It’s Friday, music discovery day! Like every week, the European Border Breakers Chart is full of new European music that is crossing the borders of the artists’ home countries. These are 100 tracks that are currently being played on radio stations or listened to via streaming services across the continent, waiting to reach an even larger public.

Based on her success in the EBBChart, the definitive international break-through of Belgian singer Angèle (pictured) can’t be far away. Her third single La Thune is also her third hit in our chart. It’s this week’s highest entry of a total of 10 first-timers (apart from another 17 re-entries). These are all 10 of them:

#39: Angèle – La Thune
#48: Freya Ridings – Ultraviolet
#62: Lump feat. Laura Marling & Mike Lindsay – Hand Hold Hero
#67: Shy Martin – Forget To Forget
#79: Rohey – Is This All There Is?
#81: Malte Ebert – Rather Be
#90: Sigrid – Focus
#94: Lil Halima – Train
#95: Klan – Tropfen
#97: Tom Tripp – Loving You More

For the full 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), 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.
