German Chart Comments - Issue Date 20.04

So after last week Michel Telo found himself lucky to return to the top and spend a tenth week there, now all justice is done as Olly Murs' reclaims the crown once again. Thus, Olly's "Heart Skips A Beat" makes a second consecutive week on top of the German singles charts. 

His biggest competitor is "Forget Forget" of Caligola, which after soaring to #4 a week earlier, this time around rises to #2 to match the #2 peak of Mando Diao's biggest hit to date - "Dance with Somebody".

Coming as if from nowhere, British singer Alex Clare has the honour to register the highest new entry of the week at #3. "Too Close", even though still not a hit in Alex' native country, has perhaps benefited from its use on an Internet Explorer commercial.   
After "Super Bass" was never allowed to chart in Germany, Nicki Minaj finally brings her first ever single (as a lead artist) in the German countdown. "Starships" makes a good debut this week at #17.

Of Monsters And Men are an Iceland band who arrive on the latest wave of radio-friendly hits in the upper reaches of the German chart. Their pilot single "Little Talks" can be found at #22 but I won't be surprised to see it in the top 20 quite soon.

Despite going straight at #1 in the UK, Chris Brown's "Turn Up The Music" is not so blessed in Germany as it enters the chart at #34. The single comes after "Next 2 You" peaked at #28 last year.

And the remaining new entries:
 
56. Luxuslärm feat. Culcha Candela - "Mehr Gewicht" - Despite the help of Culcha Candela, the pop rock band has failed to enter the top #50. The song is Luxuslärm's biggest charting single so far though.

68. Adele - "Rumour Has It" - It's interesting to see whether "21", the multi-platinum album of Adele, will manage to produce yet another hit.

99. One Direction - "What Makes You Beautiful" - There was a time in the past when Germany was famous for its fondness of boy bands. Now it is more famous for the fact that despite being massive in the UK and even the USA, One Direction flop massively in central Europe. For the record, this song was even released at the end of last year...

The Album Chart

There's no-one able to remove  Unheilig's "Lichter der Stadt" from the top spot, where the album is once again followed by Silbermond's " Himmel auf", while Adele's "21" returns to the top 3. The highest new entry as at #6 in the shape of "Stalingrad", the latest album of heavy-metal veterans Accept.
