German Chart Comments - Issue Date 24.10

The number of weeks of Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" as Germany's number one rises to three as the hit is unmovable at the summit despite the re-entry at #2 of a song which gained popularity due to its cover on The Voice Of Germany. The track in question is called "Keine ist wie du" and belongs to Gregor Meyle, whose debut single "Niemand" has been so far the only one to crack the top 50, peaking at #30 in 2008. Down one to #3 is "Fade Out Lines", the former number one of The Avener.

Further down the top 10, up one to #5 and having the honour to become the first ever top 5 single of Taylor Swift is still the catchy "Shake It Off".

Robin Schulz, with the help of Jasmine Thompson, is also on the rise as "Sun Goes Down" goes up five to #9. It is thus the first song credited entirely to Robin Schulz as a main artist to make it to the top ten in his home country.

Better late than never but Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" finds some inner strength to register a new peak at #11, up eight, despite that promotion of his next single in the country has already begun.

Up two to #20 is Hozier and "Take Me To Church" - a perfect example for a great autumn hit.
