Rapper Sido has once again topped the German album charts with his new record "Paul". It is his fifth number one, said GfK Entertainment. Previously, he had already cleared with the solo productions "I and my mask", "30-11-80" and "I and no mask" as well as with the co-production "Royal Bunker" (with Kool Savas).

Of the various Christmas albums, Sarah Connor's "Not So Silent Night" (second place) and Michael Bublé's "Christmas" (five) sold best. Singer Max Raabe jumps from tenth to third place with "Who's in a bad mood here". Taylor Swift remains fourth with "Midnights."

Only Christmas songs can be found in the top five of the single charts: Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" stays ahead, followed by "Last Christmas" (Wham!), "Merry Christmas Everyone" (Shakin' Stevens ), "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" (Brenda Lee) and "Driving Home For Christmas" (Chris Rea).
