We witness Scream & Shout at number 1 for a sixth week. The track now matches the result of the best performing single by Britney Spears so far, … Baby One More Time. The debut single spent six weeks at the top in Germany almost exactly 14 years ago.
And also will.i.am now matches with the current number 1 single his best performance at the top so far – it was Shut Up by his band The Black Eyed Peas which occupied the top spot in 2003/04 for six weeks.
Will both together go a week further this time?
Macklemore & Ryan Wilson feat. Wanz climb to number 3 with their Thrift Shop. In Switzerland the track this week reached Number 1.
It is just a week to go for the full release of Rihanna’s next Single Stay on CD. But the track steadily rises and this current week reaches number 5. It is her 19th Top 10 hit at all and the 10th alone in this decade. Eight of these ten song reached the Top 5.
On the way up DJ Antoine wants to become the next David Guetta. His current single Bella Vita is rising to number 15 matching now the peak of Sky Is The Limit – the title track of his current album not released as a single yet. Number 15 is the highest position so far since his 2012 smash hit Ma chérie hit number 6.
Probably the first German act on the field of Northern Soul is Leslie Clio. After her first chart entry Told You So in summer last year she now returns with I Couldn’t Care Less which is choosen for backgrounding the new Ford Fiesta Campaign. The spot lifts the song up to numberr 31 – a new peak for the artist.
It is carnival time in the list. DJ Ötzi’s new single Wie ein Komet is entering the list at number 33 – it is the highest seasonal song followed closely by Andreas Gaballier and his recording of I sing a Liad für di. Also Mickie krause takes a leap with his song Nur noch Schuhe an.
Also new is Cat Ballou with Et jitt kein Wood and Kasalla finally can reach the upper half with their Pirate for the first time. The song entered the list for the very first time one year ago.
Winner of the party season also are Stefan Raab and Cologne based HÖHNER..
Scream & Shout still is number 1 – it’s the fifth week for will.i.am & Britney Spears. Question is: will Britney match next week their best result so far from 1999?
The 48th chart single of Depeche Mode is crowned as the highest new entry at number 2. Heaven is the first Top 10 hit for the band in this recent decade –the 4th consecutive. It is already the 11th single that can reach number 2 or 1.
The second track on the single All That’s Mine enters the charts as a standalone purchase at number 86.
Finally CD version of Castle Of Glass recorded by Linkin Park is in stores now. It propells the track back to number 10 matching the peak two weeks ago.
British productions are gaining strenghth again. There are four tracks with at list a guest role of a British act inside the Top 10 and two more between number 11 and 20. A presence not seen since February last year. To compare that figures: from the US there are 5 tracks inside the Top 10 and four more under the following 10 places.
Imagine Dragons can reach with their debut album Night Visions number 6 of the album list. The release also propells official single It’s Time into the Top 20. And the opening track of the album Radioactive also finds a lot of purchasers. So it begins chart life at number 23. The song is mostly known from its use in the game Assassin’s Creed III.
The big success of the album list this week comes from veteran HEINO. His cover album Mit freundlichen Grüßen broke the record of being the fastest selling digital album of all times. By the way it is Heino’s very first number one album
The balance of his single hits is not that much impressive at all. Anyhow three tracks of his album are entering the list. The best performance can be seen by digital single Junge (a cover of a hit by Die Ärzte) which lands pretty at number 27 – in the week of it’s official release it completely failed in entering the list. At the end of the survey one can find also Sonne (originally recorded by Rammstein #91) and Haus am See (originally by Peter Fox, #96).
Probably much more impressive than the ranks achieved is the fact that Heino is back in the singles list after a23 years long break. His whole career as a hit singles artist now spans completely 45 years. That’s not bad.
The recent list covers the week 1st to 7th February. Still 10 days to go for carnival days. Nonetheless the sound of carnival starts to invade the German list. Still the most loved party track is I sing a Liad für Di by Austrian Andreas Gaballier. The track flies 71–44 in its 52nd chart week and reaches the highest rank since his peak weeks back in August 2011.
After its re-appearance due to a performance on DSDS Idiot by Michelle & Matthias Reim is recognized as a party hit too. It climbs 20 places to number 49 and reaches the upper half of the list for the first time since its original release 10 years ago. Doing so it overtakes also his current hit single Einsamer Stern.
Further down the list there is also a new song by Markus Becker and some other well known party animals like Mickie Krause, Höhner or Stefan Raab in the list.
Very low down the list there is the next hit for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis growing. Can’t Hold Us now reaches the Top 75 and it’s an assured thing we will see them much higher in a few weeks.
On February the 1st next season of Die ultimative Chartshow started. The first episode was about the most successful singles of the nineties. Landing on number 13 was Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio featuring L.V.. The song still got power and rises 96–83 in its 33rd chart week.
And the last TV impact of this week comes from the first recall show of DSDS 13 on February 2nd. The trio Maurice, Kevin and Sergen performed Halt dich an mir fest and the original by Revolverheld feat. Marta Jandová can enter the survey once again at number 97.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz now reach the Top 10 in Germany also. Thrift Shop lands at number 8 and it is worth mentioning that the track is purchased only via their own independent label. I would call it a ray of future which shines through the list these days.
Swiss DJ Antoine has released a new album calling Sky Is The Limit which storms to number 6 at the album charts. The title track is the highest new entry at number 15 this week in the singles list although it is not scheduled for a release as a single itself. Additionally official single Bella Vita reaches the list at number 37 and a third track called House Party (feat. B-Case & U-JEAN) lands at number 94.
Rihanna’s next single Stay enters the Top 20 and is on the way to become her 19th Top 10 hit. The release as CD single is scheduled for February 15th.
TV soap Berlin - Tag und Nacht causes a next hit. It is the title song that now enters at number 32. So far only character/actor Ole (ohne Kohle) had a short chart success last summer (the numerous regular pop hits supported by using them in the backround are not counted here).
DSDS fever starts – on 26th and 30th January the recall shows were aired. Big winner was the group with Wincent Weiß. They performed Wie soll ein Mensch das ertragen originally recorded by Philipp Poisel. That version climbs to number 41 this week again and gives the track the highest rank achieved since last September.
Also the candidates performing Idiot were successful – the original by Michell & Matthias Reim re-enters after a two years break. (By the way: Matthias Reim just released his new album making the track Einsamer Stern flying to number 49).
Finally French Laura Kleinas got some fans – the song performed by her In Love With The World finds its way in the list.
will.i.am &Britney Spears hang on a third week at Number 1. Britney now matches the success of her predecessor number 1 Lucky in 2000.
Icona Pop Feat. Charli XCX rise to number 3 making I Love It the most successful Swedish production since number 1 hit I Follow Rivers.
Sido goes 8–5 with In meinem Kopf which gives him a Top 5 hit for the third time in his career.
On Tour in Germany, Number 1 in Austria – CRO makes a 14–8 leap with Einmal um die Welt and reaches a new peak with this song. It is already the 24th chart week which makes the song the slowest climber since Ma Chérie reached its peak at number 6 in May last year.
Linkin Park’s Castle Of Glass still two weeks ahead the full release on CD enters the Top 10 – it is the fourth Top 10 hit of the band and follows the number 2 song Burn It Down which re-enters at number 93.
This week we do have 12 new entries and 11 re-entries – meaning it is the biggest turnover of that young year so far. So the charts get back to the speed they had at the end of 2012.
The most present artist of 2012 is starting the new year: Pitbull delivers the highest new entry with Feel This Moment at number 12. It is his 21st charting track in this decade and the 25th at all. His partner on the song Christina Aguilera also counts 25 chart hits with this entry and now spends 15 consecutive years inside the German charts. The single itself will be available on CD from February 22nd on.
With the success of Ellie Goulding’s Lights the label scheduled a re-release of the single CD for February 15th. This week the song rises 26–19 and probably this track will become her first Top 10 hit on German shores.
Also worth mentioning Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz reach the Top 20 with Thrift Shop. The song still isn’t signed to a label and sells directly from the artist’s platform. That’s unbelievable and probably shows what will happen in a few years within the whole music business.
Finally Nicki Minaj’s Va Va Voom catches fire and reaches the upper half of the list.
After her performance on Wetten dass…Leona Lewis is back in the list with her last hit Trouble. So far it spent only five weeks inside the list. That’s poor for a star like Leona Lewis is. Caligola adds one more week to the summit of its Forgive Forget after performing at the show. Now the track counts 20 chart weeks.
Rita Ora’s How We Do (Party) spends rising the last week on digital sales only . The track reaches now number 40.
Used at DschungelcampPhilipp Poisel returns to the list with Ich will nur. It is only the fourth chart week and number 41the second highest place it ever reached.
Promoted by that success also Wie soll ein Mensch das ertragen returns to the list. The album Project Seerosenteich just reached gold status selling 100.000 copies.
AVICII VS Nicky Romero steadily rising. They reach number 44 in their third week in the list.
The release of the Django unchained soundtrack helps three songs into the list as solo tracks. First of all Anthony Hamilton can enter the survey withFreedom at number 55. Further down the list we also find the main title Django by Luis Bacalov, Rocky Roberts (by the way one of the very few Argentinian musicians who can enter the German list). And finally at number 100 there is Rick Ross with 100 Black Coffins.
The album of Kollegah & Farid BangJung, Brutal, Gutaussehend 2 is scheduled for February 8th. Till now there are four tracks released before. Number 4 Stiernackenkommando enters teh list this week.
A complete week after releasing the album LONG.LIVE.A$AP fully the artist’s single F**kin’ Problems returns back to the singles charts and reaches a new peak with number 86.
Carnival season is at the door: Mickie Krause sneaks through the list. Two weeks ago his Nur noch Schuhe an visited the survey at number 99 now it re-enters at 90. The peak of the song was back in August last year at number 32.
