This week’s European Border Breakers Chart counts 12 entries, five tracks of which are first-timers. All of them emerging European artists, who start to have success outside their home country.

Sigrid, a talent from Norway who’s Don’t Kill That Vibe and Plot Twist you could’ve spotted before via the #EBBCharts, is the highest entry of this week with her new single Strangers (#17). Pale Waves (pictured) follow up their hit Television Romance (that came to #41) with New Year’s Eve, which comes in at #75. German duo Aden (Jarden) x (Björn) Olson make their debut at #79 with Cloud 9, Swiss/English duo Freedo feat. Gabriella Vixen do the same with Keep Your Love On Me (#88), and finally, all-female rock band Dream Wife propose Let’s Make Out at #98.

In the Tips chart, ranking the tracks that are on their way to the Top 100, Your Tears by Rews is the highest newcomer.
