His “Love Songs” are very well received by music fans. Peter Fox made it straight to the top of the German album charts.
The influencer and entertainer Twenty4tim has landed at number one in the German single charts for the third time – this time together with Kitty Kat and the duet “Hot Or Not”. Peter Fox made it to the top of the albums with his “Love Songs”, as GfK Entertainment announced on Friday.
In the single charts, the long-term occupants of the top position, Udo Lindenberg and Apache 207, have to be satisfied with second place this time, as GfK said: “The “Komet” keeps its chance in second place, next week with Matthias Reims “Damn , I love you” in terms of number one rankings.”
Otto comes back with the “Friesenjung”.
The 22-year-old Twenty4tim already had number one songs in October with the song “Gönn dir” and at the end of April with “Icecream”. The man from Cologne, whose real name is Tim Maximilian Kampmann, has around 2.5 million Instagram followers, more than 400,000 monthly Spotify listeners and almost 5 million Tiktok fans. His clips online are often comedy videos in which he dresses up and puts on makeup. Celebrities like Micaela Schäfer, Désirée Nick, Katja Krasavice or Sylvie Meis and Bruce Darnell have appeared in his music videos.
Otto’s song “Friesenjung” from 1993 – a cover of the Sting catchy tune “Englishman in New York” – entered the single charts at number three thanks to a sample by rappers Ski Aggu and Joost. “For comedian Otto Waalkes, it is the highest single placement ever and the second chart hit after the film song “Get up, if you stand up to dwarfs”, which stormed to position twelve in 2006,” said the chart investigators on Friday. The rapper Pashanim (“Bagchaser Can”) came in fourth, on the five Apache 207 as a solo artist without Lindenberg (“If that stays that way”).
In terms of albums, Peter Fox is followed by Nico Santos’ new album “Ride”, followed by “Sing meine Song – Das Tauschkonzert, Vol. 10” (second place last week). New on the four is songwriter Heinz Rudolf Kunze (“Can laugh before”) and new on the five is the pop singer Monika Martin (“Heaven sends this love”).
Rock icon Tina Turner, who died last Wednesday at the age of 83, is posthumously in the charts with three albums: “Simply The Best” (#46), “Break Every Rule” (48) and “All The Best !” (49).
