Karnevalssongs sind in den deutschen Charts so stark vertreten wie seit Jahren nicht. Mit der "Karnevalsmaus" schaffte es die Bonner Band Druckluft auf Platz eins der Singlecharts, wie GfK Entertainment in Baden-Baden mitteilte.

Overview

  • GfK Entertainment confirms the Bonn brass group has taken the top spot with "Karnevalsmaus," which the band called "an absolute dream" after 17 years together.
  • It is the first carnival band to lead the Official German Single Charts since the Höhner 19 years ago.
  • GfK reports 21 party and Stimmung tracks in the Top 100, the strongest showing for the genre since the 2010 carnival season.
  • Other party entries in the Top 20 include GroßstadtEngel at No. 4, Oimara at No. 7, Mätropolis & DJ Aaron at No. 13, and Breitner at No. 14.
  • Reporting links the song’s hook to a current trend of using 'Maus' as a gender-neutral term of endearment, amplified by Bill and Tom Kaulitz.
