If you followed the European Border Breakers Chart last year, you couldv’e seen the European Border Breakers Awards for Alma, Alice Merton, Youngr, Skott a.o. coming. Only one more EBBA is to be announced. Who will be awarded with it? Check the #EBBCharts and you might be able to do an educated guess…

Meanwhile, with the end of the year insight, radio stations start to look back and give the best songs another spin. Apparently, Zayn & Taylor Swift (I Don’t Wanna Live Forever), The Blaze (Territory), and Jain (Come) belong to that select group. They are among the tracks re-entering the Top 100 this week. More recent singles that make a comeback are Homesick by Dua Lipa (feat. Chris Martin) and La Loi De Murphy by Angèle (pictured).

In fact, only one song is completely new to this week’s chart: Danish artist Necklace with Between (Me And You) (#79). I can’t remember that ever happened before. And to be honest: I think it’s a pity. There’s more than enough good new music out there…

For the complete Top 100, click the ‘EBBChart’ tab in the top menu of this blog (loading of the PDF may take a little while). More charts (like the Tips, ranking the tracks that are on their way to the Top 100), are available at www.europeanborderbreakerschart.eu, where you can listen to all of the tracks and watch their videos as well.
