German Chart Comments - Issue Date 3.04

Finally, after a six-week stay on the top, Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" has to give up the reign this week to Belgian DJ act Lost Frequencies and his debut track "Are You With Me". The hit is based on a song by country singer Easton Corbin and is already in the top five of most of the countries in continental western Europe. So Ellie and Lost Frequencies switch the #1 and #3 positions with Omi's "Cheerleader" remaining for a seventh consecutive week at #2.

"Hold Back The River" of James Bay is up two to #4, while the highest new entry, yet another example of the current dance trends, belongs to the curiously named Gestört aber GeiL & Koby Funk feat. Wincent Weiss. The song, under the title of "Unter meiner Haut", comes in at #12. It is based on a single of relatively unknown local singer Elif, who had brought the song to #80 in the spring of 2013.

The Album Chart

In the LP chart Mark Knopfler somehow manages to keep the number one slot with "Tracker" for a second week in a row - a feat which has been unseen for more than half a year. New arrivals fill in the positions between two to six and at #2 we have "What's Goes?", the first album of hip hop group Die Orsons to enter the top ten; at #3 comes the debut album of James Bay under the name of "Chaos and the Calm"; the latest from Toto called "Toto XIV" is at #4; Joe Bonamassa's "Muddy Wolf At Red Rocks" arrives at #5, while Eskimo Callboy's "Crystals" is new at #6.
