Helene Fischer - "Breathless" at number one in the charts for the first time
"Atemlos durch die Nacht" may be one of Helene Fischer's (39) biggest hits, but it was never enough to reach the top of the charts - until now. A new edition of "Atemlos" with Shirin David (28) has now snatched the top spot in the Official German Singles Charts, determined by GfK Entertainment.
Single charts: hits and Christmas classics
The pop queen and the rapper presented the new version together for the first time live on Thomas Gottschalk's (73) "Wetten, dass...?" farewell show last Saturday. "Atemlos durch die Nacht" was first released in 2013 and, according to the chart makers, is not only the only song in Germany with more than one million downloads. The song has also spent 118 weeks in the charts so far, making it one of the most successful chart hits.
The other positions in the singles charts show that Christmas is just around the corner. The classic "Last Christmas" by Wham! fights its way up to number two, while Mariah Carey's (54) "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is in third place. Yakary's "Sonnenbank.mp3" now occupies fourth place, while another Christmas song, "Merry Christmas Everyone" by Shakin' Stevens (75), completes the top five.
German rappers dominate the album charts
In the albums category, rapper Casper (41) achieved the highest new entry with "Nur Liebe, immer." - straight to number one. The cult rockers from the Rolling Stones are pushing into second place with "Hackney Diamonds" and Casper's colleague Kontra K (36) secures third place with "Die Hoffnung klaut mir niemand". Rapper Badmómzjay (21) is fresh in fourth place with "Survival Mode" and Stray Kids land in fifth place with "Rock-Star".
