This week's new entries:
8.    I'm no Superman – Jeronimo
Funny this. A fortnight ago, Dutch singer/actor Jeronimo was a complete unknown, but after Dutch daily De Telegraaf published his video, his career took off immediately. Jeronimo – who was born in Brazil, adopted by Dutch parents and raised in the Netherlands and Sri Lanka – is already dubbed “the Dutch Justin Bieber”, which is a bit odd as he's already 31 – almost twice the age of his Canadian counterpart.

10.    Ave Maria – Rolf Sanchez
TV talent shows – will they ever end? Not in the Netherlands, as one after the other fresh talent from these shows hits the charts with their singles. Rolf Sanchez (whose real name is Rolf Wienk) finished third in this year's X Factor series, which was won by Rochelle who's at number 4 in this week's Top Ten. “Ave Maria” has nothing to do with Schubert's or Bach's masterpieces, but is merely a cover of a 2002 hit by Spanish superstar David Bisbal.
