List of number one hits in Germany (1989)

This list contains all number one hits in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1989. There were nine number one singles and eleven number one albums that year. This year there was a German-speaking leader.

The single and album charts were compiled weekly by Media Control and each comprised 100 characters. They reflect the sale of physical sound carriers (vinyl and CD). The radio use of the pieces was also used to determine the positions 51 to 100. The sales within a week (Monday to Saturday) were evaluated. The official publication and dating of the charts took place on Monday three weeks after the end of the survey period.
