Hot Spot 08-16-13

Wake Me Up by AVICII stands still for week no. five at the German top. It now belongs to the Top 3 of the longest holding number 1 hits in 2013 joining Let Her Go by Passenger (5x) and Scream & Shout by will.i.am & Britney Spears (9x). And it now matches the success of last years Swedish summer hit I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li.

With CASPER entering number 4 German Raop-style launches a third Top 5 act in one year. After CRO and Marteria have having topped the singles charts Im Ascheregen is the next attempt. CASPER’s album Hinterland follows these days.

At number 10 Ellie Goulding for the first time enters the upper region of the German charts. The song giving her that honour is Burn.

German rap star Shindy can launch four different tracks in the list after the release of its album NWA in the clean 2.0 version. The original shot to number 1 two weeks ago but was banned by the authorities. The four songs entering the singles list are exactly the four new recorded: Stress mit Grund, Springfield 2, Bruce Wayne and Mein Shit. – Shindy is only the fifth artist in 2013 having at least four tracks simultanously invading the list. The four reaching that feat before are CRO, will.i.am, Rihanna and Helen Fischer.

It is the second week for Swedish AVICII at the top of the German list. Exactly one year ago there was the last Number one coming from that Scandinavian country. It was LYKKE LI's I Follow Rivers that had a five weeks run at the very top. In between we had Icona Pop challenging to number 3 with I Love It and of course the last single of the Swedish House Mafia Don't You Worry Child peaking at number 12. Adding Loreen's Eurovision winning song Euphoria to that survey Sweden is the most successful European country besides Great Britain to launch pop music in Germany.

Back to Top 10 status James Arthur now delivers one of the three singles spending more than 13 weeks inside the Top 10. It joins Can't Hold Us by Macklemore X Ryan Dalton (14 times) and Scream & Shout by will.i.am & Britney Spears (17 times only in 2013).

Highest new entry is Stress ohne Grund by German rappers Shindy & Bushido. The song is accompanied by a scandal as the lyrics contain defamations of people of the public life in Germany. Some of them reported an offence to the law. The track (and the album by Shindy containing it) were indexed a week after its release. Of course the scandal did fire demand so Stress ohne Grund lands at number 19 - highest position for a track by Bushido since two years and a peak for newcomer Shindy's career.
