German Chart Comments - Issue Date 6.03

Ellie Goulding spends a third week as Germany's number one with "Love Me Like You Do", followed once again by "Cheerleader", the song of Omi, which Ellie replaced at the summit. "Firestone" of Kygo and the vocals of Conrad, which entered the top 100 together with Omi in the first week of 2015, joins the latter in the top three this week by advancing from #6 to #3.

Also having his first ever top 20 hit, both as a lead artist and as a guest, is The Weeknd as his "Earned It" moves up seven to #17.

David Guetta continues scoring hits in Germany and this time it is his collaboration with Emeli Sande called "What I Did For Love" which advances eleven positions to peak just outside the top 20 at #21. It is doubtful that it would reach the top three as the previous two singles of Guetta did but at least the top 20 is now within reach.

Last Kelly Clarkson was in the German countdown with the 2012 flop "Catch My Breath" (peak #89). Now the singer is back on a better form as her "Heartbreak Song" rises to #23 from #41. The pilot single from Kelly's new album becomes her eleventh top 30 track in Germany.

Belgian DJ project Lost Frequencies enters the top 30 this week at #37, an increase from #40, with "Are You With Me". The song, which fits perfectly with the current dance trends, is actually a remix of a track of US country singer Easton Corbin.

German producer Zedd is back with a new starry collaboration after the one with Ariana Grande. This time it's Selena Gomez who lends her vocals to the track called "I Want You To Know" at #43. Selena Gomez has been recently in the chart with the rather lackluster performance of "The Heart Wants What It Wants" peaking at #53 and staying in the chart for just three weeks.

"Sugar", the third official single from Maroon 5's "V" album, makes it this week inside the top 50 by rising eleven to #49. The previous two ones both reached the top 20.

The Album Chart  

In the LP chart, the soundtrack of Fifty Shades Of Grey moves up one to claim the throne with last week's winner Bushido plummeting to #12. The compilation is followed by the latest LP of legendary German rock band Scorpions called "Return To Forever". The album becomes the second consecutive studio one of the group to peak at #2 after their 2010 effort "Sting in the Tail". The third LP of rock/punk band Krawallbrueder titled "Venganza" makes a career best for the Saarland guys at #3. The re-release of Led Zeppelin's 1975 album "Physical Graffiti" sees the LP appearing at #4, while "Karacho", the new offering of local alternative band Donots, can be found at #5. The second album of rapper Mosh36 called "Unikat" is this week at #7. This week also marks the first time "Farbenspiel", the multi-platinum album of Helene Fischer, leaves the top ten since its release way back in the autumn of 2013.
