German Chart Comments - Issue Date 3.01

Pitbull and Kesha spend comfortably a second week on the top of the German singles chart with "Timber". The biggest competition comes in the face of Andreas Kuemmert, the winner of last year's The Voice of Germany, whose "Simple Man" moves up two to #2. "Do You Like What You See", the debut single of Ivy Quainoo (the winner in 2011) also peaked at #2, while "Unbreakable" of Nick Howard reached #5 in 2012.

One of the biggest news this week is the #10 position of "Atemlos Durch Die Nacht" of Helene Fischer, which climbs four to enter the top ten for the first time. Boosted by several dance remixes, which even make the song playable inside clubs, the hit becomes easily the most successful song of Helene so far. And after demonstrating unbeatable power inside the LP chart, perhaps now the multi-talented artist will also conquer the singles ones?

Up eight to #22 in its second week, we have "Happy", current UK #1, of Pharrell Williams climbing its way towards the top 20. At #28, up from #38, "Demons" of Imagine Dragons has once again started rising, registering a new peak, this time inside the top 30.

In a quiet week for new entries, the highest one belongs to Duesseldorf band Broilers and its "Ist da jemand" at #32. The boys have had two singles inside the top 100 so far, with 2011's "Harter Weg" being the more successful, with a peak at #28. However, the two songs spent only a week inside the countdown.

And finally, also new at #43 is "Kopfvilla", the debut single of hip hop newcomer Sierra Kidd.

The Album Chart 

Another slow week in terms of new entries in the LP chart, which leads the way to "Farbenspiel" - the biggest selling album of 2013 belonging to Helene Fischer, to return to the top. Thus, Robbie Williams' "Swings Both Ways" is down to #2, while "Mtv Unplugged" of Max Herre is still #3. Beyonce's surprising new album arrives at #13 this week.
