🎧 Germany’s Radio Airplay Chart: The Biggest Winners and Movers This Week
Germany’s radio stations continue to embrace an eclectic mix of global pop, dance crossovers and emotional singer-songwriter anthems this week. While several familiar names remain firmly in control of the airwaves, a wave of fast-rising records and surprise re-entries is shaking up the Top 100.
Here’s a full breakdown of the biggest stories from this week’s German radio singles chart.
👑 Alex Warren Holds Strong at No. 1
For another consecutive week, Alex Warren keeps the crown with “Fever Dream”, proving the track’s staying power across German radio formats. The emotional pop anthem continues to dominate thanks to its catchy hook and strong listener engagement.
Right behind him, Bebe Rexha remains stable at No. 2 with “New Religion”, while Taylor Swift climbs into the Top 3 with “Opalite”, overtaking several major competitors.
🚀 Biggest Climbers of the Week
Several songs enjoyed major momentum this week, earning significant jumps on German radio playlists.
🔥 Palm Monkey, Russi & The Palm Tree Boy explode upward
One of the week’s most impressive gains comes from Palm Monkey, Russi & The Palm Tree Boy, whose viral-friendly track “Awgazi” rockets from No. 56 to No. 37. The song’s infectious production and streaming buzz are now clearly translating into strong radio support.
📈 Oliver Heldens scores a massive comeback
Dance music is alive and well on German radio, as Oliver Heldens surges from No. 48 to No. 34 with “Lady (Hear Me Tonight)”. The nostalgic club-inspired single is rapidly becoming a favorite among mainstream stations.

Veteran artists continue to prove their relevance. Robbie Williams climbs from No. 62 to No. 44 with “All My Life”, while Michael Patrick Kelly jumps twenty places to No. 43 with “Traces”.

After gaining momentum last week, OneRepublic pushes even higher as “Need Your Love” climbs from No. 28 to No. 22, becoming one of the fastest-growing international hits on German radio.
🎤 Taylor Swift Dominates Again
Few artists control radio quite like Taylor Swift right now. Besides the Top 3 success of “Opalite”, she also maintains strong airplay with “The Fate Of Ophelia” and “Elizabeth Taylor”.
The multiple entries confirm her unmatched consistency and enormous appeal across European radio markets.
🇩🇪 German Artists Continue to Shine

💥 New Entries Making Noise
Several fresh arrivals debut this week and could become future radio staples.
✨ Lady Gaga returns solo
After already appearing alongside Doechii with “Runway”, Lady Gaga debuts again with the brand-new “Shape Of A Woman” at No. 87. Early support suggests the single could rise quickly in the coming weeks.
🌴 Hugel & Solto bring summer energy
Dance duo Hugel & Solto enter at No. 91 with “Jamaican (Bam Bam)”, adding another tropical-inspired anthem to German radio rotations.
🎸 Rock arrivals add diversity

- Lykke Li – “Lucky Again”
- Clueso – “Immer Wenn Du Nicht Da Bist”
- H.E.A.T – “Set Me On Fire”
These returns highlight how radio programmers continue to revisit audience favorites even after temporary drops.

- emotional pop ballads,
- dance-floor-ready productions,
- international superstar releases,
- and strong domestic German talent.
Artists like Alex Warren, Taylor Swift, Michael Schulte, OneRepublic, and Bebe Rexha are clearly shaping the soundtrack of the moment.
