It is mid October and even the weather in Greece has turned for the worst. Pouring rain all day but it’s hot! As if we are in the tropics! But I like it, as I have said before – I find it romantic. This Friday though I find it also a bit melancholic. One reason is our new song this week…This is it by Michael Jackson…not much more you can say about it! Even if you are not Michael’s fan, when you hear the song you feel a tingle inside of you and strangely you will feel warmer. It is precisely this tingle with the combination of the rain that made me feel melancholic today.
Well, my goal is not to make you sad on Friday night so let me go on and get to this week’s leader – Shakira with her song She Wolf. She is back to number one thanks to your votes from last week, which proves that the diva won over your hearts. All I can say is keep voting for your favorites and practically edit the chart yourself!
Number two and one position down is Sexy Bitch by David Guetta and Akon. The hit song received 12 of your votes, which were not enough to keep it at the first position. But still, number two is a great success and especially if we keep in mind that the song is number one in many international charts!
Keeping her position from last week is Madonna with Celebration. This month Madonna is looking at us from the cover of Rolling Stones magazine. In it she gave a very interesting interview. You can check it out for yourself but one of the most interesting things in it is that Madonna can see herself in Lady Gaga - “In the early part of my career, for sure. When I saw her, she didn't have a lot of money for her production, she's got holes in her fishnets, and there're mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she's got that “It” factor. It's nice to see that at a raw stage," says the Queen of Pop.
Four positions up and on number four is Pitbull with his new hit Room Service. The rapper is going full power towards the top and I bet most of you hope to see him there. Give him some votes and I can make it happen!
Rallia Hristidou is on number five with her song Ekso Vges. I was surprised to see that she got three of your votes, because after all she is a Greek singer and not many of you know her. So this is good – that means that you like her music! Great! This is exactly what I wanted – to introduce you to some nice Greek modern music. I can assure you that as more hits come out, you’ll be able to hear them!
Two positions down and on number six is Britney Spears with her song Radar. The song is going down but it is probably because Britney has a new hit – Three. The song might make it in GRR HOT 15 next week. Stay tuned!
Black Eyed Peas are going down slowly. This week their song I gotta feeling fell with one position and landed on number seven. The following three songs went up with one position! And this is Run this town by Jay Z, Rihanna and Kannie West, We don’t care by Akon and Remember my name by Fame.
Jump by Flo Rida and Nelly Furtado went up with two positions and stopped at number eleven. Even though her song is a hit Despina Vandi had started to go down in the chart. The reason for this is because she has been part of it for a long time and many new hits came. But thanks to your votes Iparhi Zoi did not fall out of GRR HOT 15 and kept its last week’s position – number twelve.
The Greek charmer Sakis Rouvas fell with eight positions this week. His remix Pio Dinata did not manage to fight off the lady presence at the top and this is why this week he is on number 13. The other Greeks in the chart are doing alright. Kokkina Halia entered GRR HOT 15 last week and for the past seven days their song Figame managed to go up with one position.
This is from me for this week…I hope you enjoy this week’s chart! Have a happy weekend everybody!
