August 5th 16:

* fifth week at #1 for Imany with Don't Be So Shy - best French female since Desireless in late summer 1987 - Russian remix duo Filatov & Karras now matches the result of t.A.T.u. which had a five weeks #1 run with All The Things She Said in February/March 2003 which is so far the most successful Russian act at all

* new inside the Top 10: Bonfire by Felix Jaehn Feat. ALMA - it is Felix Jaehn's fifth top 10 hit in little more than 1,5 years - only jeder für jeden (feat. Herbert Grönemeyer failed reaching this area - singer ALMA is best performing Finnish act since 2011 when Sunrise Ave hit #3 with Hollywood Hills

* British artists again perform underrepresented as there are only 13 inside the list - highest one Kyla alongside Drake on One Dance clinging on at #9

Jan 22nd 16: Felix Jaehn's third no.1

The German charts takes up speed. At least at the top side of the list. Again there is a new #1 coming from project EFF which is the acronym for DJ Felix Jaehn and singer Mark Forster. Stimme jumps there from #4 in its 8th chart week and it is the third #1 for Felix Jaehn within a year. Almost exactly one year ago he had his first appearance at the top as the remixer of OMI's Cheerleader. Mark Forster so far had a #2 intermezzo with Au Revoir in 2014.

Shawn Mendes too is rising–Stitches now sits at #2 and serves as the best performing Canadian single since early 2007 when Nelly Furtado dominated the list for six weeks with All Good Things (Come To An End). Of course in between there where two other #1 hits featuring Canadians. In 2009 it was again Nelly Furtado alongside James Morrison and past year we celebrated the young Francesco Yates who gave his voice for Robin Schulz's Sugar

At #10 Lukas Graham penetrate the top 10 with 7 Years. Not counting Mø's appearance past year this is the first Danish act since 2013 that touches the top 10.


Gainer of the week are:
Sigala that sees follow up Sweet Lovin enter the top 20 in its 8th chart week.
And G-Eazy X Bebe Rexha whose Me Myself & I attracts more and more people giving the single a sales boost plus a 38–17 jump. With only three chart weeks the song is one of only two real new hits that were released in the past four weeks.
Norwegian Alan Parker is on the way of becoming succeeder of KYGO. His single Faded jumps 39 ranks to #30 in its second chart week.

Highest new entry wouldn't be a story this week. Landing at #41 Fast Car by British jonas Blue Featuring Dakota is another tropical house production. The story behind is the (non)success of the original. Recorded by Tracy Chapman in 1988 the single had a short appearance at #81 two years ago only. Now the tune seems catching much more people as it gains attention and success as never before.

Season no.13 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS) starts with making re-entries of elder hits. say something originally recorded by A Great big World and Christina Aguilera is chosen very often since it was first released in 2013. Also this year a candidate performed the tune and propels the original back to #70. To mention the name of the man who did it: Erkan Yagci.

Farid Bang's contribution to the German issue of the Creed - Rocky's Legacy soundtrack enters at #95. Creed is Farid Bang's 18th chart entry–none of them even touched the Top20. This result is far the weakest followed by 15 non top20-hits of Wir sind Helden, Iron Maiden and Brings.

June 26th 15: Best No.1 Since Happy

What a chart run! Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) spends an eighth week at the very top in Germany. It is this the first no.1 hit since Pharrell Williams' Happy with such an amount of weeks at #1. Back in February and March 2014 the song was ruling completely–only last week in February Happy had to stand back for a week giving way for Mr Probz and his Waves.
The last song spending eight consecutive weeks at #1 was Wake Me Up! by Swedish AVICII. The track occupied the top for full 10 weeks from mid July to end of September 2013.

With this current week Felix Jaehn eclipses the success of Robin Schulz who so far also collected nine weeks at the top. Partner Jasmine Thompson now is the most successful British female singer of this decade according to her weeks at #1.


At #2 Anna Naklab feat. Alle Farben & YouNotUs reaches a new peak with supergirl. The cover version of the Reamonn hit back from 2000 now performs better than the original. That one stopped at #4.

With Sarah Conner and her Wie schön du bist clinging on at #3 the complete top3 is in German hands a situation last seen exactly one year ago. Back then we even had the first four songs coming from Germany and even sung in German.


New inside the top 10 French FEDER Ft Lyse enters at #8 with Goodbye. After Turkey, Bulgaria, Russia, the Ukraine, France, Belgium and Switzerland the track finally also in Germany catches fire and probably is one of the summer tracks of 2015.With Goodbye there are seven deep house inspired productions inside the top 10. We all know this sound will join us for another season.


Song of the week on Sing meinen Song comes again from wirtz whose songs were performed on May 23rd. His own version of Keine Angst is the highest new entry this week. In contrast to last weeks song Wenn sie diesen Tango hört that entered at #14 Keine Angst only can gain #51. It is this the second lowest new entry of the week–or call it highest new entry–only on January 9th the highest new entry started worse.
Keine Angst itself is a song released in 2008 as an album track and later as single but never had chart success. It is the third solo song for Wirtz getting chart honours.

After first three episodes of Empire were aired on June 24th a track taken out off the score enters the list. Good Enough is credited to Jussie Smollett and charts differently to the US market where Keep Your Money charted as first track.
Having an Empire song inside the survey marks a return of a giant producer into the list. It is no one else than Timbaland who gets his first new material into the charts since 2013 when he produced The 20/20 Experience for fellow friend JT.

June 19th 15:

Well Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) holds firm at no.1 and now is the longest running no.1 track in 2015. Last song spending seven weeks at the top was lovers on the sun by David Guetta feat. Sam Martin in late summer 2014.
Felix Jaehn–producer of current no.1–also now is the artist collecting most no.1 weeks in 2015 followed by Ellie Goulding and partner Jasmine Thompson who both so far count seven weeks.

KYGO climbs one further place to #2 with his new hit Stole The Show and now becomes the most successful Norwegian act since Marit Larsen occupied no.1 for five weeks with If A Song Could Get Me You in August and September 2009.

supergirl by Anna Naklab feat. Alle Farben & YouNotUs enters the top 5 in its 10th chart week. The cover of the Reamonn hit from 2000 stops one short to its original peak at #4. It is already the second top 10 entry for German DJ Alle Farben who debuted a year ago with She Moves - Far Away by peaking at #9.


Highest new entry is the winning song of fifth episode of Sing meinen Song aired on June 16th. Wirtz lands his version on Wenn sie diesen Tango hört originally recorded by PUR but never released as a single on #14. It is three ranks better than Yvonne Catterfeld did last week and so the peak so far this year. 2014 season saw Sarah Connor flying to #12 with her version on Keine ist wie du–that's the all over peak of songs recorded for the TV show so far.


KC Rebell's fifth album Fata Morgana was released and directly flies to #1. The success also propells some single tracks into the list. Best selling of all Bist du real (feat. Moé) which lands at number 15 and gives the rapper his highest peak so far. Additionally there is Augenblick (Feat. Summer Cem) at #71.

German productions are very visible inside the survey. We do have 5 German productions inside the top 10 plus 5 further down to #20. All in all there 30 productions with German artists inside the list.


A last gimmick at the end. Royal weddings are pop. As on the ceremony of Prince Carl Philipp of Sweden and Sofia a singer staged with Fix You the original by Coldplay enters the list at number 89 again.

June 12th 15:

Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) by Felix Jaehn Feat. Jasmine Thompson sits pretty at #1 for a sixth consecutive week and now is alongside Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding the single with most weeks at the very top.
It is likely that we will see Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) at the very top next week too. As least as the iTunes list looks like there is no real competitor around. Well–the song might have good perspectives of becoming the best selling track in 2015. Of course before that challenge is done there are slightly more than six months to go.

The only new track inside the top10 is already 12 weeks in the list. It is Unter meiner Haut by DJ duo Gestört aber geil & Koby Funk Feat. Wincent Weiss. It took the track a long way to finally enter the list. Now it seems it will join this summer.


Highest new entry lands at number 17. It is Yvonne Catterfeld's version on Hey originally recorded by Andreas Bourani. The latter one entered the list two weeks ago at number 30 after it was performed on Sing meinen Song. Since June 5th the full compilation to the show is available, shots to #1 and brings Yvonne Catterfeld and her version on Hey an immediate Top20 hit. It is the second song this year that can land that high which gives the singer a real come back after eight an a half year.
This entry makes us having nine German productions inside the top20. A feat not seen for some long years.

The episode aired on June 9th evolved some gainers too. First of all Christina Stürmer herself sees her latest single Was wirklich bleibt jumping to #26 her highest peak since two years. Xavier Naidoo's take on her Mitten unterm Jahr enters at #31. It is the 40th solo chart entry for the singer and together with his rendition on Auf uns by the Sing meinen Song Vol.2 Allstars he now is one of the singers with most chart entries of all time in different constellations as there are Söhne Mannheims, XAVAS, Brothers Keepers, Zeichen der Zeit and of course the single with The Voice of Germany. All in all he is featured as solo or guest artist on 65 songs entering the charts. This is more than Madonna, John Lennon, Scooter or Bushido achieved so far. Only Peter Alexander (81 hits) and Paul McCartney (82 hits) so far collected more.

Further songs entering the charts:
Du hast mein Herz gebrochen by WIRTZ at #41. The original by Yvonne Catterfeld was a #1 hit in 2004.
Schlaflied covered by Andreas Bourani at #48–the original was recorded by Die Prinzen.
Auf uns in a version sang by the Sing meinen Song Vol.2 Allstars together at #60, which gives original singer Andreas Bourani a fourth simultaneous chart entry. The original recording of Auf uns sits pretty at #51 in its 59th chart week right now.


Very similar concept–different show: Channel VOX more and more establishes itself as TV for cool music. 30 minutes after Sing meinen Song VOX shows Meylensteine a music programme hosted by singer Gregor Meyle. He is visiting musicians and artists, talks with them and of course plays their and his famous songs. The show becomes more and more fans and so the singer can generate some proper sales too. His biggest hit so far Keine ist wie du reenters the list at #66 in its 10th chart week. The song first appeared on the survey exactly a year ago when the singer was guest on the first season of Sing meinen Song. The version by Sarah Connor who was one of the stars visited comes in again at #94.

June 5th 15: KYGO hits top 5 for a second time

No change at the very top. Still Felix Jaehn feat. Jasmine Thompson still sit pretty at #1 with Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better). It is the fifth week for the song which makes it as successful as Prayer in C by Lily Wood & The Pricks and Robin Schulz who set the record as best selling deep house track ever. Also Ain't Nobody Better approaches slowly the success of Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding which serves so far as the single with most #1 weeks in 2015 so far. One week to go for recent #1 to equal the result dating back to March this current year.

Back at number 2 Jason Derulo is with Want To Want Me.

Norwegian DJ KYGO gets a second Top10 hit after he was performing on the (second) final of Germany's Next Top Model on May 28th. The first final scheduled for mid May was interrupted cause of a bomb thread. Now his Stole The Show goes 11–4 in its 11th chart week and only shortly misses the peak of predecessor Firestone. It is the fifth Top10 hit coming from a Norwegian artist within 14 months. This week there are two songs simultaneously inside the top 10 and six inside the Hot 100–an impressive feat which is never seen before.

Also new inside the Top 10 next single by David Guetta is. Hey Mama (Featuring Nicki Minaj & Afrojack) collected nine chart weeks already as an album cut from Listen released in early December 2014. After new remixes swapping around especially the one with additional vocals by Bebe Rexha the track again started rising up the survey now landing at number 9. It is David Guetta's 15th top 10 hit, Nicki Minaj already has four top 10 hits under her name and Afrojack invades the top 10 for a second time.


Highest new entry almost sets a negative record as SIDO's first single from his upcoming album VI lands at number 40. Only once in 2015 a highest new entry started chart life worse. It was on January 9th when a lack of new released stuff causes regularly absences of good new entries. Wether classic rap track Ackan will rise higher is doubtful–the biggest hits of Sido were more pop appealed productions.


At number 50 we can find Skrillex for the very first time inside the upper half of the list. Where are Ü now is his fifth chart track at all and has some support by DIPLO who appears as solo artist for the second time inside the top 50–as part of Major Lazer he knows how it feels at the top end too– and Justin Bieber who missed the upper ranks for the past 18 months. So this track seems a highly successful production.

May 22nd 15: The Week Of The Superstar Final

The sensation to tell today is: There is no new no.1. Still Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) by Felix Jaehn Feat. Jasmine Thompson rules both the official singles (sales) charts and the newly established Mega Charts. It is this the third week for the song and it now is hard on the way of becoming one of the most successful deep house no.1 tracks ever.
Midweek leader Jason Derulo finally lands at #2 with his Want To Want Me and has good perspectives being the hardest contestant to Felix Jaehn–but Swedish Eurovision entry by Måns Zelmerlöw won't win tonight.

Calling these little action sensational would be a cheating–the true sensation is that the winner of casting monster show DSDS Severino (Seeger) misses completely the Top. And that's not enough. By landing at number 10 with Hero Of My Heart he almost completely fails.
Although the rates of the show held on a low level compared to the 2000er years the show still had its audience. The big crash for the winner came right after the final on May 16th: News were spread around that Severino Seeger had to appear on court due to his cheating actions some years ago. The RTL channel and DSDS master Dieter Bohlen immediately distanced themselves from the newly crowned superstar. And so do the fans. The second single Love Me Like This was scheduled for 22nd of May–it is very likely seeing it miss an entry on the survey at all.
So far every winner of DSDS at least had a week long spot at no.1 with the first single. Except Elli Erl on second season who only peaked at number 3. Now there is set a new negative record. Good thing is having a 13rd season next year only can make things better.
Seeing Madcon's Don't Worry climbing again to #3 should be evidence enough for the still unbroken sales power of DSDS. The song was performed at the beginning of the final by the last three candidates.


Further on the way up David Guetta is. His Hey Mama (accompanied by Nicki Minaj & Afrojack now climbs 22–15 giving him the second Top20 entry after his #1 hit Dangerous in November/December 2014.

Worth noting the fact is that we do have five German productions inside the Top10 and a complete 8 inside the Top20. So after a short dullness in February/March we are back on the level of 2014 when German productions had there best presence in May and December.


Talking 'bout German productions and TV shows we have to mention the start of second season of Sing meinen Song. On Tuesday 19th of May first episode was aired focused on songs of Yvonne Catterfeld. Simultaneously latest album of the singer Lieber so from 2013 was re-released. As an effect the title song enters the list as an album cut as well. Number 23 is the highest rank the singer achieved since 2006. Additionally her latest single Pendel re-enters at #84 too.
Andreas Bourani also involved in the show can benefit from his appearance. His last single Auf anderen Wegen jumps 61–37 in its 35th chart week and will rise further for sure as next episode is spotted on his songs.

May 15th 15:

It is number two at the top for Felix Jaehn Feat. Jasmine Thompson and their take on Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better). Meanwhile the track also enters number 1 slot on the Mega charts–the survey of all music use including social media and airplay.


After performing on season's final of Germany's Next Top Modellon Thursday night Jason Derulo got a boost on his song Want To Want Me. It climbs five places to current position no.3. It is right now the second most successful single for the singer ranging behind no.1 song Talk Dirty from 2013.

The Top10 shows a nice coincidence. A year ago on May 23rd 2014 there were six songs involving German artists inside. This year we do have five as there are: Felix Jaehn (#1 and #8), Robin Schulz (#7), Sarah Connor (#9) and Philipp Dittberner Feat. Marv (#10). The difference is only two of them are in German. A year ago there were four songs in German.

By rising to number 17 Kid Ink as featured partner on Fifth Harmony's single Worth It reaches a new career peak. So far his highest peaking entry was Ride Out from the Furious7 soundtrack which stopped at #21 in March this current year.

Highest new entry comes in at number 19. It is Jess Glynne with her solo single Hold My Hand which is only her second solo chart entry and easily the highest one. So far she has another three Top10 singles under her belt as a featured artist on releases by Clean bandit and Route 94.

Due to new remixes available Hey Mama by David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj & Afrojack reaches a new peak at #22. The song appeared first inside the survey on December past year when album Listen was released. Since than the track bounced in and out for several times the past weeks now officially set as a single and so getting the attention it is worth.

Also German rap formation K.I.Z. launches its highest entry so far with Boom Boom Boom starting chart life at number 33. It is the sixth entry of the project–five of them were own releases.

This week we have seven songs new on the survey, two songs re-enter the list. It is already the seventh week that there are 10 or less songs entering the list which is a third of all weeks. Three weeks had 20 or more songs reentering the list.

May 8th 15: Second No1 for Felix Jaehn

Here he is: Felix Jaehn gots his second number 1 hit. It is Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) the cover and remix of the great Rufus & Chaka Khan tune from the 80s which features the voice of Jasmine Thompson. It is already the second artist that has two number 1 hits in 2015–a feature we probably should get used to. In 2014 there were two acts having two number 1 hits also in the face of Robin Schulz and David Guetta. Before that we have to go back as far as 1987 when there were Rick Astley and Mel & Kim launching two number 1 hits in one year.

Felix Jaehn does have two simultaneous Top 10 hits as Cheerleader sits still pretty at number 9. Jasmine Thompson so far is the third British act occupying number 1 in 2015. Even that–three different number 1 singles coming from the UK–we hadn't for the last two years.

On the MegaCharts–the new enabled survey reflecting all music uses by numbers–Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) this current week rises one place to number 3. Number 1 for a fourth week is Are You With Me by Lost Frequencies.


Highest new entry comes in the face of Sarah Connor. The most successful German singer of the 2000s had a chart abstinence for more or less three years. In 2014 she returned as a guest on the Sing meinen Song TV show. Due to her appearance she got a Top20 hit which was the highest performing song in six years. Now she is back with a regular single. Wie schön du bist starts charts life at number 7 which marks the highest performance since eight years.

May 1st 15: Calm And Lazy Again

It is this the third week on top for Wiz Khalifa Feat. Charlie Puth and their song See You Again.

As we witness a very calm week–the top 3 is static and only three new entries plus five songs re-entering–we got the chance spotting smaller moves. Major Lazer X DJ Snake Feat. MØ rise a single place to number 4 with Lean On making singer MØ the best performing Danish act since three years. Back than in March 2012 Aura Dione had her Friends sitting at number 4.

Felix Jaehn's remix on Jasmine Thompson's version of Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) goes 7–5 and makes the DJ the best debut act in 2015 so far having a no.1 and no.5 song under his belt and serving as the best selling German act for about three months.

April 17th 15: Record Breaking Jump To No 1

As the German charts appear weekly since 1971 one might assume that everything has been seen. It isn't like that. Times change and so do the charts and movements inside. This week we witness a record breaking jump to number 1. Of course the biggest jump to the top is the one from outside the list. Before the late 90s that feat wasn't seen on the list. Nowadays it is kind of common having songs start their chart life directly at the Top. So far there were 103 songs doing so.
Most of songs of course reach the top from inside the charts. Mostly it happens with a rise from inside the Top 5. This week we see See You Again by Wiz Khalifa Feat. Charlie Puth storming to Top in its fifth week coming from number 39 which breaks the record setting feat of the Pet Shop Boys in July 1987. Back then the duo had its heydays bringing new releases to its peak very fast. It's A Sin started by going 26–1 in 1987 followed by Always On My Mind with a 20–1 jump in January 1988 and Heart in April same year going 17–1. Only YMCA by the Village People and Pump ab das Bier by Werner Wichtig managed to hold tight with that feat. The first one shot 24–1 in December 1978 the latter one 18–1 in February 1990.

The new record comes due to the arrival of Furious 7 in cinemas on April 2nd. See You Again features as the closing song referring to the death of actor Paul Walker. As the movie still leads the box list it is certain seeing the song on Top next week too.

Another trivia can be told: See You Again is the third movie related number 1 in 2015.

Talkin' 'bout the impact of Furious 7 also six other songs taken–four of them originally taken from the Soundtrack–perform well as there are:
Ride Out by Kid Ink, Tyga, Wale, Rich Homie Quan 45–21–all four artists involved reach a new career peak
G.D.F.R. by Flo Rida Featuring Sage The Gemini and Lookas 38–25 in its 18th chart week
Go Hard Or Go Home by Wiz Khalifa & Iggy Azalea 98–47
How Bad Do You Want It (Oh Yeah) by Sevyn Streeter new at number 67–first charting single of the American singer.
Get Low by Dillon Francis / DJ Snake new at number 79
Turn Down For What by DJ SNake and Lil Jon re-entering at number 84 adding a 41st chart week–the song appeared first time in the survey exactly one year ago


Robin Schulz delivers the highest new entry at #7 with Headlights (feat. Ilsey). The singer is known so far as song writer for Pitbull and JLO. Headlights is the second Top10 hit in 2015 for the German superstar DJ and fourth since the beginning of his chart career almost exactly a year ago.

At number 11 second German superstar DJ is launching a follow up to his debut. Felix Jaehn sits still pretty at number 3 with his remix of OMI's Cheerleader while Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) (feat. Jasmine Thompson) enters the list. It is this a cover version of a song originally recorded by Rufus & Chaka Khan in 1983. The original never got chart success but since than the song entered in six different versions peaking at number 8 in 1989 in a remix version of the original. The take by Felix Jaehn now is the second most successful.


DSDS effects
The 12th season of Deutschladn sucht den Superstars is on air with recalls and re-recalls. One first hiatus was the performance of Severino Seeger, Antonio Gerardi, Christoph Cronauer and Kevin Spatt who performed Caruso on April 8th 2015. The song was recorded originally by Italian Lucio Dalla in 1986 but became mostly popular in 2012 after the singer died. Than it reached number 2 in Italy and got certain attention by participants on casting show contestants. In Germany popularity rose due to schlager star Helene Fischer who recorded a cover version on her 2014 album Farbenspiel- live.
After it was performed on TV the song enters the charts for the very first time at number 61. It is only the second chart entry for the Italian singer–17 years after his debut appearance–and it is a new career peak.

13rd of Feb 15:

The number 1 comes originally from Jamaica. It is Cheerleader by OMI that grabs the crown due to the remix by Hamburg DJ Felix Jaehn.
It is a similar situation like last time a Jamaican artist was number 1. In 2008 it was Shaggy who had the honour being number 1 for a week with Feel The Rush. The song was the official anthem of the European Football Championship so the release was officially credited to Trix & Flix the two mascots of the championship.
