The members of the group are in the best of celebrations: “Hurray! ‘Puro Amor Live Tapes’ is numero uno! Thank you for the pole position, thank you for pumping us and the thing full of love,” they thank their fans.
The live recording of “Bis zum bitteren Ende” by the Toten Hosen is also successful and occupies second place in the album hit list. The punk trio in the top 5 is completed by the British band The Cure, “Wish” can be found as a re-entry on the four. Pop singer Sarah Connor (42) slips from the top to third place with the Christmas album “Not So Silent Night”. “Midnights” by Taylor Swift (32) has to be content with fifth place after fourth place in the previous week.
