Good Friday my lovely music fans! I hope your week went fine and now you are ready for the weekend! This week I will surprise you with two new songs, both of which are special in their own ways. The first one is We don’t care by Akon and the second one – Remember my name by Fame. About Akon there is pretty much nothing to say, because just by saying his name, people know what you mean – hit song! The second song is a great rap remake of Fame and actually the premiere of the new version of the film in Greece is on October 1!
This week I’m going to start from the bottom of the chart and hopefully create some exciting feeling about who is number one. The fact that you can go directly to the chart and see the first position, is another thing but please bear with me.
So, number 13 in GRR HOT 15 this week is Souja Boy Tell ‘Em ft Sammie with their song Kiss me thru the phone. The hit fell with five positions and I’m afraid it will not be with us next week. But after all this is not bad news because the song was present in the chart for quite some time.
Number twelve is the newcomer Greek lady in the chart from last week. Very good first week for Exo Vges and Rallia Hristidou. I am glad that you appreciated the song and liked it. The second newcomer from last week, Jay Z ft Rihanna & Kannie West also made a huge jump. Run this town made a 3 positions climb and temporarily stopped on number 11. I am saying “temporarily”, because such combination of singers and such a hit will not sweep the bottom of the chart for long!
Lady Gaga disappointed me with her song Paparazzi. It did not make it all the way to the top and Gaga could not compete with the other ladies. Maybe the reason is because we are used to seeing her giving everything from herself on stage and in this song she is a bit reserved. This week Paparazzi fell with four positions and is not on number 10.
The Greek charmer Kostas Martakis keeps climbing slowly. This week his song Pio Konta went up with only one position and stopped at number 9. I guess the fight is too fierce for the TOP 5 and the male candidates are stepping aside to see, which lady will win…
Number eight is Sexy Bitch by David Guetta and Akon. Here’s Akon again! And yes, this song is also a success, because it climbed with three positions since last week and because all radio stations are playing it non-stop!
Number seven is I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. Up and down, up and down and this week the song is going up again – with three positions none the less! The second Greek boy in GRR HOT 15 is Sakis Rouvas with his song Pio Dinata is number six after a one position climb.
Now we are entering the TOP 5 and it’s getting hot! Nevena ft Slavi with their song Jestoka is at the bottom – number five after a one position fall. The song received many of your votes but unfortunately not all five ladies can be number one at the same time… Madonna stepped aside from the TOP 3 and her song Celebration fell with two positions. I have the feeling that Madonna will not give up that easy but let us wait and see.
Number three this week is Britney Spears with her song Radar. Surprisingly she managed to keep her position from last week and this means a lot because I am sure she will attack next week! A three positions jump brought Shakira and her song She Wolf to number 2 in the chart. Is she the number one candidate for next week or will she give the place to Britney or to Madonna? Hm-hm we will see!
And finally we come to number one! And this is Despina Vandi with her song Iparhi Zoi. The song has been in the chart for quite a while and this is no surprise because it’s a great hit! The song becoming such a hit can be thanks to Vandi’s summer tour, which ends tonight in Athens, where she will be joined on stage by the great Greek rapper NiVo!
