German Chart Comments - Issue Date 9.01

With the start of the new year, no one is able to challenge the supremacy of David Guetta's "Dangerous" as the song spends its sixth week at #1. Kwabs' "Walk" sticks to #2, while Jennifer Lawrence-sung "The Hanging Tree" is still at #3, proving to be more than just a brief soundtrack highlight.

The Album Chart

In the Album Chart Helene Fischer's megasuccess "Farbenspiel" returns to the summit, rising from #2. As many of you already know, the album crowned the year-end LP chart for 2014 after doing so for 2013 when it was actually released. It is also the home of single "Atemlos durch die Nacht", which despite never reaching #1 in the Top 100 ranked at the first position in the year-end Singles chart for 2014. And by the look of it, Helene Fischer starts the new year great as well.
