It's up three to five for "Hideaway" and Kiesza, while Jason Derulo scores his sixth top 20 single as "Wiggle" moves up eight to #13.

Michael Jackson's successful team-up with Justin Timberlake on "Love Never Felt So Good" makes it this week inside the top 20 as the song climbs five to #18. This is the first Michael Jackson release to reach the top 20 since "Hold My Hand" peaked at #7 in 2010.

It's also worth noting that "Calm After The Storm" of The Common Linnets, who ranked second in this Eurovison, continues to stick around and this week stands firm at #20, while all other Eurovision songs bar the winner and the German offering are long gone and forgotten.

The biggest new entry can be found at #22 coming from Lana Del Rey. Though "West Coast", the pilot single from Lana's eagerly anticipated second album, does not sets the charts on fire, it has the honour for now to be her third most successful release in the country.

As Linkin Park continue to release the same single/different lyrics/, they continue to have a relatively good time in Germany's Top 100. That's why "Until It's Gone", the second offering of the rockers' "The Hunting Party" LP enters at #24. First single "Guilty All the Same" peaked at #32.

Further down the top 50, Shakira's "Dare (La La La)" advances four to #25, while Ariana Grande's first ever German chart single "Problem" soars sixteen to #34.

The summer has already started and it is time for the Majorca hits to affect the chart. So, there should be no surprised that party-schlager king Mickie Krause brings "Geh mal Bier hol'n - GmBh" inside the top 50, up to #45 from #53.

Following this year's trend for UK dance number ones to be successful in Germany as well, Sigma's "Nobody To Love" rises twelve to #48.
