Every German #1 single of the 1990s

[VoR]

Some Youtuber has kindly put together a compilation of this. I always find it interesting to see what songs were big in different countries - as you'd expect there is some truly glorious shite here.

 

[Alla]

There's also an 80s one that I watched this week. A few great songs and then it's shit after shit. Michael Jackson without a single number one says it all.

 

[VoR]

That's a good point. No MJ number one until Earth Song kinda says it all

 

[VoR]

Rather poor showing for Madonna too, on an 80s (and 90s) tip...

I guess she couldn't crack through all those MODERN TALKING smashes

 

[straightorbroken]

That video is false, everyone knows this has been the reigning number 1 in Germany since 1996:



And there's plenty more where that came from

 

[VoR]

Sorry, I've really fallen down a wormhole with this.

2003-2004 was quite a time. I'm instantly obsessed with apparent homosexual anthem TAKE ME TONIGHT by Alexander.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I watched both said videos. It's hard to judge the shit based on 10 seconds and being so familiar with OUR absolute shit. Having said all that the very early 80s look atrocious in places. Did I see OLIVER ONIONS? Also they had their own version of the Birdie Song.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Also a group called 'Earth and Fire'.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

A 5 week #1 song called the The Nipple. It's hilarious if you like dated German innuendo.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That 80s list is very... white.

 

[Zu]

Multiple highlights to be found here obviously, but I’m especially liking ‘Conquest of Paradise’ being number 1 for ELEVEN weeks

Vangelis UP!

Daniel K (who I recall from the time) is missing presumes dead as of 2018.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever heard the ludicrous ‘Tears Don’t Lie’ before

Oh I know it from the time. It appeared on the rave tapes all the cool boys had.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

If memory serves well, Mel C had a number 1 hit in Germany with "First Day of My Life".

I LOVE Blumchen and her FAST-FORWARD school disco tracks.

This HIT is quite excellent as well:

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

The fact that Rednex had three number one hits boggles the mind.

 

[VoR]

I legitimately love 'Spirit of the Hawk'.

 

[VoR]

God, I used to be obsessed with this one back in high school too. It was absolutely massive over there when I went to Germany on a history trip.

 

[Alla]

Are those non related tags even funny? Thread after thread, I hope it's just the same unwell poster. It's tiresome

This HIT is quite excellent as well:

Every day is karneval for Blümchen. I'm surprised they (or just she?) didn't get more of a push in the UK after Aqua, because what an act to hitch a ride on and be even more bat-shit.

 

[Shirley]

I've got it on CD from the days when I'd buy anything for 49p. It's awful but kind of compelling

Just imagine if they were out on the street and not on moopy.

Tag police!

alla online fraud - she's the tagger!

Who knows

 

[sewerynsven]

Ofra Haza, Sandra and Kylie my fav from 80s

I genuinely miss the days when the likes of No Angels and Jeanette reigned supreme.

I was obsessed with that song and watched the German version of Popstars religiously.

Speaking of Blümchen: Her best song was obviously Herz and Herz:

The first half of that Was a trip up memory land. We only had german music tv in our uni flat for some reason so I recognise those classics from viva music
