Surprisingly, or not, after the success of Clean Bandit, another dance number one track from the UK storms the German chart as "My Love" of Route 94 soars from #53 to #20. It is the first hit of the dance project and features the vocals of Jess Glynne, who has also helped the Clean Bandit's song being so popular right now.

The Album Chart 

Though there is a real influx of new entries in the top 100, "Farbenspiel", which was crowned album of the year at last week's Echo awards (the German Grammys), of Helene Fischer returns comfortably to the number one slot. It is followed by Unheilig and their "Best Of", while rapper Samy Deluxe is new at #3 with "Maennlich" - his fifth top three album. New at #4 we have Johnny Cash's "Out Among the Stars", while Shakira's "Shakira" moves in at #5, keeping her string of top six albums unharmed since 2001. Also new in the top ten are Michelle's "Die Ultimative Best Of" at #7 and Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa's "Live In Amsterdam" at #8.
