Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise

 

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UikIByNVL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

 

Chart Run: 90-32-7-4-1-1-1-1|-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-3-9-12-19-32-38-43-49-69-68-71-66-85-77-97-86 [31 wks]

 

Phil Collins spent a total of 11 weeks at number 1 in Germany. He achieved this with only two songs in his long career (including the Genesis era). In The Air Tonight was number 1 in 1981 for 1 week, and Another Day In Paradise 10 weeks long in 1990.

Another Day... climbed to number 1 before Christmas of 1989 and was 6 weeks long at the top of the summit in 1990. By far this was his most successful single in Germany.

Week 7-9 1990

 

Werner Wichtig - Pump Ab Das Bier

 

http://i20.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/e2/5c/7fc4_2.JPG

 

Chart Run: 86-18-1-1-1-2-2-4-10-16-28-30-43-76-96 [15 wks]

 

Mr Werner Wichtig covered Technotronic's first and biggest hit Pump Up The Jam. Question: What drink do Germans love the most? Beer!

And ironically Werner held off the challenge of Technotronic's second single Get Up (Before The Night Is Over) to go to number 1!

Week 10-20 1990

 

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U

 

http://www.spiralfrog.com/sfimages/covers/pop/cov200/drc800/c829/c82960568gj.jpg

 

Chart Run: 24-6-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-4-4-5-7-12-14-20-25-30-36-42-46-46-69-56-85-77-95-79 [32 wks]

 

Sinead O'Connor's biggest hit ever. Nothing Compares 2 U was number 1 in several countries in 1990, also in Germany for 11 weeks! Interestingly Sinead had one more single, The Emperor's New Clothes in the same year. That song peaked at number 28.

Week 21-36 1990

 

Matthias Reim - Verdammt Ich Lieb' Dich

 

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41TSR82A2ZL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

 

Chart Run: 82-30-10-7-5-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-5-7-10-13-14-19-20-26-34-36-48-50-67-64-80-80-80-57 [40 wks]

 

Verdammt Ich Lieb' Dich (Dammit I love you) is the second longest running number 1 of the German charts history with 16 weeks. Only Boney M - Rivers Of Babylon was longer at the top (17 weeks).

 

This was Matthias Reim's first single and what a way to start a singing career, the song kept from number 1 some big hits: Alannah Myles - Black Velvet, Guru Josh - Infinity (4 weeks long number 2), Adamski - Killer, Snap! - Oops up (9 weeks long number 2).

 

Matthias Reim has had never again a number 1 hit.

Week 37-43 1990

 

DNA & Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner

 

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s157362.jpg

 

Chart Run: 22-13-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-5-5-7-11-12-15-27-27-31-36-57-69-68-94-88 [27 wks]

 

Suzanne Vega's only single that charted in the German singles chart. DNA covered Vega's a cappella song in 1990 and was one of that year's biggest hits. It was 7 weeks long at number 1 and ironically hindered Matthias Reim's next single to become his second number 1.

Londonbeat - I've Been Thinking About You

 

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BXD04SCQL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

 

Chart Run: 43-38-4-3-2-1-1-2-2-2-3-3-3-6-7-7-8-13-15-18-30-43-47-54-54-57-66-63-83-79-76-55-73-71-74-65-75-71-73-63-78-71-74-77-81-80 [46 wks]

 

With two top 10 singles (one number 1 single) Londonbeat were rather a band of the 90s although they tried to come back in 2003 but with less success. Where Are U peaked at number 54.

I've Been Thinking About You is 'til now their biggest and most known song. It was 2 weeks long at number 1 in Germany.

Enigma - Sadeness

 

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XG30BQEQL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

 

Chart Run: 92-8-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-6-11-12-18-24-31-43-66-82-84-99 [27 wks]

 

After debuting at number 92 Sadeness from Enigma jumped to number 8 the following week. But this was not the biggest jump ion the history of the German chart infact it was only the 10th biggest jump.*NSYNC (Here We Go) and Pharao (There Is A Star) hold the title for highest movers both jumped 90 places up.

Sadeness is Enigma's only number 1 hit surprisingly, Return To Innocence peaked only at number 5 in Germany.

Good idea Ben :thumbup: Perhaps if you also post the year-end chart will be great and people will see where each of the number ones have charted ;)

As regards Matthias Reim and Verdammt, Ich Lieb' Dich, it may be quite cheesy but Verdammt, I like it a lot :lol:

  • Author
just a minor correction, its spelled Sadness ;)

 

what are the Nsync and Pharao runs?

Well, I thought it's Sadness too, but if you look at the cover, it says Sadeness. I checked also on Amazon and other sites, and I could find only with an "e" so you might be wrong. :o

 

*NSYNC - Here We Go

Chart Run: 99-9-11-8-11-13-16-21-28-33-52-57 [12 wks]

 

Pharao - There Is A Star

Chart Run: 30-98-8-10-9-9-13-10-13-13-20-27-33-44-48-77-100 [17 wks]

 

I can remember on the big jump of *NSYNC but Pharao's run is really strange!

Thanks YanBG. I will post the other years too. I thought about the yearend charts, maybe separately but I have to find them first. Has someone an idea where to find them?

wow, so few No.1's! that 16 week long No.1 is like a bad Eurovision song :lol:

I've found the yearend top 5 of 1990:

 

1. Matthias Reim - Verdammt Ich Lieb Dich

2. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing compared 2 U

3. DNA & Suzanne Vega- Tom's Diner

4. Snap - The Power

5. UB40 - Kingston Town

ok that Werner track is awful! Cant believe it blocked Technotronic off the top! Bad germans!

 

And that Pharao chartrun seems to take the 2nd week "fall" and 3rd week "climb" rule in Germany to the extreme

I've found the yearend top 5 of 1990:

 

1. Matthias Reim - Verdammt Ich Lieb Dich

2. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing compared 2 U

3. DNA & Suzanne Vega- Tom's Diner

4. Snap - The Power

5. UB40 - Kingston Town

You can be right, I found it on the Chart Surfer site but there were no explanation of wether is it based on points system or sales :wacko:
