Last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• Madonna : Fan times.

• Sextile : New album context. "yes, please." does not sound as good as I was hoping - based on their great (highlight) track "Women Respond To Base".

Most played tracks:

[no]

Noteworthy:

Ahoy,

guess what - I am catching up with my data...

 

Scrobble count:  206.123

Last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• Sampagne : New album context. "immerjung" hardly gave me anything.
• The Knocks & Dragonette : Those boppy tunes, that they have released this year... They should make an album. (Update: That seems to happen soon.)
• Kochkraft durch KMA : I guess, I'm becoming a fan...
  

Most played tracks:

• Kochkraft durch KMA - Ich sang die ganze Zeit von dir 2 : I really like that one.
• The Knocks & Dragonette - Revelation : What a bop!
  

Noteworthy:

• Abor & Tynna : I guess this refers more to their song "Baller" instead of their album "Bittersüß". Let's see, if this can trend or even chart.

【09】 Zah1de - Mona Lisa Motion : Say hello to a new artist with social media hype. And of course, that needs to be addressed in the lyrics. Idk if Universal did some headhunting for new talents, but this might be a name for the future.

• Anna Of The North : New release context. Her EP "Hei pa deg" sounds okay.
