Kris Kross Amsterdam, Antoon and Sigourney K. climb to Number 1 on this week’s chart with “Vluchtstrook” after three consecutive weeks at Number 2. The hit collaboration reaches peak streaming figures, finally surpassing MEAU her “Dat Heb Jij Gedaan”. The single samples The Party Animals’ 90s-classic “Have You Ever Been Mellow”. Kris Kross Amsterdam previously sampled or covered other 90s/00s classics; such as Shakira’s “Whenever, Wherever”, Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine” and Nasty’s “Een Moment Zonder Jou”. As “Vluchtstrook” finally pulls up to Number 1, Kris Kross Amsterdam earns their Number 1-hit, while Antoon earns his second chart-topper and Sigourney K. her very first.

Meanwhile, Tiësto and Ava Max move into the Top 10 with their new song “The Motto”. The single initially peaked at #37 in December, but after the Christmas songs dropped off the chart, “The Motto” re-entered and soared up the list. This week, Tiësto and Ava Max finish at Number 10, aided by growing streaming numbers and playlisting. “The Motto” is both Dutch DJ Tiësto as the featured Ava Max their sixth Top 10-hit on my personal chart.

Meanwhile, Canadian pop star The Weeknd’s new single “Sacrifice” is this week’s highest new entry, landing at #15. The single is taken from The Weeknd’s new album Dawn FM, which was released to critical acclaim earlier this week. Further down, British teen singer Lauren Spencer-Smith makes her chart debut with “Fingers Crossed”. The song recently went viral on TikTok and became an overnight success, especially on European Spotify. At Number 34, MEAU and Paul de Munnik score another Top 40-hit with “Stap Maar In Bij Mij”, while OneRepublic earn their nineteenth Top 40-entry with the feelgood “Sunshine”.
