German Chart Comments - Issue Date 13.02

It has been expected for some time but finally Omi's "Cheerleader", remixed by Felix Jaehn, makes it to the number one in its sixth week on the chart by leaping seven positions. It thus replaces the soundtrack anthem of James Newton Howard and actress Jennifer Lawrence, "The Hanging Tree", which slips to #2 after staying two weeks at #1. This also means that Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars will have to be content with the #3 position, where their "Uptown Funk" smash stays for a second week in a row.

At #6, up from #21 in its second week, is "Fourfiveseconds", the track belonging to Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney. The song now has the honour to be Rihanna's 18th top ten single in Germany as a lead artist (or the 22th one when her guest appearances are counted). As for the notorious Kanye, the song is his second to reach the top ten, beating the #8 peak of "Love Lockdown" from 2008. As for Paul we have to go back to 1993 to find evergreen "Hope of Deliverance" as his last single in the Germany's top ten.

Entering together with "Cheerleader" six weeks ago, "Firestone" of Kygo, another hit from northern Europe, makes it inside the first ten this time by flying five to #8.
