official chart Germany: RENAISSANCE #2, best since 2003

30 Jahre auf der Bühne, 25 Jahre in den Charts: Andrea Berg hat derzeit einiges zu feiern. Auf ihrer Jubiläumsplatte versammelt sie nun Stars wie Florian Silbereisen, Vanessa Mai und DJ Bobo vor dem Mikro. Ihr Motto dabei: "Ich würd's wieder tun". Und genau das macht die Schlagersängerin in den Offiziellen Deutschen Charts, ermittelt von GfK Entertainment, wo sie ihr zwölftes Nummer-eins-Album hinlegt. Keine deutsche Sängerin hatte mehr; zudem zieht Berg mit Madonna gleich. Selbst US-Superstar Beyoncé ("Renaissance") muss im aktuellen Ranking klein beigeben, legt an zweiter Stelle aber die stärkste Album-Platzierung seit ihrem 2003er-Debütwerk "Dangerously In Love" (eins) hin.

Etwas brachialer geht's bei der US-Hardcore-Band Stick To Your Guns ("Spectre", vier) zur Sache, die hinter Rammstein ("Zeit", drei) landet. Pearl Jam-Sänger Eddie Vedder ("Earthling", sechs) wiederum besteigt, ebenso wie die Kultgruppe Jethro Tull ("Thick As A Brick", 16) und die deutsche Formation Thumb ("Exposure", 19), dank einer LP-Sonderedition die Top 20. Während die Amigos ("Liebe siegt") von Rang eins auf sieben rutschen, sind die HipHop-Acts Beyazz ("Get Numb With Me", fünf), HoodBlaq ("BE.ELA.QU", neun) und Dardan ("DardyNextDoor", elf) neu dabei.

In den Single-Charts bekommen die Musikfans vom offiziellen Sommerhit "Layla" einfach nicht genug und hieven DJ Robin & Schürze zum siebten Mal auf den Thron. Zusammen mit der von sieben auf zwei kletternden "Olivia" (Die Zipfelbuben) führen jetzt zwei Ballermann-Lieder die Liste an. Während Liaze auf Position drei vollkommen im "Paradise" ist, befördert Luciano zwei Tracks gleichzeitig in die Top 10: "Beautiful Girl" (vier) und "Frozen Tears" (acht, zugleich höchster New Entry).

If it wasn‘t for overpriced box sets Bey would‘ve been #1  she was #1 on iTunes & AM the whole week

Still, her best-charting album since Dangerously in Love in 2003 which hit #1.

[Jude]

She's repeaking your honor! 

[KingB®]

**** Ms. Berg  

 

but she is a mammoth so whatever. But #1 would have been a dream

[The Next Day]

She deserved #1, but releasing the same week as Andrea Berg is almost like releasing together with Taylor Swift in the US, so it's whatever. Her repeak is much more important and hopefully she can serve longevity

See... That's what happens, when you deliver quality. But I feel like this music is way more accessible (to the EU GP) than basically all her albums since 4.

don‘t the box sets benefit her because the charts are revenue based or did they change them?

I'm actually surprised that I Am... Sasha Fierce is her lowest charting album in Germany at #17

It's so weird for me because the album had massive singles there, four top 10 songs to be specific.

It debuted relatively low but the singles helped push the album a LOT since it spent more weeks in the charts (70) than any of her other albums. It had a massive resurgence on the charts in May 2009 and February 2010 (re-entering the Top 30) as well as a minor resurgence in August 2009.

Damn Andrea Berg  but still an amazing result regardless. Hopefully at least 3 stadium dates in Germany on the next tour!

2000s album charts in Germany were like the battle of the titans. Especially November-December when album sales were massive which is when she released IA...SF. 

Also Germany was never big on r&b acts and her status was far from how it was couple years later

Yes they are still revenue based. I meant Andrea Berg‘s various editions and box sets (CD, 2 fanboxes, vinyl, a Walkman edition ) prevented Bey from going #1

[Hector]

According to Media Control, Renaissance did 75.6% of Andrea Berg's figures. 

[Bloodflowers.]

Not Bey being blocked by the Bad Bunny of Germany

[QueenBLadyG]

Little Miss Local re-peaking WW

[BnPac]

Oh so close but fantastic either way!!! 

 

[Popboi.]

She would’ve probably bagged the #1 if the collector’s vinyl wasn’t out in Sept/Oct, it’s extremely expensive in Europe and Germany is revenue based

I guess but wouldn't that help the album to re-peak? I think it deserved to be a top 10 album considering how huge she was at that decade.

yeah i remember helene fischer outdoing adele despite adele outselling her by a massive margin bc her album was like 12€ and helene had like 4 different sets that were like 70€ each 

[genio]

Her competition was sadly unbeatable from the get go, but a Top 3 on the German album charts is a win for any MPG regardless.
