Elena Nikolova
For the most part this week GRR HOT 15 is calm when it comes to position changes. It seems the chart is reflecting the Balkan mood – hot and lazy. This though, does not change the fact that we are feeling the summer weather and we want to hear this year’s summer hits.
Zoom by Nevena, Marius Moga and NiVo jumped with one position and is now number one! The Balkan hit conquered the melodies in our minds faster than expected. Now that the song is leading the chart, I hope it will remain there for some time, because I am proud to see a successful Bulgarian hit!
Second in this week’s GRR HOT 15 is Together Forever, which left the first position and is now on number two. Playmen and Reckless have done a great job and this summer their song will be the same as Chris Lawyer’s We Gonna Feel It was last summer – a true hit!
Number three this week is Razorlight with their song Wire to Wire, number four is Hush Hush by Pussycat Dolls and number five is This is our night by Sakis Rouvas. No position change for all three songs but they shouldn’t despair because after all of them are in the top 5.
Tha ‘Mai Allios jumped up with three positions and now Elena Paparizou is number six. The My Number One girl is determined to win us over again. Spacemen also made a significant jump of 5 positions, which placed The Killers on number 7. The song is shooting for the TOP 5 and it will probably get in sooner than expected.
Unfortunately, Tamta is keeping her position and Kita Me is still number 8. Beautiful song but probably not understood by many. Either that or the summer mood does not let us listen to slow songs. Flo Rida is also not doing well. His song Sugar fell with two positions and is now on number nine. I guess it’s good Flo is going on a trans-global tour to promote his new album R.O.O.T.S…
Dime Piece was not as successful as expected, because the song fell with four positions and is currently on number 10. LiLana had to take a lot of ridicule from Bulgarians and from people all over the world. I don’t know if this is the reason why her song did not do so well in GRR HOT 15 or there is something else but it is a shame that the first Bulgarian singer who sang with a star like Snoop could not enjoy her success.
This week number eleven is Anna Vissi with her song Stin Pyra. The song has been racing up and down in the chart but this week she kept her position. Anna does not give up easy and it seems that GRR HOT 15 is her playground.
