Ten years after its release, Helene Fischer's hit "Atemlos durch die Nacht" has made it to number one in the German singles charts for the first time in a new version. This was announced by GfK Entertainment on Friday.

The pop singer re-recorded the song together with rapper Shirin David to mark the anniversary.

According to GfK Entertainment, the Schlager classic released in 2013 was one of the most successful chart hits ever with 118 weeks, but has so far only made it to number three.

Beating the Christmas classics

It's already very Christmassy in the next places in the singles charts: Wham! are in second place with their evergreen "Last Christmas", followed by Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" (third place) and Shakin' Stevens' "Merry Christmas Everyone" (fifth). The best new entry is achieved by Yakary ("Sonnenbank.mp3", four).

Casper took the top spot in the album charts with "nur liebe, immer.". It is already the rapper's sixth number one album, as GfK Entertainment reported. The Rolling Stones ("Hackney Diamonds") improved from six to two. Kontra K ("Die Hoffnung klaut mir niemand") is third ahead of his rap colleague Badmómzjay ("Survival Mode", four) and the South Korean boy group Stray-Kids ("Rock-Star", five).
