Going on holiday? And wondering which tracks you might get bombarded with over the next fourteen days while you’re relaxing near the pool? Well don’t worry any longer, because GloPop is here to give you an overview of what’s currently topping the chart in five of Europe’s biggest music industries.

Spain: Cali & El Dandee feat. David Bisbal – No Hay 2 Sin 3 (Gol) (out Now!)

Alejandro Rengifo (Cali) and Mauricio Rengifo (Dandee), together Cali & Dandee, are a Colombian dance duo who have teamed up with Spain’s most popular singer David Bisbal for an uptempo summer dance anthem entitled ‘No Hay 2 Sin 3 (Gol)’. The song’s been in the Spanish chart for 9 weeks but has only managed to attain the number 1 this week. It’s the second number 1 single for the Colombian duo.

Germany: Lykke Li – I follow Rivers (Out now!)

Swedish songstress Lykke Li will be chuffed. Although her track ‘I follow Rivers’ has been out since 2008, it’s now nearly three four years later proving to be a massive hit at the continent. Belgium, the Netherlands and France have fallen for her mesmerizing indie-pop track last year, and now it’s Germany’s turn to welcome Lykke Li as their number one.

Italy: Gusttavo Lima – balada boa tche tche rere (Out Now!)

22 year old Brazilian pop singer Gusttavo Lima, has followed into the footsteps of country man Michel Teló and is currently conquering many European countries with his summer hit ‘Balada Boa (Tche Tche rere)’. Job done in Italy however, as the man’s steadily holding on to the number 1 position for six full weeks. The whole of Europe has fallen for Brazilian pop so be aware!

France: Carly Rae Jepsen – Call My Name (Out Now!)

Canadian superstar Carly Rae Jepsen, proves to be a strong contender for the end of year charts. Her global debut ‘Call Me Maybe’ has taken its number 1 position back in France after being number 1 for a week in June. The total amount of weeks on number 1 in France comes down to three weeks. Well done Carly!

United Kingdom: Maroon 5 – Payphone ft Wiz Khalifa (Out Now)

Things looked rather grim at first for Maroon 5 latest single ‘Payphone’ when a released cover of their track made it nearly to the top. However good news for the American guys, who managed to take the number 1 last week. Whether they can hold on for another week will be difficult. the Calvin Harris Remix of Florence+ The Machine’s track ‘Spectrum’ seems to be having the number 1 in the bag. We’ll find out tomorrow.

One To Watch: Gusttavo Lima – Balada

2012 is shaping up to be a huge year for Brazil. A few months ago we’ve already mentioned Michel Teló who’s currently scoring a massive hit with ‘Ai Se Eu Te Pego’ worldwide. (For the review check here).

Following in his footsteps is 23 year old Brazilian singer Gusttavo Lima, who’s single ‘Balada’ is slowly starting to appear in several charts worldwide, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he does a Teló. The singer rose to fame in 2010 when he signed with Brazilian record company Som Livre and has since released 3 albums, of which two live, and 7 singles including ‘Balada’.

It’s a busy time for the young singer. Since January 2012, he embarked on a first international tour with shows in US Latin markets in Florida, and later on in Atlanta (Georgia), Newark (New Jersey) and and Revere (Massachusetts).

Expect a fun, joyful, latin song which we personally find a tad better than the offering made by Michel Teló. The intro is a very poppy 90ies riddle which lasts about 10 seconds before it bursts into its latin feel good rythm. Perhaps a tad more difficult to sing along, although the ‘che che re reche che che re reche che che’ bits help the song massively stand out.

Enjoy the song

No details yet on a UK release but we’ll follow it up and let you know as soon as we hear more.
