The Fab Four’s soaring is over: rappers Kontra and Nico Santos conquer the top of the singles charts. When it comes to albums, Beatles re-releases do quite well.

The rapper Kontra K and the singer The Beatles have pushed Nico Santos off the top of the German singles charts. Their song “The Sun” went straight to number one this week and relegated “Now and Then” by the Beatles to fifth place, as GfK Entertainment announced. Kontra K also came first in the album category with “Nobody steals my hope from me”. Stray Kids came second with their K-pop album “Rock-Star”.

Nevertheless, the top ten albums are firmly in the hands of the Beatles, thanks to two re-released cult albums. “The Beatles 1967-1970 (The Blue Album)” ranks fifth, “The Beatles 1962-1966 (The Red Album)” ranks seventh. Their compilation “The Beatles 1962-1970” made it to number six. This puts them just behind the Rolling Stones (“Hackney Diamonds”) in third place and “Bitches Need Rap” by Shirin David (fourth place).

As for the singles, “Prada” by cassö, Raye & D-Block Europe remains in second place, followed by Bennet’s “Voir sur ton chemin” and “Greedy” by Tate McRae.

In keeping with November, the approach of Christmas is also noticeable. The holiday classics from Wham! and Mariah Carey are moving forward, according to GfK. “Last Christmas” climbs from number 64 to 22, “All I Want For Christmas is You” from 68 to 25.

GfK determines its charts based on music sales, in stores as well as via streaming platforms or download portals.
