Pharrell Williams' "Happy" extends its run on top of the German singles chart to five weeks, while Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire" finally succeeds to break his #3 spell and to move a position to #2. Also up one, and celebrating her first ever top three single, is Helene Fischer and her unstoppable "Atemlos Durch Die Nacht".

At #7, up from #11, German band Revolverheld score their fourth top ten single with the ballad "Ich Lass Fuer Dich Das Licht An". The song manages to improve on the #10 peak of the guys' previous offering - "Das kann uns keiner nehmen".

The release of a provocative video sees "Can't Remember To Forget You", the somewhat boring team-up of Shakira and Rihanna, soaring ten to enter the top ten at #9. It is thus Shakira's tenth top ten single in Germany as a lead artist.

Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" is also heading towards the top ten slots as it climbs eight and is at #12.

The highest new entry comes surprisingly by Sam Smith and his first solo single called "Money On My Mind". The song, which comes after the huge success of Naughty Boy's "La La La" (peak #2), to which Sam provided vocals, is new at #14.

The next new entry appears at #35 belonging to current UK chart topper Clean Bandit and their rather brilliant "Rather Be". Needless to say, it is the first foray of the group in the German singles chart.
