German Chart Comments - Issue Date 21.02

Though Dutch Mr Probz makes a phenomenal jump with "Waves" (and especially the Robin Schulz remix, it's after all the new "One Day/Stolen Dance") from #27 to #2, Pharrell Williams manages to extend his run on top of the German singles chart to six consecutive weeks with "Happy". Helene Fischer's "Atemlos durch die Nacht" spends a second week stuck to #3.

After following to #88 in its second week last time around, "Heart To Heart", the follow-up to James Blunt's number one "Bonfire Heart" (it's a heart theme obviously), finds some inner strength and shoots itself to #40. Thus all Blunt's releases in Germany have entered the top 50.
