Nov 3rd 17: Fourth Week For BAUSA

The midweek charts had detect a strong challenger for the #1 slot as Perfect by Ed Sheeran reached #2. Later this week the song got a stronger weakness sitting now pretty at #5 again and giving way to Was du Liebe nennst by BAUSA spending a fourth week at the top spot. At runners up position now Camila Cabello ranks with her ode to Havana which is far and away the best appearance she ever claimed.

There is no new entry to the top 10 but two songs re-entering. The higher one at #9 is New Rules by Dua Lipa which gains a new peak in its 14th chart week. So far the song has occupied #10 for three weeks than dropping out for a full month and now rising 12–9 again. New Rules now matches the result of predecessor and so far biggest hit Scared To Be Lonely alongside Martin Garrix.
Second top10 re-entry is Mi Gente by J balvin & Willy William going 11–10 after a single week outside. It is the 13th top10 week which makes the song one of the nine longest running top10 hits in 2017.

Highest new entry comes from Selena Gomez X Marshmello. Wolveslands at #14 in its first chart week. It is Selena Gomez' fourth hit in 2017. Marshmello right now has another hit Silence sitting pretty at #7.

The Imagine Dragons launch a second top20 hit this year with Whatever It Takes going 29-15. Meanwhile Thunder fades slowly to #20.
Also Norwegian DJ Kygo gets a second top20 hit in 2017 with Stargazing taking five places up to #18. It is already chart week no. six for that song.
At #19 What Lovers Do by Maroon 5 Feat. SZA goes. It is the first top20 appearance for the band since three years.

Watching the top 20 one can witness a strong presence of artists from the US. Between #11 and #20 there are nine songs involving US artists–eight songs are from US acts alone. It is this a very strong return as three years ago there were weeks with only two or even one top20 song involving stars from the US.

Worth mentioning:
Sunrise Ave's Help You Hate Me slowly catches fire as it goes 61–43 in its sixth chart week. Times when the band invaded top10 status easily seem long ago.
Kogong is the newest offering by Mark Forster who re-released his album TAPE enriched with that song. In its third chart week Kogong goes 78–53.
A 87–68 jump is taken by Charlie Puth with his song How Long.

Hulapalu by Andreas Gabalier spends a 85th week inside the top100. It now is the 15th highest result of chart weeks of all times. Well–the best performing single still is Sky And Sand by Paul & Fritz Kalkbrenner that collected 129 non consecutive chart weeks.

- Axwell /\ Ingrosso still perform at #1 with More Than You Know. It is #3 at the top.

- Az #10 Dua Lipa launches her third top10 entry: New Rules. So she is as much popular in 2017 as David Guetta and Justin Bieber who also collected three top10 hits this year so far.

Feb 17th 17: Ed Sheeran Beats Fifty Shades Darker

It wasn't as sure that the start of Fifty Shades Darker had no further impact on the leading song from the soundtrack I Don't Wanna Live Forever. Indeed Zayn & Taylor Swift still rank at #2 while Ed Sheeran's Shape Of You spends a sixth week at #1 in Germany.
It is this the 21st consecutive week with a British production at #1. Never before in history of weekly German charts (since 1971) British productions ruled that long this country. So far it was the 20 weeks long period from October 1987 to February 1988 when Rick Astley (twice), The Bee Gees and the Pet Shop Boys appeared hand in hand at the German top.

The Chainsmokers rise one single place to #3 with Paris. It is the second top3 success after Closer back in early autumn past year.

Two songs are new inside the top 10. There are at #9 the first chart entry for French Maitre Gims Loin–the song jumps nine places in its fourth chart week.
In its third chart week Scared To Be Lonely rises seven ranks to #10. It is for both Martin Garrix & Dua Lia the second top 10 entry. For Dua Lipa it comes back to back to her appearance on the Sean Paul single No Lies which peaked at #10 in January and this week sits pretty at #16 while Martin Garrix had his Animals peaking at #4 back in autumn 2013.

The follow up to Human this week lands at #13. It is the third chart week for Rag'n'Bone Man's Skin. Simultaneously the album Human lands at #2 in its first week on sale. #1 comes from Majoe whos Auge des Tigers is the second hip hop album at the German top in 2017. From this album also three solo tracks can enter the singles list at the lower end (#82 resp. #83) both with a long row of featured artists which causes a new negative record: KC Rebell now appeared on 23 chart singles without reaching the top 10. The highest rank he achieved was #15. So he performed less successful as Westernhagen who also had 23 hits charted but peaked at #11. Third on this overview is Farid Bang now having 21 chart entries under his belt the highest peaking as low as #28.

At #3 on the album list the soundtrack to Fifty Shades Darker lands. Fromt his compilation not only #2 comes but also #30 Helium by SIA and #87 The Scientist in the version of Corinne Bailey Rae who after 10 years and nine months can launch her second chart entry. Her first Put Your Records On peaked at #75 in May 2006.
The third track from the movie album comes in at #88 with Nick Jonas & Nicki Minaj and their Bom Bidi Bom.
