Dangerous holds firm at the Top for a fourth week (a second in a row) and finally makes David Guetta feat. Sam Martin the act with most number 1 weeks in 2014. Having two proper number 1 singles the duo is far and away the best performing number 1 act. But in 2014 there were some other acts that come close to this feat. First of all newcomer Robin Schulz has to be counted as the closest combatant by serving as one main act on Prayer in C and remixing Waves by Mr Probz which later was officially credited to him also.
Significant moves:
Hozier lands at number 2 with Take Me To Church after he performed the song on the final show of The Voice of Germany together with Charley Ann Schmutzler on 19th December 2014. The later winner of the show herself can climb 26 places to number 3 with Blue Heart. Winner 2013 Andreas Kümmert was able to reach number 2 at the back end of 2013.
Also Ed Sheeran profits from his performance on the show. Thinking Out Loud goes 12–6 and now is his third Top10 hit in 2014. So Ed Sheeran now eclipses the result of Swedish AVICII who so far was the artist with most different songs inside the German Top 10.
Highest new entry comes from Italian Frei.Wild. Wir brechen Eure Seelen (weil Ihr gerne Kriege führt) is the first official single where the band dissociates from neo nazi movement. The song lands at number 8.
On number 18 the first serious German singer-songwriter started on the internet can launch his first hit. Joel Brandenstein is very different to comedian projects like Die Lochis, Y-Titty or Apecrime. His Diese Liebe serves as his first commercial release and brings him a straight Top20 hit.
Additionally Nico Suave Feat. Xavier Naidoo enter the list with Danke at number 20. So the three highest new entries are in German which sets the number of songs in German inside the Top20 at seven–a feat not seen since April 2012. The number of German productions inside the Top20 is 8–the best result for whole 2014 and doubling the result of the last charts issue of 2013.
At number 34 a classic tune gets a new peak. Hallelujah originally written and performed by Canadian Leonard Cohen in the 80s became famous the past 20 years but first charted in December 2012 in the version of Jeff Buckley. It got its peak a few weeks later at number 38. On December 16th Xavier Naidoo performed the song on Sing meinen Song - Das Weihnachtskonzert. Now his version rises 61 places which is the best move of the week and eclipses the old peak.
And another benchmark is set in this last issue of the year 2014. German schlager singer HEINO is back with a collection of hard rock versions of his former hits. It misses the Top10 of the album list by entering at number 11. Anyway the lead song Schwarz blüht der Enzian a re-recording of his biggest hit released in 1972 can enter the singles list at number 84. Covering a span of over 42 years it is the eldest composition that appears in 2014 inside the list. So far it was We Are The Champions by Queen that made it into the charts again in late July after the German team won the FIFA world championship. The first appearance of that song dates back to 1977.
Back to Heino again: Appearing inside the current list his chart career now spans an impressive 47 years. Of course in 2014 he was the artist with the longest history beating the 44 years that Peter Maffay collects right now. 47 years–that's also the 7th longest chart career of all times. Heino now has only six more years to go to beat the record set by Paul Kuhn in August 2008. But well–a look into the future tells you: Next week we will embrace the back catalogue of Udo Jürgens for sure which pushes the record of the longest chart career even further to 57 years.

A second week for British Passenger at bthe Top with his Let Her Go. He is the first British act since a year that can hold two consecutive weeks at the German top. Back in May last year it was Alex Clare with his Too Close who was Nr.1 for three weeks.
Folk and country (in its more pop oriented version) is highly beloved right now in Germany. Besides the Nr.1 Taylor Swift climbs to number 12 with I Knew You Were Trouble and The Lumineers reach the Top 20 with Ho Hey.
This week the sensation of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis becomes perfect as their Can’t Hold Us reaches the Top 10. It is only the third act this year having two Top 10 hits–and they are the second this year doing it simultaneously.
WAX this week becomes a Top 50 act. His Rosana jumps 57–32. In Austria the single goes straight to number 21. Seems that this track could become one of the spring tunes this year.
Last week I announced Nelly a dead superstar. This week his single Hey Porsche rises to number 62. Still not the big hit some were hoping.
After a 25 years long abstinence one of the voices of ABBA returns to the charts. Agnetha Fältskog’s single The One Who Loves You Now lands at number 71 making her the second artist with German Heino who celebrates a comeback after more than 20 years. Latter one just that current week left the list. Of course Agnetha Fältskog had chart appearances in between as a memeber of ABBA–last seen at new years week with their annual single Happy New Year.
Another act waiting for more than 15 years before re entering is Stevie B. Exactly this current week he re-enters the list after he was last seen in spring 1998. It is a remix of his Spring Love featuring Pitbull which gives him a fourth chart hit.

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.
