German Chart Comments - Issue Date 15.04.2016

Although Alan Walker stands at the top for the tenth consecutive week with "Faded", his reign may soon be over as Sia's "Cheap Thrills" moves one step closer to the summit and can be found at #2. It is now officially the best performing single with participation of the Australian singer in Germany. This means that Stereoact and Kerstin Ott have to finally give up the runner-up slot after being there for the amazing seven weeks. 

Further down the top twenty, Fifth Harmony climb one to seven with "Work From Home", while Mark Forster's "Wir sind gross" goes up two to #11 in its second week in the countdown. Also up two to #12 is "No" of Meghan Trainor, while The Chainsmokers and "Don't Let Me Down" register a new peak at #14, an increase from #16.

As it was expected Era Istrefi's "Bonbon" and DNCE's "Cake By The Ocean" penetrate the top 20 this week with aplomb, the former is at #15 (last week #21) and the latter at #18 (last week #24).

The highest new entry belongs to Drake's current UK number one smash "One Dance", which in Germany arrives at #24. Drake's solo efforts have started to gain attention in the country only in the last few months as his previous "proper" release "Hotline Bling" had reached #18 staying for 27 weeks in the top 100. Of course we should not overlook his credit on Rihanna's "Work", which is still huge and this week is located at #16.

Although Nena's current album "Oldschool" came to the market last year, it has so far failed to bring any hits to the singles chart. The situation may be changed as the German icon is back to the top 30 for the first time since 2010 with the great "Genau jetzt" new at #27. 

Irish alternative rock band Walking On Cars are on their way to have their first hit ever in Germany as "Speeding Cars" goes up fourteen to #28, proving that Germans continue to love radio friendly rock tunes.

Max Giesinger, who some of you may remember as the winner of the Voice of Germany in 2011 (I don't), rises this week from #53 to #37 with his new offering called "80 Millionen". The singer already had a top 20 single with "Dach der Welt" in early 2012, which I also have completely forgotten. Maybe this can be attributed to the fact that the song spent only three weeks in the top 100... Nevertheless, his comeback is worthy to be checked out.

The other new entries:

47. Christina Stürmer - Seite an Seite
55. Milow - Howling At The Moon
74. Cheat Codes - Sex (feat. Kriss Kross Amsterdam)
81. Volbeat - The Devil's Bleeding Crown
82. Kontra K - An deiner Seite

88. Feder - Blind (feat. Emmi)

The Album Chart

So no prizes for those who have already guessed who is the new number one in the LP chart. The honour goes of course to schlager legend Andrea Berg who manages to score the ninth number one album in her career as "Seelenbeben" was always destined to be one of the bestsellers of the year. Since 2001 and "Machtlos" all studio albums of Andrea have hit the top spot before spending gazillions of weeks in the chart. Also new in the top five is the latest offering of Berg's schlager colleague Beatrice Egli, who has gained popularity by winning the Deutschland sucht den Superstar contest of Dieter Bohlen, who is also the producer of Berg's new album... "Kick im Augenblick" debuts at #3.
