After almost sixteen successful years of charting on this list, Dutch rock-pop singer Anouk finally earns her first ever Number 1-hit with “Birds”, as she re-enters above the chart with incredibly high numbers!

In September 1997, Dutch pop-rock singer Anouk made her debut on the list with “Nobody’s Wife”. The single was met with universal acclaim from Dutch contemporary critics and marked the beginning of a long-running and highly successful career for Anouk. “Nobody's Wife" was the second single released from the Dutch singer-songwriter’s studio album, “Together Alone”, which subsequently also became a multi-platinum success. On this list, the hit single peaked at Number 2 behind the Spice Girls’ “Spice Up Your Life” and amassed over 70,000 points.

After her highly successful debut, Anouk went on to score a string of minor and major hits. Two big success include “Girl” and “Lost”, which were released in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Both singles peaked within the Top 3 and are amongst Anouk her highest-scoring releases on this list. In the late 00s, Anouk scored another major hit with “Three Days In a Row”, which entered the list at Number 2 and marked Anouk her highest opening to date.

Today, Anouk scores her first Number 1-hit, well over sixteen years into her career. Anouk re-enters at Number 1 with “Birds”, the official Dutch entry for this year’s Eurovision Contest. The single previously peaked at Number 26, but now reaches new heights due to Anouk her performance during the Eurovision Contest Finale last week. Anouk bumps Selena Gomez off the top spot, whom spent one week above the list with “Come & Get It”. Anouk has an extensive lead in the race for Number 1, with the strongest competition coming from Bruno Mars.
