The top
three is unchanged for yet another week with Robin Thicke's "Blurred
Lines" (third week at #1), Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" and Capital Cities'
"Safe and Sound" keeping the positions one to three.

It's also great
to see OneRepublic having Germany as their best (and perhaps the only huge)
market worldwide as "Counting Stars", the third single from the guys'
"Native" album, advancing four to #6. It does matches the peak of
previous single "If I Lose Myself". It's the seventh song of OneRepublic
reaching the top ten in Germany.
Video
New to the top ten this week is
Bastille's "Pompeii", which soars from #22 to #7. It is the first song
of the British band to ever chart in Germany, and will definitely be one
of the hits there this summer.
Video
It took a few weeks but Calvin
Harris finally has his best performing single in Germany as "I Need Your
Love" makes a move to #13 from #17. Harris has, however, a #1 song on
his account with his participation in Rihanna's "We Found Love".
Video
Somewhat
surprisingly due to the lack of any promotion and in view of its
performance elsewhere, Fergie's "Great Gatsby" title "A Little Party
Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" climbs six to #15, becoming the fourth
solo single of the Black Eyed Peas star in Germany. (Yes, I know that
Q-Tip and Goonrock are also credited but who cares...)
Lyric Video
UK's former #1 "La La La"
of Naughty Boy is also making its way towards the upper reaches of the
German countdown as the song moves nine to #26. It's the first single for
Naughty Boy and singer Sam Smith in Germany's top 100.
Video
Following a
heavy promotion on MTV/VIVA, Tom Odell finally has hit worldwide with
"Another Love", which this week rises four to #30.
Video
UK star Dizzee Rascal has been in the German top 50 only once as a lead artist so far with the #48 peak of "Dance wiv Me" in 2008. Now, however, with the support of the one Robbie Williams, his "Goin' Crazy" debuts at the rather better #32.
Video
Five positions behind, at #37, Alex Hepburn's "Under" makes a welcome comeback in the top 50, an increase from #70.
Video
At #42 Jason Derulo's "The Other Side" returns to the top 50, up from #80, while "If You Could See Me Now", The Script's follow-up to #2 hit "Hall Of Fame" advances seven to #45.

In between, C.G.
Project feat. EbGb by Carmen Geiss are responsible for the second new
entry in the top 100 called "My City Miami", which comes in at #44.

Schlager
duo Die Amigos score their fourth number one album this week as "Im Herzen"
debuts directly at the top, replacing Black Sabath's "13", which moves
down to #2. LaBrassBanda, who were beaten for the Eurovision contest by Cascada, register a small victory as their third studio album "Europa" enters new at #3. Also new is the "Mythology" compilation of Bee Gees at #9.

Expectedly, Robin Thicke has his first ever number one in Germany this
week with "Blurred Lines", which rises one to claim the summit from Daft
Punk. "Get Lucky" is thus now at #2 after spending two weeks on top, while
Capital Cities' "Safe And Sound" continues to stick at #3.

Audio - Daft Punk
Video - Capital Cities
The
highest new entry comes just outside the top three, belonging to German
rapper Prince Kay One. Just as Kay One, the singer had a top ten hit,
supporting Bushido's "Fackeln im Wind"
from 2010, while as a lead musician "V.I.P." is easily Kay One's
biggest song to date. It comes with the support of The Product G&B,
who have completely disappeared after Santana's number one "Maria Maria"
from 2000.
Video
Though it seemed that Psy's "Gentleman" would quickly
burn out, the song finds some internal strength and shoots this week
back in the top 20, to #12 from #25.
Video
The second new entry comes also
from a German rapper. Yasha had a huge success with "Lila Wolken", where
he provided a helping hand to Marteria and Miss Platnum, with the hit
reaching #1 at the end of last year. Now, he is back solo as "Strand"
debuts at #19.
Up five to #21 OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" advances
towards the top 20, while in its second week Bruno Mars' "Treasure"
soars to #25 from #91. The two songs are the third singles from
OneRepublic's and Mars' current LPs.

Video - Bruno Mars
Fergie was last in the top 30 as a lead artist back in 2007 with "Big Girls Don’t Cry" - a situation which now changes as "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" from the Great Gatsby soundtrack moves three to #29.
Lyric Video
At
#36 Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull move up a place from #37, while
Rihanna's next official single - "Right Now", a collaboration with David
Guetta (who else?), is up five to #43.
Video - J.Lo.
Audio - Rihanna
Up two to #44 is Duke Dumont
and his "Need U (100 %)", while at #50 Lana Del Rey barely makes it in
the top 50 with its Great Gatsby anthem "Young & Beautiful". Thus
she has an unharmed string of top 50 singles in the country, though her
previous three never made it inside the top 40.

The Album Chart
The
dominance of German artists in the LP chart continues for yet another
week as Xavier Naidoo scores his fifth number one album with "Bei meiner
Seele". He is followed by Beatrice Egli, Tim Bendzko, Sportfreunde
Stiller and Santiano in a perfectly looking German top five. The second
new entry comes in the shape of "...Like Clockwork", the latest album
of Queens Of The Stone Age at #7. The debut album of local newcomer
Maxim, called "Staub", enters the chart at #10.
It's a second week for Daft Punk and "Get Lucky" on top though their
reign can soon be over as Robin Thicke's phenomenal "Blurred Lines"
soars eleven positions and lands at #2. And yes, Pharrell Williams takes
part in the two hits, go figure... At #3 Capital Cities' "Safe And
Sound" is simply refusing to exit the top three.
Audio - Daft Punk
Video - Capital Cities
Video - Robin Thicke
Up six to a new peak
at #4 Sportfreunde Stiller are having one of their biggest hits to date
with "Applaus!! Applaus!!". Now only number one "’54, ’74, ’90, 2006"
has charted higher in the Sporties' career.
Lyric Video
Also advancing fast (and
hopefully not furious) is 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa's "We Own It" as
the Fast & Furious 6 song moves up 23 positions and enters the top
ten at #5 in its second week. It's easily the best performing single for
the two US rappers (Maroon 5's "Payphone" excluded).
Video
Down the
countdown, OneRepublic are destined to have a third hit from their
current album in Germany as the (great) "Counting Stars" shoots itself
from #51 to #26 and becomes the ninth (out of ten) single of Ryan and co
in the German top 30. The previous two singles from the "Native" album
reached the top 10.
Video
At #30 we have a re-entry of "Stern des Südens"
of Bayern-Fans United, which is of course attributed to the huge success
of the German football club over the last few weeks.
Audio
As "Great
Gatsby" is occupying the top places in the cinema charts, Fergie's
anthem from the movie "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)"
moves in its second week up 9 positions to #32.
Lyric Video
It's also a new peak for
Bastille's "Pompeii", which finally enters the top 40 at #36, up from
#50. Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull also return this week to the top 40 as
their single "Live It Up" rebounds from #70 to #37. It is however a far
cry from the success the two global stars are used to in Germany.
Video - Bastille
Video - J.Lo.
The
highest and only new entry inside the top 50 is the dance anthem "Bang
Bang (Explode)" of newcomers Df&S vs. Ceresia & Ron Carroll at
#42. For now the summer is definitely lacking any strong dance tracks
but the next weeks will probably amend that.
Video
And finally, Duke
Dumont's UK number one "Need U (100 %)" makes it this week to the top 50
as it soars from #77 to #46. It's the first single of the British DJ in
the German charts.

69. Kamaliya - I'm Alive

90. Ke$ha ft. will.i.am - Crazy Kids

The Album Chart
It's
a triumph for German acts in the album chart as Tim Bendzko's sophomore
album "Am seidenen Faden" debuts directly at #1. His debut peaked at #4
two years ago. Now Bendzko is followed by Sportfreunde Stiller's sixth
studio album "New York, Rio, Rosenheim", which becomes the third LP of
the band to peak at #2. They of course have two number ones on their
account. The top three is completed by Beatrice Egli's "Glücksgefühle",
which is down only one in its second week on release. Also new in the
top ten is the debut album of Gleis 8, the group which has taken Anna
from Rosenstolz after the duo break-up. "Bleibt das immer so" comes in
at #7.
An influx of new entries, most of which come from this year's Eurovision contest, characterises this week's German chart. The biggest winner however are Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams who add Germany to the long list of worldwide charts where "Get Lucky" goes to #1. The single advances two and replaces Beatrice Egli and her schlager anthem "Mein Herz" from the summit just a week after the song debuted there. Beatrice is down to #3, while former number one - Capital Cities' "Safe and Sound" is still at number two.
Audio - Daft Punk
Short Video - Beatrice
Video - Capital Cities
The highest new entry comes from German band Frida Gold, who've been gaining in momentum over the last few years and deservingly "Liebe ist meine Rebellion" becomes their biggest ever hit by entering at #4. The song is based on 90s Gala single "Freed From Desire", which peaked at #14 in 1997.
Video
A position behind Frida Gold we can find Emmelie de Forest, this year's Eurovision winner from Denmark and her "Only Teardrops". The success of the single is far from the #1 smash of Loreen's "Euphoria" from last year, though the latter's performance was more a one-off than a pattern for the contest so the entry of Emmelie inside the top 5 is actually at the end quite an achievement.
Live
As if Norwegian duo Madcon are destined to always come around the Eurovision contest as this week their latest single "One Life" makes (somewhat surprising) appearance in the top ten by hitting the #9 position. It becomes the fourth top ten single of Madcon next to "Beggin'", "Glow" and "Freaky Like Me". The song features the vocals of Kelly Rowland, who is quite accustomed to give a supporting hand to top ten hits.
Video
Inside the top 50, the Eurovision is also to be "blamed" for the #24 new entry of Norway's "I Feed You My Love" by Margaret Berger, the #39 one of Hungary's "Kedvesem (Zoohacker Remix)" by Byealex and the #49 appearance of Anouk's "Birds" from the Netherlands. Music lovers know Anouk with her "Nobody's Wife" from the 90s but it's quite strange to see "Birds" outperforming by a mile the #87 peak of the hit from 1997.

Video - Byealex
Video - Anouk
Two cinema hits are responsible for two of the non-Eurovison related new entries in the top 50 this week as Fast & Furious 6 gave us the first proper music hit from the series with "We Own It" of 2 Chainz feat. Wiz Khalifa (new at #28), while The Great Gatsby features the new Fergie song "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)", which enters at #41. Unfortunately the quite better "Young and Beautiful" of Lana Del Rey, which features heavily in the underwhelming movie, appears at just #74.

Promo - Fergie
We should also not overlook the new entries at #40 by Alex Hepburn and "Under" -- the debut single of the promising UK singer; at #44 where Blue follow their top ten hit "Hurt Lovers" with "Without You" (the 14th top 50 hit of the former boy band) and at #46 where Lena brings new material with "Mr. Arrow Key" - the third single taken from the latest album of the German star.

The Album Chart
Daft Punk score this week a double feat as their fourth studio album "Random Access Memories" debuts directly at number one. It thus prevents DSDS's winner Beatrice Egli's debut album from hitting the summit as "Glücksgefühle" enters at #2. As Daft Punk, Thirty Seconds To Mars are also having their biggest moment as "Love Lust Faith + Dreams" comes in at #3, becoming the first album of Jared and co to enter the top 10 in Germany. Also new at #5 is Airbourne's "Black Dog Barking" (second career-best) and at #10 Jamie Cullum's "Momentum" (career-best).
