August 26th 16: Calm Top 10 And "Suicide Squad" Boost

* top seven is holding still / exactly a year ago we had a similar situation as back than the top nine did not move

* Imany spends an eighth week at #1 with Don't Be So Shy / it is now the longest running #1 from France since 1989 when Kaoma infected Germany (and whole Europe) with Lambada / it also now matches the official result of Dalida in 1959

* highest top10 entering song is Sucker For Pain from the Suicide Squad soundtrack stopping by at #8 / after the movie started in German theatres too the song is highly demanded and boosts some of the acts involved to new heights / leading artist Lil Wayne returns to top 10 status for the first time since five years and reaches a new career peak / also the X Ambassadors now book a new piece on their account / Sucker For Pain by the way is the direct follow up to their top10 hit Renegades / also Wiz Khalifa celebrates a consecutive top10 with his appearance / his last proper release was #1 hit See You Again (feat. Charlie Puth) in spring 2015–also taken from a movie / the Imagine Dragons finally return to top10 status after three years–Radioactive peaked at #4 in May 2013 / for Ty Dolla ¢ign Sucker For Pain is the second top 10 entry in 2016 alone / all of the acts involved only had one or two top 10 hits before–so probably this collaboration also presents a young generation of hit makers
Suicide Squad sets some more hits too / Heathens by twentyøne piløts goes 22–11 in its tenth chart week giving the band its second top20 hit / Skrillex & Rick Ross can enter #85 as a re-entry

* also new inside the top 10 The Sound Of Silence by Disturbed is / stopping at #10 the new version comes very close to the result of the 1966 result

* due to a new remix i hate u i love u by Gnash feat. Olivia O'Brien drops back to top 20 status / six weeks ago the original version peaked at #14, sliding down to #28 in past weeks / the remix by Robin Schulz now propells the track to #16 again / it also doubles the figure of Germans appearing inside the top 20, only Felix Jaehn right now is present at #4 with Bonfire / highest song in German sits at #25 in the face of Ahnma by Beginner Feat. Gzuz, it is the worst result since October 25th 2013

* highest new entry lands at #26 / it is the third teaser single from upcoming album Palmen aus Plastik by rappers Bonez MC & RAF Camora / Mörder so far is the highest performing track of both / featured Gzuz already had an top 10 appearance a few weeks before / first release Palmen aus Plastik meanwhile rises to #27 in its sixth chart week and Ruhe nach dem Sturm newly enters #82 / Bonez MC with this has had 12 chart entries this year so far which makes him the act with most different songs appearing in 2016

* biggest gainer of the week is Human by Rag'n'Bone Man shooting 31 places to #32

Also on the way up
54–33 In The Name Of Love Martin Garrix & Bebe Rexha (4th week)
77–55 Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On) Cheat Codes & Dante Klein (3rd week)
89–73 Stoff und Schnaps Lil Kleine & Ronnie Flex (Prod. by Jack Chiraq) (2nd week)

Feb 5th 16: Zayn Arrives - Rihanna Fails - Carnival & SSIO Invades

2016 counts six chart issues–three of them Stimme by EFF were the most sold single. Meaning this is the best performing #1 of the current year so far.
More spectacular it is this the 40th consecutive week with a European at the top of the list. That is a feat not seen since 25 years.
A further statistical story from the top is the static Top 4 which is the first time since November past year.

At #5 the highest new entry comes in. It is former OneDirection member Zayn Malik with his first solo single. Pillowtalk directly shoots into the top 5–a feat the boy group never managed to do. Indeed their only #10 entry with Drag Me Down came after the split with ZAYN.

New inside the top 10 also is Jonas Blue Feat. Dakota and their take on Fast Car. The remake lands at #7 in its third chart week. One week more inside the list and now landing inside the top 10 Alan Walker lands his Faded at #8.
These new arrivals kick out long selling German productions like Robin Schulz and Glasperlenspiel which brings a situation last seen in early March past year with only one German production inside the top 10. Most time of 2015 we had four, five or even six and seven German productions there.

One of the stories of the week is a story about a fail. Rihanna's new album Anti clearly misses the taste of the masses. #7 in the UK and #12 in Germany in its first week is far and away from what could be expected. Single Work (featuring Drake) also clearly misses the top with stopping at #23. Is that the result of her very ambitious campaign for the album?

Youtube-Star Lamiya launched her first single Glow. It starts chart life at #26.

Carnival season launches its hits since a few weeks. The week before the ultimate party the amount increases as there are:
Warum hast du nicht nein gesagt by Roland Kaiser & Maite Kelly re-enterin #56
Jeck Yeah! by BRINGS new at #59
Leev Marie by Paveier new at #75–after an eight years long abstinence the band is back with a second chart entry
Kölsche Jungs by BRINGS re-entering #80
Polka, Polka, Polka by BRINGS re-entering #95

Leader of the album list is SSIO with 0,9. He also is the first living artist in 2016 who can launch simultaneous new entries on the song survey. Leading the bunch of six is Ich fibicke jeden at #61.
