Notes about this week's new entries:
No air - Rochelle
19-year old Rochelle Perts won the latest series of the X Factor TV talent show recently and, as expected, her first single duly enters the various Dutch charts this week. She performed No Air (a cover of the Chris Brown/Jordin Sparks modern classic) in the final, which she went on to win with a massive 73 percent of the popular telephone/text message vote. Clearly the Dutch aren't fed up with any of these talent shows yet!
Hou vol, hou vast - Blof

A re-entry, as this song already featured in the RNW Dutch Top 10 two weeks ago. The band from Zeeland staged their own rock festival this weekend (called Concert at Sea) in their home province, on the North Sea coast.
