German Chart Comments - Issue Date 5.07

It's a fourth week for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" on the top in Germany, once again followed by Daft Punk's "Get Lucky". The top three is completed by OneRepublic's (amazing) "Counting Stars", which moves up three and becomes the best performing single of the group since "Secrets" from 2009. And having in mind it is the third single from OneRepublic's latest LP and does not feature in any local movie soundtrack, this is a real accomplishment.

Not much going on in the rest of the top ten with just outside of it, at #11, Tom Odell scores his first top 20 hit with "Another Love" which rises 19 positions. Fergie also continues her climb as "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" is up two to #13.

After "I Could Be the One" couldn't advance higher than #37, Avicii is back on form as his "Wake Me Up!" storms the countdown at #16. The song, which features the vocals of Aloe "I Need a Dollar" Blacc, is still to gain in promotion and by the looks of it (or more precisely by the sound of it), the single is going to be massive. It becomes the second most successful track of the Swedish producer after "Levels" peaked at #6.

The second new entry comes a position behind Avicii and is credited to Cpt. Nepomuk's Friendly Heart Choir Club - a group of musicians, which includes among others members of Sportfreunde Stiller, BAP and Blumentopf. They gathered to record "Weida mitanand" as a charity single after the devastating floods, which hit Germany this year.

Also new inside the top 20 is Naughty Boy's "La La La", which goes up six places, and surprisingly becomes a real hit in the country.

Coinciding with their number one in the LP chart this week, German hip hop duo Genetikk enter this week the singles chart for a first time with "Liebs oder lass es" at #39.

At #40 we have another charity single, this time from Wilde Flamme, whose "Geschichten bleiben Geschichten" is a second appearance on the list after "1000 Meilen, 1000 Worte" reached #58 last year.

Following some controversy with the video, Polish singer Margaret debuts this week in the official countdown with "Thank You Very Much". Needless to say, this is her first foray in the Top 100.

The Album Chart

As it became clear "D.N.A." Genetikk's first album to ever enter the LP chart debuts straight at #1. It is followed by "13" of Black Sabath, who keep the silver medals for another week. New at #3 is the ninth studio album of metalcore album Amon Amarth. "Deceiver Of The Gods" becomes their best performing LP in Germany.
