German Chart Comments - Issue Date 14.03

Not much going on in the German top three this week as Pharrell Williams' "Happy" clocks up an eighth non-consecutive week as the country's number one. The US star is followed once again by former chart topper Mr. Probz and "Waves", while Helene Fischer returns to the top three as "Atemlos durch die Nacht" moves up one.

Ex-British number one, and one of the early spring hits this year, "Rather Be" of Clean Bandit (with the support of Jess Glynne) rises two to #4, while "Dark Horse" of Katy Perry scores a new peak at #6, up one from #7.

This week also sees "Liar Liar" of newcomer Cris Cab entering the top ten for the first time as the collaboration with Pharrell advances three positions to #10.

The highest new entry comes to the credit of Coldplay, who were last in the countdown with Hunger Games' "Atlas" (peak #19). "Magic", the pilot release from the band's new album, enters this week at #25 and it would be interesting to see whether the song could have any longevity or is destined to disappear in a week or two.

Coinciding with the peak of the Cologne carnivals, Brings' "Koelsche Jung" moves up to #26 from #41 to become their second best performing single, while fellow Cologne band Cat Ballou sees new interest in their 2013 single "Et Jitt Kein Wood" as the song soars to #29 from #62.

The Album Chart  

Helene Fischer seems unstoppable as her multi-selling "Farbenspiel" returns to the summit of the LP chart, showing that there are enough Germans who still do not own it. Thus, Pharrell Williams fails to score the double as his "G I R L" charts at #2, beating the #14 peak position of "In My Mind" from 2006, while Berlin indie folk band Mighty Oaks debut at #10 with "Howl".
