Music charts
Mariah Carey at the top – Stones at the top in albums
Every year again: Mariah Carey conquers the singles charts. When it comes to albums, the Rolling Stones are ahead.
Following Carey, as in the previous week, are Wham! (“Last Christmas”), Shakin’ Stevens (“Merry Christmas Everyone”) and Chris Rea (“Driving Home For Christmas”). This time in fifth place is “Wonderful Dream (Holidays Are Coming)” by the singer Melanie Thornton, who died in 2001.
The highest newcomer in the single charts is at position 27: “3 Haselnuss” by Jaques Raupé & Felix Harrer. The song brings together “the theme tune of the cult film “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” with modern techno beats,” explained GfK Entertainment.
In the album charts, Wincent Weiss falls from the top to tenth place with “Wincent’s White Christmas”. The Rolling Stones (“Hackney Diamonds”) rise from the four to the one. Ben Zucker is new on the Zwei with the album “Today not!” a. Music legend Peter Gabriel falls slightly from second to third place with “I/O”. Andrea Berg climbs from eight to four with “Christmas”. Marius Müller-Westernhagen is still in fifth place with “Westernhagen 75 (18 songs: 1974 – 2023)”.
