2019 in ReviewDelain and the incredible vocals of Charlotte Wessels burst onto our chart in March, and it was clear they had a major hit on their hands. It turned out to be their biggest to date. Sevi and Eva Under Fire continued to impress with hit after hit, but it was Kobra & the Lotus that gave us the biggest surprise with their first three hits all going to #1! Switzerland and Italy found themselves well-represented this year. Melissa Bonny alone found herself on 4 year-enders between her stints in Rage of Light and Ad Infinitum, and just missing the top 50 as a solo artist and with Warkings. The year's songs by country are: US 10; Netherlands 7; Italy 6; Switzerland 5; Bulgaria 3; Canada 3; France 3; Germany 3; India, Japan and Norway 2; and 1 each for the UK, Bolivia, Finland, Greece, Sweden, Argentina and Austria.Within Temptation landed 4 hits on our chart this year (#3, #15, #25, #27)! For a third year, Sevi (#9, #12, #20) placed 3 songs on our year-end chart again, but so did Kobra & the Lotus (#2, #8, #15), Rage of Light (#29, #34, #49) and Secret Rule (#37, #42, #48). 6 acts landed two each in the top 50: Halestorm, Eva Under Fire, Sirenia, Dust in Mind, Bloodywood, and Kalidia. |
Chart facts: only 7 artists from last year's top 50 are back this year: Sevi, Eva Under Fire, Bare Infinity, Halestorm, The Dark Element, Weezer, and Visions of Atlantis. Other minutiae:
