Also on the right track is James Arthur's latest "Say You Won't Let Go". It jumps ten to #21. Thanks to his appearance on the ARD show "Schlagerboom" and to a new MTV Unplugged version, Andreas Gabalier's "Hulapalu" soars to #24 from #61 in its 44th week on the countdown. It's definitely one of the hits of the year although never reaching more than #13.

"What Is Love 2016" of Lost Frequencies enters the top 30 at #27, up from #39, while the highest new entry belongs to British (now) trio Clean Bandit with the help of Sean Paul & Anne-Marie. Their new offering "Rockabye" comes in at #28, managing to considerably improve on the #95 peak of previous single "Tears", which although becoming a major hit in the UK was a great disappointment in Germany. Clean Bandit's most successful singles in this country are "Rather Be" and "Real Love", reaching #2 and #1, respectively.

The Album Chart 

It's the aforementioned Tim Bendzko who scores his second consecutive number one album with "Immer noch Mensch" debuting straight and deservingly at the top. He thus beats rapper Olexesh and his best effort so far "Makadam" at #2. In another week full of new releases Korn return to form with "The Serenity of Suffering" at #3, while Michael Buble continues to be big with "Nobody But Me" entering at #4 just in time for the Christmas sales. Leonard Cohen has a new album at #5 with "You Want It Darker". Thus "Joanne", the longly anticipated new album of (once) superstar Lady Gaga, manages to arrive no higher than #6. Local sensation Oonagh is new at #7 with "Märchen enden gut" and local rapper M.I.K.I. debuts at #9 with sophomore album "Kurvenmukke".
