It's a seventh week for Klingande and "Jubel" on the summit of the German singles chart. Next at two, up from #3, Adel Tawil's "Lieder" returns once again to its peak position, while Pitbull and Kesha are yelling "Timber" at #3, up from #4. The latter is the second top three single of Pitbull as a lead singer in Germany, next to "Give Me Everything".

The Album Chart

Bad news this week for Britney Spears, whose latest album "Britney Jean" flops disastrously at #20 in the German LP chart and easily becomes the first album of the (former) superstar to miss the top 10. At #1 Sido has his second number one album with "30-11-80", while the latest from Nightwish appears at #6. It's called "Showtime, Storytime". Also new inside the top ten is Scorpions' "MTV Unplugged" at #9.
