Rag'n'Bone Man spends his seventh week at the summit of the German singles chart with "Human", followed closely by David Guetta, Cedric Cervais and Chris Willis and "Would I Lie To You" still at #2. One of the fastest rises of the week belongs to Clean Bandit, Sean Paul and Anne-Marie and their UK-chart topper "Rockabye". The song lifts #15-#3 to become Clean Bandit's third top-three hit next to #1-smash "Rather Be" and #2-single "Real Love".

The Album Chart
In the LP chart, Unheilig, one of the most overrated German rock bands (yes, I said it), scores its fourth number one album with "Von Mensch zu Mensch", which is said to be their final release. That deprives one Robbie Williams of landing his twelfth! consecutive #1 with "The Heavy Entertainment Show" (new at #2), which let's face it is a shame. Bon Jovi are new at #3 with their new LP "This House is Not For Sale" and Hammerfall enter at #9 with "Built to Last".
Although David Guetta, Cedric Cervais and Chris Willis led the mid-week chart with their "Would I Lie To You", it wasn't enough to eventually replace Rag'n'Bone Man at the top of the singles countdown in Germany and "Human" of the British singer stays there for the sixth time in a row. "Would I Lie To You" sticks to #2, while Sia's "The Greatest" remains at #3 in what is more or less unchanged top ten.

"Starboy" of The Weeknd and Daft Punk manages to gain a position to a new peak at #6, while James Arthur scores his second ever top ten single in the shape of his comeback offering "Say You Won't Let Go", which jumps 12 places to #9. His debut "Impossible" peaked at #5 in May 2013.

"Rockabye" of Clean Bandit enters the top 20 in its second week on the list as it rises #28-#15. Kungs is also up, by one to #16, with "Don't You Know". Zara Larsson's "Ain't My Fault" advances #18-#17.
The success of German rap songs seems unstoppable for the time being (look at RAF Camora and Bonez MC) and is this week proven by the top 20 entry of "Kokaina" of Miami Yacine, which is the first song for the artist in the chart and climbs four to #19.

There's a fresh peak for Elle Goulding and "Still Falling for You" at #33, up one. At the same time Maroon 5 return to the top 40 with "Don't Wanna Know". The song moves up seven to #35. The guys were last in the top 40 with "Animals" (peak #11) in 2014.

The Album Chart
The foray of new albums in the album chart continues this week, with Böhse Onkels scoring their sixth consecutive number one with "Memento".

Ina Müller's "Ich bin die" comes in at #4, followed by Dat Adam and "Hydra 3D" at #5.
