Talk about New Music Monday (sorry, Simon! :)). This week’s Top of the EU Pops features as many as seventeen new tracks. That’s one-seven brand new Number One’s, all over Europe. And it has only been a week since our last show. Turns out the union can move fast. Whodathunk?

The playlist for this week’s show runs for almost an hour and it contains a couple of global favourites. Including Beyoncé, who continues atop the Irish chart but has also conquered the Dutch chart in the process. German-speaking part of Europe, however, seems to be in the thralls of Benson Boone.

Then again, there are some genuine gems in there as well. Not in the least altgrandma and their Thin Ice, which just happened to be Track of the Week last week here on Ara City Radio.

And no, it is not just you. We really are entering the time of the year when most European music charts are gearing towards some sort of a Eurosong candidate song or the other. This weeks’s Finnish Number One is a prime example. It is not a Eurosong track but it might as well have been.

Top of the EU Pops features on Ara City Radio every Monday at 11 am. In case you missed it, here’s this week’s playlist. Give it a spin and share it with friends!
