Thank you so much for this, 1979 is one of my favourite years ever in music! Tragedy, I Will Survive, The Logical Song, Maybe, & Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! are my personal faves. There are also half a dozen songs that I need to check out because they sound great from the snippet.
Diese Zusammenschnitte absolut der Hammer!!! Ich höre manche Songs die habe ich vor über 38 Jahren das letzte mal gehört.Danke fürs hochladen und zusammen stellen.Ist me Menge Arbeit😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💥😉❤️
Amazing! In ´79 Kiss had a bigger hit than Abba, Queen, Village People, Baccara or AC/DC. In my calculations, *i was made for lovin' you* was 10th biggest hit in Germany in that year
HELLO DJ FRANCIS THANKS FOR SHARING VERY GOOOOOOD THE TOP MUSICAL 1974 FELICITACIONES LE GUSTO MUCHO A MI PADRE GRACIAS TOTALES EL ES DOCTOR Y COMPARTIÓ CON SUS COLEGAS 💃💃💃🤗🤗🤗🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼👏👏👏👏🎤🎧🎵💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much. My step-father died on 14.6.1979 in East-Germany very young when I was 5. I was always wondering which songs he was still able to know / listen.
Fun Fact für alle deutschen Viewer: bei "Das Lied von Manuel" von Manuel & Pony hat damals tatsächlich Anke Engelke mitgesungen 😁. th-cam.com/video/DD2jgQkm9bk/w-d-xo.html
La version allemande de "YMCA" (L.M.A.A) est à se tordre de rire (je crois d'ailleurs que celui qui la chantait était un humoriste connu en Allemagne et que la démarche était donc voulue). Sinon, mes préférés dans ce Top 1979: Queen, Supetramp, Electric Light Orchestra, Suzi Quatro, Status Quo, Manfred Mann, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Dr Feelgood (l'excellente surprise de ce Top), Rocky Sharpe & The Replays, Smokie, The Boomtown Rats. J'aime bien aussi "Gloria" d'Umberto Tozzi (un des rares titres en italien que j'aime écouter).
Le chanteur était Günter Willumeit, un humoriste et dentiste d‘origine prussienne orientale. L‘ abbréviation LMAA veut dire „lèche mon cul“ (les pensées d‘un mari qui est dirigée par son épouse).
Tu as tout à fait raison! Un comédien allemand et c'était par dessein. Pourriez-vous l'écouter plusieurs fois d'ailleurs, jusqu'à ce que cela devienne rapidement ennuyeux (ennuyeux ;))
Thanks for this! I remember at the Sylvester-Party by my Grandma with my first great love Sabine (at this time we both were 9 years) Great Music: Todesengel, Sun of Jamaika, Confusion, etc. Now i have tears in my eyes, because i remember at my first great love! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks as usual! I've been waiting for 11:01, a song that contains everything I could expect from German pop muzik at that time:) I was quite shocked to discover that 16:19 actually made the German chart, because their international career was assumed to be a failure. This song however can't bear comparison to compositions they wrote by themselves and turned them into hits in PL - from folk music to the synthpop.
KISS' "I Was Made For Loving You" was a massive hit in Europe, Australia, Canada, South Africa and Latin America in 1979, and a decent one in their homeland, peaking at #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Great year for the masked men!
So, here we've got one song from Poland 😉 2 plus 1 was a Polish 3-piece act that had split in 1992 after their leader's death. His name was Janusz Kruk, he's "the left one", the other man ("the right one") was Cezary Szlązak and the lady between them is Elżbieta Dmoch, the one and only from them who is alive. That song ("Easy Come, Easy Go") and their other English songs, they were produced by German producers. In Poland they were well known as folk/pop band that switched to electropop in 1983. Nowadays, there is a band called 2 plus 1, that starter as revival of that 70s and 80s band, fronted by Cezary Szlązak from 1997 till his death in 2019, but for 20 years without Elżbieta Dmoch (she quit in 1999).
Again it brings back great memories. Funny to see that classic songs sometimes originally were pretty low in the charts and other were totally forgotten!
Danke für den coolen Zusammenschnitt, aber die Überblendungen zwischen jedem Video mit der D. Flagge sind kognitiver Overkill! Schon mehr als abwechslungsreich, die völlig unterschiedlichen Videos in so kurzer Abfolge zu betrachten. Da hätten Sie jedem Video noch 2 Sekunden mehr Playtime spendieren können, statt den Flaggeneffekt 100x zu bringen.
Some of those Germany only charting songs were pretty cool. Especially the disco ones. So happy to see Kiss went all the way to #1. So sad to see no Cars on this list. "Let's Go" was my personal favorite from 1979.
Wow! Some great songs. German music had its highlights, but too many schlager songs and those random covers. NDW gave it a needed kick up the ass. I know it's not to everyone's taste but 'Bright Eyes' is a wonderful song and a heartbreaking ballad. Glad it was rewarded with a top three position. It was the best selling in the UK that year. Probably the strongest year of the 70s imo. I never knew Mirelle Mathieu sang in German!
One thing I notice in many of these video's is that there is so much German "Schlager". No wonder it took you an age to win at Eurovision and another age to win the second time.
Diese Songs von 1979 hatten damals alles: Energie, "Hitze", Sounds, gute Stimmen, Melodien und Austrahlung. Die heutigen Songs haben zwar noch immer gewisse Energie, aber sind kälter, glattgebügelt, vor allen dingen fehlt das "heisse", das positiv "brennende".. These songs from 1979 had everything : energy, "heat", sounds, good voices, melodies and charisma. Today's songs still have a certain energy, but are colder, ironed out, above all the "hot", the positive "burning" is missing .
Hi, Thanks for this sharing. Helpful for me because I am new comer in Germany, always nice to have a pop culture background of a country. Just one short question: I don't see the massive worldwide hit of Pink Floyd "Another brick in the Wall part II" in the entry of december 1979, this song has entry later? In wikipedia it's mentioned this song was n°1 in Germany and stayed about 34 weeks in the charts. I am looking forward to watching the 80's years now :)
Merci bien! Great 1979 German chart compilation. My pesonal favourite song on this video is "When the Boys Come Home" sung by British girl trio A la Carte. I'll wait for German chart 1980 video. But Germany chart is from 1980 to 1989 Top 75. Then Top 100.
То, что 100% дошло до России в те года это, конечно АВВА, Воney M, Dcshinghis Khan, Ottawan, менее известными были, но всё равно знали, Blondie, Chic, Amanda Lear. А вот Olivia Newton-John для меня открытие.
8:10,13:43 Baccara even though their songs in 1979 didn't get too much big hit in Germany at that time, i love that they still invited in the german shows like ZDF Disco, Musikladen, Hitparade, Starparade, Silvesterparty, seems like genre Disco is fading between '79 and '80 that's why some greats disco songs is in low charts
You better like disco in 1979, which obviously peaked that year, but there's quite a bit even if you consider that a _Tragedy_ or _Don't Like Mondays. (Don't bring me down - Maybe? Whatever you want...)_ A whole bunch of big, classic hits in here to offset the usual share of crap. Runs like 9:30 to 10:00 and 11:13 to 12:00, you just don't see that every day.
Soviele Lieder hier auf Englisch gesungen! Aber gibt es manchmal dahin versionen mänche Lieder, die auf Deutsch gesungen war. So many songs here sung in English! But sometimes there are versions of songs sung in German.
Seen many bands in the famous Glasgow Apollo Theater. I remember seeing Kraftwerk and a band called Neckter they we're a supporting band. Bought there LP still listen to it today,the memories come back I'm 63 now and the music of today is crap🎸🎤👍🍾🐕🎄
Perhaps it is because listeners of bands like Police bought full albums instead of singles. I remember from late 70th that almost everybody around me owned the first two albums as it is was both: A fresh new sound played by excellent musicians. P.S.: I just had a look in Wikipedia and they tell me "Regatta De Blanc" was 80 weeks member of the German album charts with a peak of 16 (#1 in UK). And Police never ever had a #1 hit in Germany (best position #8 with "Every Breath You Take" in 1983) but great positions in the album charts.
I love this! Are you gonna do the 80ties as well in this style? I really hope so, there is a song from a guy/band from the 80ties that I always heard when we went on vacation to Germany in the late 80ties, so I can't wait to hear it again, it sadly wasn't a hit in the Netherlands so i'm left in the dark what the song is. Where do you find all these old charts of Germany?
It is really best that Germans keep doing what they are really good at and leave making music to those nations that are really good in that field. i.e. Britain and the U.S.A.
I thought the German charts only contained song of Destruction and Mayhem..Zank you.. I'm surprised that the truth is much, much, MUCH worse.. (Auf wiedersehen and we won't meet again..)
Did a 3 year tour at Pinder Barracks from Jan77-Jan80. You could listen to AFN Radio all day long or you could go local as they had some decent FM radio stations on the air and German TV had some great music shows. Loved checking out the German department stores as they had their own version of those K-Tel record albums.
Thank you so much for this, 1979 is one of my favourite years ever in music! Tragedy, I Will Survive, The Logical Song, Maybe, & Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! are my personal faves. There are also half a dozen songs that I need to check out because they sound great from the snippet.

The best songs that have lasted over the decades didnt fare well in the german charts!
Casting perals before swine
As an American, I have heard at least 30 of the songs. There was a lot of ABBA and Boney M that year. I was 13 in 1979.
Amazing! In ´79 Kiss had a bigger hit than Abba, Queen, Village People, Baccara or AC/DC. In my calculations, *i was made for lovin' you* was 10th biggest hit in Germany in that year
Gotta love those songs that were originally in English that were translated into German and covered by German singers (usually pretty badly too lol).

It's interesting to see American groups liked abroad.
American music is very popular in Germany since the 1960s! 👍
I loved funk and black music in theses years ... and KISS 🤗 (I was 12 in 1979)
Dónde está Arabesque? Como puede estar LMAA antes que Arabesque?

Beside some exceptions it's pretty clear that the Neue Deutsche Welle was urgently needed.
Весь 1979-й год ШЕДЕВРЫ!!!!!!
Мне было 18 лет - это моя музыка!!!!

Failed completely in the U.K. I think we were either Disco or Punk, with very few exceptions.

One thing I have notice watching these videos, is that there was a prosperous market in German language cover versions going on in the 70s and 80s.
Born To Be Alive is the best of them all.
Again it brings back great memories. Funny to see that classic songs sometimes originally were pretty low in the charts and other were totally forgotten!

Kiss peaked because the song is great

Why dont you make videos before 1975???or at least I cant find them

Wo haben Sie die letzten 45 Jahre gelebt?
1:37 was #1 at my birth. Could have been MUCH worse.
Who searched for the individual song on TH-cam? 😀

@@francispelletier3647 Exactement 😀. But you make a very good retro videos. I like it! ✌️
You don't have to be in the top 10 to be remebered 45 years later.
1979 great musical year, my child 9 years old remember all hits funny party of my sisters and brother.

Long live dschinghis khan the Best group ever
Great work. Good year in music. Disco music was the queen and I love this genre
wow Licht und ganz viel Schatten.... aber ein guter Spiegel der deutschen Hörgewohnheiten a la 1979...
Cuando cantavan de verdad
Does Oliver Onions chart?
"Peak: 30" for Highway to Hell? 😱
I am almost as ashamed of that as I am of the atrocities of WW II.
This was the best Time of my Live 😎😎👍👍👍👍
The Chic girls are so pretty!
Oh my the stuff we listened to in those days

Singel charts ! Da sieht man welcher Müll 1979 gekauft wurde .
what a horrible choice of muzak

Remember many of these while a n American high school student living in West Germany.
Totò - hold the line !
Später wurde die Musik besser. Das ist unmittelbar vor der Neuen deutschen Welle.
Gutes Jahr 😎
Seen many bands in the famous Glasgow Apollo Theater. I remember seeing Kraftwerk and a band called Neckter they we're a supporting band. Bought there LP still listen to it today,the memories come back I'm 63 now and the music of today is crap🎸🎤👍🍾🐕🎄
Thanks For Sharing!
Danke für die VorVarianten Sammlung des DDR.
Swedish charts 1979: Abba from start to finish 👌
Didn't know Kevin Keegan had a carreer in music. The least I can say is that's not what I want to remember hip for.
L.M.A.A. = Y.M.C.A.
1979 the key year. Crossway in music and history. Very funny entries some smelly and cheesy pleased the german audience.
Kevin Keggan! lol
16:31 always makes me cry because of so many memories from the young days...
The Bee gees song gave me goosebumps
Punk and Moroder winz
Herz Aus Glas = Heart Of Glass
"Happy hour" for Germany and euorope
kein punk :-(
das ist gud.
So many songs which are still well known today and some of them didn't even reach high positions in the charts (e. g message in a bottle).
Perhaps it is because listeners of bands like Police bought full albums instead of singles. I remember from late 70th that almost everybody around me owned the first two albums as it is was both: A fresh new sound played by excellent musicians.
P.S.: I just had a look in Wikipedia and they tell me "Regatta De Blanc" was 80 weeks member of the German album charts with a peak of 16 (#1 in UK). And Police never ever had a #1 hit in Germany (best position #8 with "Every Breath You Take" in 1983) but great positions in the album charts.
This should be fun !
no 1 i don t like mondayz
How are these ranked or are they in any order with the stats? Interesting music.
It seems it's by chronological order that they appeared in the charts. The first songs in the video appeared in January and the last in December.
Kevin Keegan :-)
