The Charts Day #134 (part 2)

CHARTS

We stay in Sweden, and we still talk about Melodifestivalen songs. SaRaha, a Swede living in Tanzania and developing her career between the two countries, presented her catchy "Kizunguzungu" to the competition, eventually arriving to the final and finishing ninth. The song is becoming a hit in the country: it's this week's #2 in the charts!

The Charts Day #134 (part 1)

Frans Jeppsson-Wall was the dark horse of this year's Melodifestivalen, eventually making it to win the competition (and, with the victory, earning the ticket to represent Sweden in this year's Eurovision Song Contest). His song "If I were sorry" caught the ears of the people in his country: this week, he leads the Swedish charts!

Russia | Sergey Lazarev - "You are the only one"

BRAND NEW

Time to check one of the hot favorites to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Russian star Sergey Lazarev's music is so good, he was considered a candidate for the victory even before his song was presented. We feel "You are the only one" is more directed to Eurovision audience and less Lazarev's style than we would like, but it still works greatly. It's a very good pop, and we wouldn't be surprised if it really does get the trophy.

Germany | Bosse - "Steine"

RECENT

German singer Bosse made it to our top 40 of 2013 with his lovely "So oder so", and we are finally hearing from him again! His most recent single shows why he is one of the top acts in his country: "Steine" is a smooth pop-rock song with a marking chorus filled with chords. Classy music as only Bosse can do!

Greece | Kostas Martakis - "Panta tha zeis"

BRAND NEW

Greek pop star Kostas Martakis has a new song. And we are very glad to present it. "Panta tha zeis" is a beautiful Greek folk pop, which travels very well between midtempo and uptempo. Kostas's voice is is a perfect fit for it all, providing quite a homogeneous result.

Romania | Sore - "Un minut"

BRAND NEW

Sore is, without a doubt, one of our favourite Romanian singers. Her new single just confirms why we like her so much: "Un minut" is a soft pop song which explodes in the chorus to the rhytm of R&B beats.

Poland | Natalia Szroeder - "Lustra"

RECENT

Another pearl coming from the season of National Finals for Eurovision. This time, we go to Poland, where Natalia Szroeder had offered us "Lustra". Her song wasn't the selected one to go to Stockholm, but we really enjoyed it. It's a well-paced track with very entertaining melody.

Albania | Eleni Foureira - "Den sou xrostao agapi"

BRAND NEW

Albanian-born singer Eleni Foureira is a usual feature of our site. And that's because her singles are, simply put, irresistible. The same happens with her most recent song. "Den sou xrostao agapi" is the kind of Greek ballad you can't help but loving: growing, dramatic, and with a chorus that explodes both instrumentally and vocally. No wonder it became our song of the week!

Turkey | Redd - "Aşk virüs"

BRAND NEW

Redd are a Turkish rock band from Istanbul. They are formed by Doğan Duru, Güneş Duru and Berke Özgümüş. They have just released a new single, entitled "Aşk virüs". It's a great pop-rock track with highly involving ambience. The result is very unique, and makes you go in a very personal trip with it.
