One week ago, many European radio stations attended the ESNS showcase festival in Groningen, the Netherlands. Some of the appearing artists clearly made a big impression, resulting in significant airplay. This shows in this week’s European Border Breakers Chart…

Yungblud (pictured) has four tracks (or five, if you want) inside the Top 100: I Love You, Will You Marry Me sits at #17, his latest single Polygraph Eyes enters at #34, the mash-up of Camilla Cabello’s Havana and Dua Lipa’s New Rules that he played for Studio Brussel comes in at #74 thanks to airplay on that Belgian station, and the song that started his career, King Charles, re-enters at #93.
Another artist that clearly took advantage of his presence at the festival, is EBBA winner Youngr. His collab with Endor, Give It Up, is still at #33, his new single Ooh Lordy is new at #62 and the track that won him his EBBA, Out Of My System, re-enters at #89. Tom Grennan holds three positions as well: Found What I’ve Been Looking For (#21), Royal Highness (#24), but the best of them all, his just-released single Sober, crashes in at #48.
Jade Bird hits the jackpot with her latest single Lottery as well, by entering at #59, and Arp Frique‘s Nos Magia is new at #82.

Other entries this week are Amber Arcades – It Changes (#60), Lotto Boyzz feat. Vianni – Bim Bam (#69), Sea Girls – What For (#73), Harry Styles – Wild Thoughts (#78), Farah Elle – Teardrop (#95), Rosie Carney – Awake Me (#96), and The Surfing Magazines – New Day (#98).
