One of the most promising European bands around, Pale Waves (singer Heather Baron-Gracie pictured), are currently with three tracks in the European Border Breakers Chart. This week, they score their first Top 10 hit, as Eighteen rockets from #21 to #9. Outside the Top 10, artists like Ten Tonnes, Yungblud, Boy Azooga and Goat Girl (all with multiple simultaneous hits) spice up the chart with their guitars. Further proof that rock ‘n’ roll isn’t dead (are you listening, Lenny Kravitz?).

This edition of the EBBChart counts 24 (re)entries, mostly songs that have visited the Top 100 before. Four of them, though, are completely new to our weekly showcase of fresh European talent. They are:
#37: Feng Suave – Honey, There’s No Time
#40: Brother Leo – Strangers On An Island
#62: Kolabeech feat. Betsy – Everybody’s Free
#89: Ruthven – Hypothalamus

More charts, like the Tips (ranking the tracks that are on their way to the Top 100), the Airplay Chart and the Streaming Chart, are available at www.europeanborderbreakerschart.eu, where you can also listen to all of the tracks and watch their videos, as well as share them via social media.
