German Chart Comments - Issue Date 29.07.2016

As Imany's "Don't Be So Shy" clocks up a full month as Germany's most beloved single, Major Lazer, the music project behind recent chart smashes "Lean On" and "Light It Up" (both with peak at #4), is back with another hit, this time with the support of Justin Bieber and MØ. "Cold Water" not only managed to remove Drake's "One Dance" as UK's #1 after the (embarrassing) incredible 15 weeks but in Germany arrives also big at #2. Justin Bieber has already had two hits on his hands recently, in the shape of "Sorry" and "Love Yourself", while Danish singer MØ made "Lean On" unforgettable and is currently enjoying a solo success with her own "Final Song". The latter enters the top 40 this week at #38, up from #51.

Although featuring the vocals of German veteran Herbert Grönemeyer, Felix Jaehn's previous release "Jeder für Jeden" stumbled to make big impact as it peaked at #27 before fading away quickly. Now, however, the DJ and producer is quickly back with new material. "Bonfire", with vocal support provided by a singer called Alma, climbs from #32, where it entered last week, to #13.

Mike Perry's debut "The Ocean" is up six to #15, while Enrique Igleasias' "Duele el Corazon" goes up three to #17.

On his way up is also Alvaro Soler, the singer with Spanish-German origins, who last year brought "El mismo sol" to #20. Now, however, he has come up with a track having considerably greater potential as "Sofia" has already topped the charts in Italy and Switzerland. In Germany it enters the top 40 at #34, up sixteen places.
