Artists singing in German are so rare to be seen in the more respected end of the chart these days, that we can more than welcome the return of Sportfreunde Stiller in the top 20 with "Das Geschenk" at #15. The single heralds the release of the boys' new album and arrives three years after their last chart entry "New York, Rio, Rosenheim". It's the seventh top 20 single of the band.

After it stalled around the #18 position for the past couple of weeks, "Final Song" of  manages to advance two notches to #16, while Martin Garrix & Bebe Rexha enter the top 20 at #19 with "In The Name Of Love", up five. It's thus the second single of Martin Garrix in the top 20, next to his "Animals", which reached #4 in 2013 before spending 56 weeks in the top 100. Bebe Rexha has been in the top 20 twice before, providing support to David Guetta's "Hey Mama" (peak #9) and G-Eazy's "Me, Myself & I" (peak #7).

Although the name of Wincent Weiss may sound unfamiliar, the German singer has already had great success by providing vocals to Gestört aber Geil's 2015 megahit "Unter meiner Haut". Now Wincent is ready to storm the top 40 completely on his own. The song is called "Musik sein" and can be found at #38, up from #45.

The remaining new entries are led by the 2016 version of "Where Is The Love", the number-one smash of Black Eyed Peas from 2003. The charity release enters at #39. There is another new song of Bonez MC & RAF Camora entering at #44, while the surprising new offering of Swedish supernova Zara Larsson "Ain't My Fault" starts its chart career at #46. Clueso and Tim Bendzko return to the countdown at #48 and #55 with "Neuanfang" and "Keine Maschine" to prove that German male singers still have power in them. They should however have landed higher. Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj's "Side To Side" appears at #69, while Sia's "The Greatest" comes in at #76 with not so bad prospects to join the top 40 soon. Another hit is cooking at #89 where actress and occasional singer Hailee Steinfeld joins forces with Grey and Zedd in the shape of "Starving".

The Album Chart 

German rappers take control over the album chart with Fler's latest "Vibe" entering directly at #1 to become his second number-one LP. In his long career Fler is still to miss the top ten. Last week's winners - Beginner slip one to #2 with "Advanced Chemistry". Rapper Kay One returns to the chart with his latest "Der Junge von Damals" at #3 and his colleague Herzog scores a career best with "Vollbluthustler" at #4. Also new inside the top 10 are "The Good Life", the newest release of Till Broenner at #6, and "Bad Vibrations" of US hardcore band A Day To Remember at #7. And finally, let's spare a thought of the disastrous performance of Britney Spears' "Glory", which plummets from #3 to #42....

It's up two to #5 for "The Ocean", the summer anthem of Swedish DJ Mike Perry with the vocals of Shy Martin. The Chainsomers & Halsey enter the top ten with "Closer" at #6, up from #12. The song already topped the countdowns in the USA, UK, Australia and many more, so maybe Germany will follow suit over the next weeks.

Also moving in the right direction is Disturbed's "Sound of Silence" at #7, up three, and beating the #9 peak of Simon and Garfunkel's 1965 original classic.

Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha also head towards the first 20 with "In The Name Of Love" moving up nine to #24. 257ers' "Holz" advances this week five and lands at #30.

This week's new entries are led by "Bang" of local rapper ApeCrime at #38. The previous single of the artist spent only a week in the top 100 despite entering at #12. The release of the new album of German hip hop trio Beginner has prompted the interest in many of its tracks and eight of them, plus the two singles taken from the LP, find their way into the top 100. The remaining new entries belong to rappers Hanybal and Bonez MC and "Baller los" at #96 and of controversial TV host and comedian Jan Böhmermann under his artistic pseudonym POL1Z1STENS0HN. The song is called "Blasserdünnerjunge macht sein Job" and is at #99, a far cry from his previous and only chart entry so far - "Ich hab Polizei" (peak #10).

The Album Chart 

13 years were necessary for Beginner to release a new album and to follow the number one success of their third effort "Blast Action Heroes". So, "Advanced Chemistry" of Jan Delay, Denyo and DJ Mad, once known as Absolute Beginner, enters directly at the summit of the album chart. German heavy metal veterans Running Wild trace back their origins in 1976 but have never before managed to enter the top ten. This changes as their new album "Rapid Foray" shoots itself directly at #2. Blame it to the fact that less people buy LPs nowadays or to some surprisingly rekindled interest, but Britney Spears manages to return to the top three for the first time in 13 years with her latest "Glory". She, however, continues to be in a desperate need of a hit single. "Decision Day" of Sodom is new at #7, while "Narben" of rapper Crystal F is at #10.
