German Chart Comments - Issue Date 26.10

After the initial hype has disappeared, Adele's "Skyfall" slips this week to #7, which clears the way for Psy's "Gangnam Style" to reclaim the crown for a second week in total. Rihanna's "Diamonds" is also up, this time to #2 from #6, while Robbie Williams' "Candy" enters the top three in its second week after debuting at #4.

Outside the top 10, Flo Rida is steadily bringing his latest single "I Cry" towards the upper reaches of the countdown. The single rises to #12 from #20. Maroon 5's "One More Night" is also continuing its climb, up to #17 from #22.

The highest new entry can be found at #19 coming from Calvin Harris and his collaboration with Florence Welch. The stakes of the two performers have risen considerable lately, so it is no surprising that "Sweet Nothing" becomes easily the highest charting single of both of them in Germany (Calvin Harris' collaboration with Rihanna not counted). Harris' previous song with Example did not enter the chart, while "Let's Go" with Ne-Yo peaked at #59. "Spectrum (Say My Name)", also a team-up of Harris and Florence, reached #54 in Germany.

Further down there are new peaks by Bruno Mars' "Locked Out Of Heaven", up seven to #24, Silbermond's "Ja", up 12 places to #26 and Alicia Keys' "Girl On Fire", up seven to #32.

The next new entry belongs to Rea Garvey at #34. "Wild Love" is the fifth single of the Reamonn frontman to reach the top 50 since 2011.

A position behind Rea, veterans Pet Shop Boys return to the top 100 with their latest "Leaving". And it's good to see the duo back in the top 40 in what is their 27th chart year in Germany. Previous single "Winner" peaked at #60.

Sing um dein Leben, the project of Xavier Naidoo with participants on Voice of Germany, brings its debut album at #7, while schlager singer Olaf comes with his second album "Wenn der Anker fällt" directly at #10.
