Story number one: Katy Perry is not Nr.1. Jason Derulo Feat. 2 Chainz is.
After Superstar winner Beatrice Egli and German raop idol CRO Jason Derulo is the third act in 2013 who can enter the list direct at number 1. Coincidently exactly one year ago we too had a straight number 1 entry with Lila Wolken by Marteria • Yasha • Miss Platnum.
Sliding one place AVICII is no longer the champion of the charts. Instead his album True enters the album list at number 5 and propels five tracks into the singles list. There are Wake me up! at number 2, Hey Brother new at number 24, You Make Me rising 49–40, Addicted To You new at number 71 and LE7ELS re-entering at number 88. The Swedish DJ is only the third act invading the survey with five tracks simultanously. Before that feat were done only by CRO and will.i.am.
More Top 20 action:
Martin Garrix goes Top 5 with Animals. He falls only one rank short to eclipse the success of last Dutch Top 10 act Caro Emerald from the year 2011.
French Woodkid stops his Run Boy Run at number 11 after it is heavily promoted by its use for a vodafone TV commercial. It's the highest rank the artist achieved ever.
The Imagine Dragons launch their third Top 20 hit in Germany with On Top Of The World. It goes up to number 13 this current week. They got big support by their opening concert for the New Pop Festival 2013 in Baden Baden. The event was broadcasted on TV and the internet.
Miley Cyrus rises with Wrecking Ball which lands at number 16 and matching the success of We Can't Stop from last week. It is the highest rank so far for the artist.
And also Family of the Year enters the Top 20 with the song Hero that can reach number 19.
German productions sliding down in popularity. Highest German song is Das kann uns keiner nehmen by Revolverheld which comes in at number 17. That's the lowest result since start of May when Sido's Bilder im Kopf were slowly fading away and landing at number 18.
But there is some hope a few places lower. New German rap star Alligatoah sees his long sleeper Willst du staedily rising. This week it climbs to number 20.
Last story this week: With 15 new entries the list reaches the third highest amount of new songs in one week. Only the issues March 1st (19 new entries) and the one May 31st (24 new entries) looked newer this year.

AVICII still delivers the most selling single of the week. Wake Me Up! now holds the 10th week firm at the Top. Last track doing so was Rihanna's Diamonds at the tail end of 2012 meaning Wake Me Up! right now is the longest standing Nr.1 of the year. Technically it still can be dethroned, but well … do you believe in miracles?
AVICII not only rewrites the history of the year 2013 – he also approaches the history of Swedish pop music. With 10 weeks on Top in Germany Wake Me Up! is the longest standing No.1 hit coming from Sweden since 19 years. In November 1994 Cotton Eye Joe by the Rednex landed at the Top and hold there for exactly 10 weeks. As far as I know never before a Swedish production performed more successful.
Martin Garrix now hits the Top 10 – his track Animals lands at number 8 this current week.
After released on CD We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus gets a sales boost and jumps 39–16 in its 14th chart week. With that she reaches a new peak in her whole career. So far 7 Things from 2008 was her highest climbing single stopped at number 17. Upcoming single Wrecking Ball also takes a leap landing at number 25 this week.
Belgian stromae does have a second Top10 hit in Germany with Papaoutai that sits pretty at number 7. His breakthrough track alors on danse also gains some new attention and re-enters at number 72 this current week. It is the highest ranking the track can achieve since January 2011.
A last gossip story: Discobitch is back with its hit C'est beau la bourgeoisie after the track is used in a commercial spot for the new Citroen DS3. In 2009 the recording made it up to number 61 in Germany.

Now it's done! We do have a second No.1 hit that can hold at the top for 9 weeks. The one doing so is Swedish DJ AVICII with his Europe wide hit Wake Me Up!.
If one is surprised bout that double figure of long standing No1 hits – well, the year 2012 we had with Nooossaa! by Michel Telo and Diamonds by Rihanna two hits spending 10 weeks at the top.
Next single track by AVICII You Make Me enters the list at number 34 this recent week.
Ellie Goulding sees her single Burn rising two places to Nr.4 in its sixth chart week. For the first time she is listed inside the Top 5 and additionally she right now is the second most visible female within the German list in 2013. 62 times she was listed so far. The crown belongs to queen Rihanna who so far has 82 listings under her belt.
After it became a hit in the UK also Sonnentanz by Austrian Klangkarussell is released in new mixes and a completely new vocal version in German speaking countries too. It makes a return to the Top 20 for the first time in half a year. So far the track spent 56 weeks inside the survey – it is the second longest run for a hit right after Tage wie diese by Die Toten Hosen that is listed for the 75th consecutive week right now.
Mentioning Die Toten Hosen – the band right now is the German act most listed in 2013. So far leader CRO now is eclipsed by one single listing – he "only" collected 72 untill now.
Dutch DJ Martin Garrix finally becomes famous also in Germany. His track Animals lands at number 17 – in Switzerland the track already is Number 2. He is the most successful Dutch act since Caro Emerald hit the Top 10 in May 2011.
Past issue I paid attention to two acts that had a bunch of chart hits without touching the Top 10. This week German electronic prince SCHILLER beats all the feats mentioned before. With his new album Opus storming to number 1 on the album list the most touching album from it Swan Lake makes it into the singles list also. The remake of the well known Tchaikovsky song lands at number 57 and is nothing less than the 17th singles chart entry for Schiller. He never peaked higher than number 12.

It is week number eight at the Top for Wake Me Up! by AVICII. It only falls one week short to eclipse the so far longest holding Nr.1 hit in 2013 Scream & Shout by will.i.am & Britney Spears.
First time since the first week of May this year there is no German song inside the Top 10. Highest production comes in at number 11 in the face of CRO and his Whatever.
With teasing single Too Many Friends from their upcoming album Loud Like Love Placebo reach a new peak in the singles charts by entering directly at number 14. It is the 14th charting single in the band's 18 years long career. Their first chart hit entered the list in 2000 – since than they've never been placed higher then rank 32 in summer 2009. Now their chart history is written new.
The lack of successful single hits is a well known thing. For comparison Iron Maiden charted 15 times in the singles list never climbing higher then number 23. And strongly hyped Oasis had 18 charting singles all stoping lower then number 17.
Also never reaching the Top 10 Miley Cyrus can launch her 11th chart hit in Germany. Wrecking Ball enters on a low number 57.
