List of the best-selling German-language hits and songs of folk music in Germany
The list of the best-selling German-language hits and songs of folk music in Germany is an overview of all singles of the two genres Schlager and folk music , which has been proven to have sold over a hundred thousand times in Germany alone.
The most successful works are by Fred Bertelmann ( The Laughing Vagabond from 1957), Danyel Gérard ( Butterfly from 1971) and Freddy Quinn ( Homesickness from 1956 and boy, come back soon from 1962). The singles of the performers all sold over two million times. Across all genres, only the singles Something About the Way You Look Tonight / Candle in the Wind 1997 by Elton John (4.5 million), March from the River Kwai by Mitch Miller & His Orchestra (four million) and Time to Say were sold in Germany Goodbye (Con te partirò) from Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman (2.75 million) better. The oldest work of which there is evidence of sales on the German music market was published in February 1954 and comes from the German singer Hans-Arno Simon . Its single Anneliese was sold over 500,000 times on the German market.
Notes on interpreting the statistics listed
This list includes performers whose singles are known to have sold over a hundred thousand times. Sales taxes for publications from 1975 onwards come largely from the BVMI ( Federal Association of the Music Industry ). The BVMI has officially been awarding gold and platinum awards for audio products since January 1, 1975. The record companies concerned must apply for the certifications; the BVMI does not automatically award the awards. Even before 1975, the respective sound carrier manufacturers were awarding record awards, but not according to standardized and officially tested criteria. According to a guideline dated January 1, 1976, the number of rated sales is determined according to the units sold to GEMA or another collecting society of the authors as domestic sales. The information for publications before 1975 comes from reputable journals, specialist literature or from the artist's pages themselves.
The list takes into account all types of singles. The singles can be found in the following table in descending order of their sales and in ascending order according to the year of publication. The table contains information about the performers and titles, the authors (composers and songwriters) and music producers, the year of publication ("year of release"), any record awards received and the amount of sales. The information in the "Sales" column is a minimum number of records sold for the respective work. Since there are fixed award limits for record awards, among other things, the actual sales of the respective sound carriers can be somewhat higher - i.e. between the award-winning and the next award limit.
In addition, music streaming is also included in the sales statistics for singles , but only “premium streams” of the corresponding online music services with a certain “conversion factor” apply . Unlike music albums, singles consider premium streams regardless of the release date. The premium streams determined in this way - which are streamed over 30 seconds - were taken into account with a factor of 100: 1 up to April 5, 2018 and a factor of 200: 1 for singles since April 6, 2018.
Problem
Since the BVMI has only been awarding gold and platinum awards for a large part of the music products on the market since January 1, 1975, singles whose peak was before 1975 do not appear in this list if they are not mentioned in professional journals or specialist literature. In addition, the award is only given to those popular audio and video carriers that have been registered with the BVMI and therefore received gold and / or platinum awards.
Limits to the award of phonograms
Since December 31, 2002, the award limits for singles have been adjusted at irregular intervals. On January 1, 2003, they were initially reduced due to the decreasing sales figures. After the integration of downloads and streaming, the award limits were raised again on June 1, 2014. The awards are based on the respective release date of the sound carrier, not the date of certification. For example, a single that was released in 1980 is now awarded a gold record for over 250,000 units sold, not 200,000.
In Germany there is the special feature that gold records are awarded again between the platinum awards. Only AMPROFON in Mexico also has this award system. Usually there are no further awards between the individual platinum records, until a diamond record is awarded. In Germany these are given out for music albums and singles, all other sound carriers are not awarded diamond records in Germany. In countries such as Poland , the diamond record represents the highest award level. In Germany this is not the case. For example, if a BVMI single receives a diamond award for one million copies sold, but later reaches the 1.2 million mark, the diamond award is replaced by a triple platinum award as the highest award.
