German Chart Comments - Issue Date 1.11

(There'll be no videos for the time being)  
 
Somewhat expectedly Avicii's "Hey Brother" has climbed to the top slot in Germany to become his second number one after "Wake Me Up" was there this summer. The song continues to be without a video and promotion, which makes its presence at the top even more interesting.

After a one-week stay at #1, "Jubel" of Klingande slips one to two, while James Blunt's former number one sticks to #3.

On the rise this week continues to be Milky Chance and "Stolen Dance", which moves up three to #4, while at #9, up from #22, we can found "Lifesaver" of Finnish band Sunrise Avenue. The song, which benefits from the band's vocalist participation as a coach in The Voice Of Germany, becomes the third single of the boys to make it inside the top ten next to "Fairytale Gone Bad" and "Hollywood Hills", which both peaked at #3. (Oh, and these songs even re-enter the countdown this week at #46 and #36, respectively.)

Prince Kay One made a brief but a memorable appearance at #4 earlier this year with "V.I.P.". Now the German rapper follows that with "Keep Calm (Fuck U)" at #11.

Slowly on the rise inside the top 20 we have this week Lorde's "Royals", up one to #17, Bastille's "Things We Lost In The Fire", up two to #18 and Pitbull and Kesha's "Timber", up one to #20.
 
The second highest new entry of the week belongs to Lady Gaga and the second single from her much anticipated album "Artpop". "Do What U Want" appears this week at #27, on the back of "Applause", which despite a steady presence in the top 20, managed to reach only #5. The new song also marks the return of R Kelly in the top 100 since 2007.

Further down the top 50, it's up three for Ylvis and "The Fox", this week at #38, and five for Drake's "We're Going Home", which occupies #39.

And the other new entries this week:

54. James Arthur - You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves
56. Justin Bieber - Hold Tight
63. Tyga ft. Justin Bieber - Wait For A Minute
64. Mark Forster - Zu dir (Weit weg)
71. Aloe Blacc - Wake Me Up
81. Katy Perry ft. Juicy J - Dark Horse
86. Booka Shade - Love Inc
91. Avril Lavigne ft. Chad Kroeger - Let Me Go

The Album Chart

Despite the arrival of four new entries inside the top five, no one is able to stop the monstrous sales of Helene Fischer's "Farbenspiel", which spends a third consecutive week on top. The new album of James Blunt, "Moon Landing", leads the newcomers at #2 (now the UK singer has two #1 and two #2 albums). Sunrise Avenue have their best charting album as "Unholy Ground" enters at #3, followed by the latest of Katy Perry at #4. "Prism" is, strangely, the first album of Katy Perry to chart higher than #5. Next up, at #5, we can found the latest LP of Motorhead called "Aftershock". Also new in the top ten at #10 is Bosca's "Solange Es Schlägt".
