EL RESURGIMIENTO COMERCIAL DE APACHE 207.

Image
  El artista alemán comenzó su boom en las listas alemanas en 2019. Tras la continuación en 2020 con su primer álbum de estudio, Treppenhaus , tuvo un 2021 y 2022 algo más discretos. Sin embargo, hoy se sitúa en la cima de la lista de singles con la canción que ha batido el récord de semanas en el primer puesto: Komet , con Udo Lindenberg. Para empezar con este repaso del éxito comercial de Apache 207, debemos situarnos en 2019 , cuando tuvo sus primeras entradas en lista. La primera fue Kein Problem , que alcanzó el puesto número 17 en la lista alemana. A este le sucedieron tres sencillos más que rondaron el top 50. A finales de agosto de ese año, se lanzó Roller , que marcó su primer número 1 y que hoy supera los 100 millones de visitas de Youtube. El hit ha estado hasta hace poco en el top 50 de Spotify Alemania, pese a haberse publicado hace más de tres años. Roller supuso un antes y un después para Apache 207 y comenzó así su escalada comercial: El tema 200 km/h alcanzó el n

ÁLVARO SOLER GOES EDM IN 'SOLO PARA TI' (FEATURING TOPIC).

Some weeks ago, Spanish-German singer shared his new single, Solo Para Ti , featuring the German EDM-producer and Dj, Topic. The collaboration comes after the producer success in 2020 , who scored top 10 hits in almost every European country, like the UK, Germany or Belgium with Breaking me and the follow-up Your Love .  Solo para ti is a simple dance song with some acoustic guitar arranges that remind us that Álvaro Soler is on the track.  The lyrics are really generic and similar to other EDM songs (pretending to be personal but not that much)  and that's maybe the magic of it, the key that could make it work in the charts of many European countries. Because his latest era, Magia ,  hasn't made the same numbers as its predecessors ( La Cintura and Sofía have more than 200 million streams on Spotify, while Magia, the lead-single and album title, hasn't reached 30 million yet, despite peaking on number 28 on the German Singles Chart, almost matching Sofía (which peaked

GERMAN TOP 10 SINGLE CHARTS (14th AUGUST 2020)

Image
 Last Friday , German music charts were updated . There are three new entries in this week's top 10 and a new number one.  I have been observing German top 10 single chart for over a year now and it is usually full of local trap or hip-hop , in its majority (but american rappers also seem  to have success there, such as Gunna ,Travis Scott or DaBaby and Roddy Rich , with their song Rockstar . It is not only hip-hop , Ava Max's Sweet but Psycho was number one (I think) for a few weeks ) and these genres (or  artists) are very prolific, they usually release singles with little time between one and the next one (Last year Capital Bra and Samra released a few collaborative singles and all entered, in their first week, on the top 10) . This also leads to falls of a few places in the charts the following week to its release.  Germany is also a good precursor of the songs that are going to become huge worldwide or , at least, in Europe . For example , this happened with Topic's B
