Each week, the European Border Breakers Chart shows you the 100 tracks that are most successful outside the home countries of the emerging European artists performing them. A great way to discover new acts and new music. It’s New Music Friday after all…

This week, the chart counts 13 (re)entries, three of which never reached the Top 100 before: Tusen Bitar by Kampferdrops (#46), the slightly hypnotising Machine by Tender (#68; pictured) and Life by Dream Wife (#98). If you play them one after another in this order, the sound smoothly evolves from dance pop to guitar pop…

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). For more charts (like the Tips, ranking the tracks that are on their way to the Top 100), please visit www.europeanborderbreakerschart.eu. There, you can also view all the available clips and listen to the songs via the play/share button behind each track.
