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.

24th of Oct 2014: New Star Gregor Meyle

It is the third week for Meghan Trainor and her All About That Bass at the Top of the list. It is the same picture as in the UK where she follows Lady Gaga as the first American female that can spend three consecutive weeks at the top. In Germany it is R(ihanna) with Diamonds who occupied the top for three weeks as an American female artist. And if you look for a USAmerican female you have to got back to December 2011 when Lana del Rey placed her Video Games as the best selling single for three weeks.

Which one is the more successful casting format? The question for now gets an answer. Last issue it was Amoi seg' ma uns wieder by Andreas Gabalier which returned to number 9 after a contestant sang it on Das Supertalent. This week it is Keine ist wie du by Gregor Meyle which outsells last weeks success by landing straight at number 2. The song was performed by Björn Amadeus Kahl on the second blind audition show of The Voice of Germany on 10th of October 2014.
The song first was published as part of the album Meile für Meyle in 2012. It wasn't released as a standalone single but in May this current year Sarah Connor was performing the ballad on Sing meinen Song which gave her a number 12 entry and propelled the original recording into the charts at number 40. It was already the second best performing song for the singer. Now the recording rockets back and indeed eclipses everything the artist ever achieved in chart terms. Number 2 is the highest position for Gregor Meyle at all and after six years inside the professional music business his first Top10 entry ever.
The winner of next week shows some first muscles already in this list. On Thursday October the 16th Ben Dettinger performed his version on Sam Smith's Stay With Me which gives the single a sales boost. It rises 19–11 in its 23rd chart week collecting only the downloads on Thursday night itself. There is a good perspective that British Sam Smith will launch his second Top 10 hit in next weeks time.

Newly inside the Top5 Taylor Swift arrives. In the US her Shake It Off is already the second Nr.1 song–in Germany it is her best selling single so far peaking this week at number 5.

Sun Goes Downarrives inside the Top10 in its 4th chart week. It is already the third Top10 for Robin Schulz in this year alone. A year ago he was completely unknown. Undoubtedly he is the newcomer of the year.


The best selling album comes from German rapper Shindy. Of course there are three solo tracks that make it up in the singles list as well. Best performing Sterne is at number 40. Accompanying Bushido on this track now collects his 44th chart entry–the 22nd in this current decade. As an comparison Michael Jackson also had 44 chart hits in his whole career. The difference of course ist the success. Bushido since 2010 never reached the Top 10 having 17 consecutive chart entries not reaching the upper places of the list. Michael Jackson alone in Germany had have 20 Top 10 hits.

Full List

6th of June 2014:

Very often straight number 1s appear as an flash in the pan. Big success right after the song is available and than … a quickly decreasing interest in the song. And there are real hits that start straight at the Top. Traum by German rapper CRO is the latter one. The song spends a third week at the Top of Germany’s single charts. The last one doing so was Jason Derulo with Talk Dirty in early autumn 2013.

Rising to no.3 Mark Forster becomes the next successful young German singer songwriter. Au revoir (Featuring Sido) is the highest rank Mark Forster so far achieved. It eclipses the result of Einer dieser Steine from last November on which he accompanied rapper Sido and which stopped at no.4.

In it's 33rd chart week and in its 23rd Top10 week Atemlos duch die Nacht by Helene Fischer rises again two places stopping at number 4. It is the longest Top10 habitation for a song since three years. And it looks like more and more fans purchase the song. The new demand comes due to the final of TV show Let's Dance where Atemlos durch die Nacht was one of the songs for the finalists.

New inside the Top 10 Kiesza is the first Canadian artist since a year who manages to invade the German list that high. Hideaway lands at number 8 and follows Justin Bieber's #That Power.

With a proper album released German DJ/producer Alle Farben gets his first chart hit She Moves - Far Away to Top10 status. The track lands at number 9 in its seventh chart week and is the fifth German production inside the Top10 which is a very rare picture.

The highest new entry comes due to an episode of the show Sing meinen Song. On 27th of May Gregor Meyle was the artist of interest in the production. Sarah Connor's version of his Keine(r) ist wie du has had the most impact on all viewers–the song enters at number 12 and gives the singer her best chart result since 2008. The original also enters the list–no.40 is the second best position for the singer in Germany. In Switzerland the song already is now the best performing song at all. His first ever chart hit and best performing recording in Germany Niemand re-enters at number 65 and collects a seventh chart week.
More show impact can be watched inside the list further down. Xavier Naidoo enters with his version of Du bist das Licht at number 46, the original from 2012 lands at number 70 and the single by Gregor Meyle Hier spricht dein Herz lands at number 54. All toghether the singer has five song inside the current Top100. The album compilation of the show this week enters number 1 inside the albums list.


What else?
German techno and happy hardcore project SCOOTER celebrates its 52nd chart hit under its own name. Bigroom Blitz (Feat. Wiz Khalifa) lands at number 43 which is the highest position in three years. With this chart entry the project has the third biggest amount of hits in the list behind Peter Alexander who had 81 and Madonna with so far 60 hits. Anyway the German act only took 20 years for its result. Its first entry was back in October 1994.

A viral youtube-hit brings The Proclaimers back into the list. Jack Hyer mad his proposal with a video shot in 28 countries and backgrounded with I'm Gonna Be (500 miles). The track originally recorded in 1988 had its first chart appearance in Germany after it was used within the movie Benny & June. It had its highest position at number 40. This week it stands again at number 67.

King soccer shows his more and more what will go on the next weeks. Pitbull Feat, Jennifer Lopez & Cláudia Leitte sit pretty at number 19, Shakira goes 47–29 and finally the first German FIFA WM related song enters in the face of Stefan Raab's Wir kommen, um ihn zu holen at number 82. The song was released midweek so the impact in next weeks time might be bigger. The full CD release follows immediatly.
