2-1 As you can see, the same thing has happened twice - after topping the chart, "Apologize" has left the Top 3... but then reclimbed back to number 1! This song just never gives up! However, returning to the top twice is not a record - "No Matter What" by Boyzone returned to number 1 THREE TIMES back in 1998...
February 21, 200817 yr Author To tell you the truth, I prefer random new entries to no new entries at all! Exactly the new-entryless weeks during 2002-2004 were the biggest reason the period wasn't as interesting as other periods in the history of European Top 20... Here is the chart of February 16, 2008: 20 Paramore - Misery Business NEW 19 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 2 Down 18 Maroon 5 - Won't Go Home Without You NEW 17 Mika - Happy Ending 1 Down 16 Adele - Chasing Pavements NEW 15 Kanye West - Good Life 2 Down 14 Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction 4 Up 13 Colbie Caillat - Bubbly 5 Down 12 Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin 3 Down 11 Fergie - Clumsy 1 Up 10 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day Stay => 9 Simple Plan - When I'm Gone 3 Down 8 Jennifer Lopez - Hold It Don't Drop It 7 Up 7 Gwen Stefani - Early Winter 4 Up 6 Lenny Kravitz - I'll Be Waiting 1 Up 5 Alicia Keys - No One Stay => 4 Britney Spears - Piece Of Me Stay => 3 Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love Stay => 2 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize 1 Down 1 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music 1 Up Three new entries this week. At number 18 we find "Won't Go Home Without You", Maroon 5's third single from their current album after "Makes Me Wonder" reached number 2 and "Wake Up Call" - number 7. The other two new entries - "Misery Business" by Paramore (at number 20) and "Chasing Pavements" by Adele (at number 16) - are the first hits for these artists in European Top 20. I quite like it when there are newcomers to the chart because sometimes there are only new entries by established artists for weeks! There is a shocking big climber this week. Here is the chart run of "Hold It Don't Drop It" by Jennifer Lopez so far: 14-OUT-16-16-15-8 It looked like it could stay even longer in the lower end of the chart... but that 7-place climb was absolutely unexpected! This is still Jenny's lowest peaking single as a main artist but it can, of course, climb even higher. The Top 5 is really stable - it has consisted of these 5 same songs for 5 weeks now! The only movement in the Top 5 and probably the biggest surprise of the week is the "new" old number 1 - "Don't Stop The Music" by Rihanna. After "Apologize" replaced it at the top last week, "Don't Stop The Music" regains the crown this week to claim a fifth week at number 1! Her only song to have stayed longer at the top was "Umbrella" - 6 weeks.
