It's up two to #5 for "The Ocean", the summer anthem of Swedish DJ Mike Perry with the vocals of Shy Martin. The Chainsomers & Halsey enter the top ten with "Closer" at #6, up from #12. The song already topped the countdowns in the USA, UK, Australia and many more, so maybe Germany will follow suit over the next weeks.

Also moving in the right direction is Disturbed's "Sound of Silence" at #7, up three, and beating the #9 peak of Simon and Garfunkel's 1965 original classic.

This week's new entries are led by "Bang" of local rapper ApeCrime at #38. The previous single of the artist spent only a week in the top 100 despite entering at #12. The release of the new album of German hip hop trio Beginner has prompted the interest in many of its tracks and eight of them, plus the two singles taken from the LP, find their way into the top 100. The remaining new entries belong to rappers Hanybal and Bonez MC and "Baller los" at #96 and of controversial TV host and comedian Jan Böhmermann under his artistic pseudonym POL1Z1STENS0HN. The song is called "Blasserdünnerjunge macht sein Job" and is at #99, a far cry from his previous and only chart entry so far - "Ich hab Polizei" (peak #10).

The Album Chart 

13 years were necessary for Beginner to release a new album and to follow the number one success of their third effort "Blast Action Heroes". So, "Advanced Chemistry" of Jan Delay, Denyo and DJ Mad, once known as Absolute Beginner, enters directly at the summit of the album chart. German heavy metal veterans Running Wild trace back their origins in 1976 but have never before managed to enter the top ten. This changes as their new album "Rapid Foray" shoots itself directly at #2. Blame it to the fact that less people buy LPs nowadays or to some surprisingly rekindled interest, but Britney Spears manages to return to the top three for the first time in 13 years with her latest "Glory". She, however, continues to be in a desperate need of a hit single. "Decision Day" of Sodom is new at #7, while "Narben" of rapper Crystal F is at #10.
