The act in question now is the winner of latest DSDS season Aneta Sablik. Her winning title The One is a eurodance track topping the charts in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It is the first number 1 hit recorded by an artist with Polish origin. 
Still on the rise George Ezra enters the Top3 for the first time with his song Budapest. The artist is the sixth newcomer this year that manages that feat. (Aneta Sablik was the fifth.) The song already collected its 11th chart week. 
Two weeks ahead the release of the Coldplay album Ghost Stories a third single called A Sky Full Of Stars is available. The song directly enters the list at number 6 and is only the third Top 10 hit for the British band. The last single entering the Top 10 was Viva La Vida stopping at number 5 in 2008. The big success of the song certainly comes due to the collaboration with Tim Bergling aka AVICII who acts as producer here. 
The official charts ain't the detector of the moment. Published with at least one week delay they reflect the hype from two weeks ago. This week one might see it with the nr.1. Actually the star of the moment is Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst. But the contest taken place on 10th of May will only count in two weeks issue of the charts. What one can see now is the hope of the German public for a good result of the German entry Elaiza. Is It Right changes the direction of move and re-enters the Top 10 at number 10. – As we already know the trio failed Europe wide by landing at a disappointing 18th place. All in all the Top 10 are dominated by European productions. Nine out of ten songs are European which is a result last seen exactly two years ago. In between we also had seen very weak times for European music. In April 2013 there were only one European song invading the Top 10. The song in question back than was Let Her Go by Passenger.
The official superstar was voted on Saturday 3rd of May. The non official superstar had its show on Tuesday 6th of May.

The original also can enter the list and lands at number 18 in its first week. The huge demand propelled the company's decision to publish the song as a single CD too. The release is scheduled for end of May. So far it is the highest rank the Austrian singer ever achieved and it is the highest Austrian track since Klangkarussell's Sonnentanz hit the Top10 a last time in October 2013.Andreas Gabalier's signature hit lands additionally on number 50 this week–the highest rank since more than a year. Further down at number 70 also one can find So liab hob i di and Zuckerpuppen at number 82.
With She Moves - Far Away available as a full CD single Alle Farben takes a final leap to number 13. If this is the final peak one could resume the deep house wave as slowly fading out. 
A week before its release as an album Kollegah's title track King bounces back to number 19 accompanied by the first single Alpha which lands at number 20 and AKs im Wandschrank at number 21. All three were resting the week before at number 41, 59 respectively number 63. Be prepared having a real invasion of Kollegah tracks next week.
With DSDS having its final The Voice Kids plays only the second pipe in this week's commercial result. Anyway once again a song performed within the show makes a big leap afterwards. This time it is Say Something by A Great Big World And Christina Aguilera that lands at a new peak on number 36. It is the 13th chart week for that song.
Lindsey Stirling's album Shatter Me goes number 4 on the album list. The title track also can make it into the song list landing at a proper number 59.

The song can chart in Germany in Austria giving the singer his first and only chart hit in these countries at all.
Still it is 
The track bringing some change in the list is Budapest by British new comer George Ezra. After his song is released on CD the track shoots 12–5 in its 9th chart week. It is so far the second highest peak worldwide for the song. Only the Dutch charts report a current number 3.
Three places below the highest new entry comes in. It is the new single by Mando Diao Black Saturday that anounces the new album Aelita. It is the second Top 10 single in Germany for the Swedish band and its first chart entry since four years (of course the chart success for Caligola ain’t included).
The first one comes in at number 10 and it is the third prerelease for Kollegah's upcoming album King. This week the title trackenters the list as the highest track Kollegah ever had launched in the single's charts. It really seems that he is the new king of German gangsta rap. His both predecessors Alpha and AKs im Wandschrank also made it up in the list climbing 30 places each.
The second new German song comes in at number 18. After its release as a full digital track She Moves - Far Away jumps from number 70. DJ Alle Farben is the latest of deep house inspired producers who make their luck on that sound invading the music scene since few months. 
Week number four at the German top for MR PROBZ and his 
More or less the Top 10 looks very static. More movement might be seen at number 14. Scheduled for CD release on April 18th Budapest by George Ezra climbs to real hit status. He signed a few weeks ago a contract with Sony Music–now the broad marketing machine works and brings him to more publicity in all media. That’s how the business still works.
A very similar sound and atmosphere lands at number 19 in the face of James Blunt. With Heart To Heart released on CD as well the track jumps 14 places. Seems that the fans of the singer are a little conservative in the way they consume music. Underlining that the track got a sales boost on Thursday night (March 27th). Then the ECHO award ceremony took place and one of the highlights was the duet by James Blunt and Helene Fischer who sang Heart To Heart.
She was one of the Top female voices in 2012. Coming from nowhere Emeli Sandé had have five hits back in that year. In 2013 it was a little more dumbed around her. The well known songs clang on a little but new material didn’t catch really fire. So exactly one year ago also Clown had a very short chart appearance only sneaking in the list for a single week at number 93. This week the song returns with power thanks to the new season of DSDS. It was Vanessa Valera Rojas who performed the song and got her ticket for the live shows. The original re-enters the list at number 36 on sales.
First of all there is the next big thing called My Love by Route 94 Feat. Jess Glynne which still is digitally available only. The track jumps 53–20 in its second chart week which gives an impression of what might happen to the track in two weeks time when the full CD release is in shelves. It is the second Top 20 hit for singer Jess Glynne within six weeks.
Already a week before its official release the new remix (the official festival mix) of Show Me Love by the Michael Mind Project enters the list. In 2008 the first version of the cover reached number 38–now it starts chart life at number 62. The original recording by Robin S. made it to number 11 in 1993. Still a long way to go for the remake. – The take on the signal theme by Kid Ink still sneaks through the end of the list. This week it collects its 28th chart week at number 90.
On the way up Gorgon City Ft. Mnek arrives inside the Top 75. Ready For Your Love is number 70 in its third chart week. 
With new remixes available finally Kids by Style Of Eye Ft. Soso finds a bigger audience. The track enters the list at number 76. The man behind Style of Eye has some chart experience as the writer of Icona Pop's 
The highest new entry comes in at number 35 which is the second lowest result of the year 2014. Only on January the 10th the highest new entry was weaker due to the lack of real new releases. This week it is Australian rock band 5 Seconds of Summer that see it single She Looks So Perfect stall close to the middle of the charts. Probably it aint the high time for rock issues right now. Or is it more a kind of tiredness for boy bands?
After Gäa became a hit for Oonagh on its own the proper release as CD single follows and throws the song back to the list. It enters number 67 which marks a new peak for that song.
Released midweek Loyal by Chris Brown Lil Wayne Tyga start half power at number 81. The reduced r’n’b production might have some more fire in it but will it give Chris Brown the hit he so urgently need? His last Top 10 appearance is three years ago. Even the Top 20 saw him last two years ago. His last single as main artist stalled at number 48 last summer. Ehm–there is something work to do for the star. 
Of course the sales market knows different rules. Here Als wär’s das erste Mal is the highest new entry of the singles list. It lands at number 10 giving UNHEILIG its fifth top 10 hit which makes the act the most successful German one in this current decade. Although Lena performs a little better by comparing the peak positions of their hits UNHEILIG has much more chart weeks for its songs collected. With 244 it eclipses the result of Culcha Candela which only had two top 10 hits since the beginning of 2010. Additionally the second song presented on TV Wir sind alle wie eins enters the list at number 71. 
Winner act Elaiza will go to Copenhagen in May-in sales its song Is It Right needs some more support. It only enters at number 41. Not the best sign for a Eurovision participation. The last time a contesting song did not reach the German Top 20 was back in 2003 when Lou went to Riga with Let's Get Happy. She back than did not chart anyway but was number 12 within the European contest.
There two people enter the list side by side that had started their chart career almost exactly 26 years ago. At number 31 KYLIE returns with her new single Into The Blue. Right behind her rapper Rakim appears on Linkin Park’s single Guilty All The Same. In 1988 he got his first fame in Germany as part of the duo Eric B. & Rakim which had two chart hits here. In 2002 he returned alongside rapper Truth Hurts and finally reached the Top 10. Since than it kept silent around him. Now Rakim is back for a fourth time.
Additionally the song is part of the 
The longest running chart hit Sky And Sand is back in the list due to TV Show Die Ultimative Chart-Show. As number 1 of the issue "The most successfull long standing hits" it was performed by a no name project called 
At the very low end songs appear for the first time that might become a hit soon. Available for a month Ready For Your Love by Gorgon City Ft. Mnek finally catches fire even outside the dancefloor and enters the sales list at number 78. New at number 83 Milky Chance's next hit Down By The River starts chart life. Enrique Iglesias' new single I'm A Freak is out since mid of January. Very slowly the artist can gain some attention for it. Probably the new yellow press stories 'bout whether he should get married or not gave the track some relevance. It is new at number 89. Also French Indila arrives slowly in Germany. Her hit Dernière Danse is available since four weeks–now it comes in at number 98. Finally Canadian Bedouin Soundclash got its first entry in the German list. Brutal Hearts lands at number 99 after three weeks on sale.
