Young German rock in front of pop heroes of the 80s: For the fourth time, Kraftklub have topped the charts with a new album and this time clearly left Alphaville behind. As announced by GfK Entertainment on Friday, "Kargo" by the Chemnitz rock quintet came in ahead of "Eternally Yours", which Alphaville singer Marian Gold had recorded with the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg, and ahead of hip-hoppers Genetikk (third place for " OUTTATHISWORLD - Radio Show Vol. 2").

The bands 5 Seconds Of Summer ("5SOS5", fifth place), Editors ("EBM", six) and Von Wegen Lisbeth ("EZ Aquarii", eleven) are other top newcomers. "The hit titan Bernhard Brink, who is celebrating his 50th stage anniversary this year, joins his colleague Roland Kaiser ("Perspectives", four) in ninth place," GfK said on the Official German Charts.

A trio made up of the German rapper Luciano, the Brit Aitch and the American BIA is clearly ahead in the singles charts. With their collaboration "Bamba" they replaced Nina Chuba ("Wildberry Lillet", two). Oscar winner Sam Smith and German-born Kim Petras ("Unholy") took fourth place as the second highest-grossing newcomers. "Awake at night" by Miksu, Macloud
