Madonna? Helene Fischer? No, it’s Andrea Berg. The singer has become the queen of the German charts with her album “Christmas”. And what do Wham! actually do?
Since this week Andrea Berg is the musician with the most number one albums in Germany. This was announced by GfK Entertainment.
The 57-year-old, who lives in Aspach in Baden-Württemberg, released her new album “Christmas” last week – and went straight to number one. No female act has been able to place more number one records in the official German charts – not even Madonna, who has twelve number one records, according to GfK.
Shortly before the start of Advent, things are already contemplative in the hit lists. 15 Christmas titles can be found in the singles charts, including the long-running hit “Last Christmas” by Wham! in tenth place. The evergreens “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey and “Merry Christmas Everyone” by Shakin’ Stevens are at numbers 12 and 21.
The top three this week are occupied by cassö, Raye & D-Block Europe with the single “Prada” (one), Tate McRae with “Greedy” in second place and Bennett with “Vois sur ton chemin (Techno Mix)” in third place. In the album charts, Till Lindemann follows with “Zunge” in second place and Kontra K with “DieHope klau mir meine” is in third place.
