Sommer hit 2024: Who will be the new king of German charts?

Baden-Baden is awaiting the announcement of this year's summer hit in Germany, which is announced today. The market researchers of GfK Entertainment are working on choosing artists and songs that emerged as the official summer hit. It's a moment that music lovers and chart fans are excited alike.

In recent years, the search for a clear summer hit has often been a difficult undertaking. Two years ago, for example, the summer hit "Layla" by DJ Robin & Schürze emerged at the end of July. This year, however, the situation looks a little different because there is no clearly dominating hit.

traditions and new trends

Tradition stipulates that the summer hit often comes from comparatively unknown interpreters. In the case of Shirin David, her chart hit “Bauch legs Po” could not be nominated, despite his great popularity. However, this unwritten rule has been brittle several times in the past: Ed Sheeran also won the title with "Bad Habits" in 2021, even though he is anything but an unknown artist.

The far -reaching summer hits include catchy tunes such as “Macarena” from 1996 or “Despacito”, which stormed the charts in 2017. These memories of forgotten summer years are put to the test of current talents who hope to get this coveted title.

A hot candidate for the Summer Hit 2024 is the song “I like the way you kiss me” by Artemas. With this catchy electronic piece, which became popular due to its presence on Tikok, the British music producer created a real catchy tune. Sentimality and the urge to flow into each other after infectious sound.

Another contender is the “Move” track of the Berlin DJs Adam Port together with Stryv and the collective of no music. Summer sounds like the gentle sounds of Ibiza or the hustle and bustle of a Burning-Man festival in this title. The combination of an unmistakable beat and summer melodies arouses the desire for freedom and celebrations under the radiant sunshine.

also in the narrower selection is “Pedro”, a reinterpretation of the iconic Italo disco classic by Raffaella Carrà, which celebrated its premiere in 1980. Jaxomy and Agatino Romero have teamed up to dress this nostalgic hit in a modern robe. Raffaella Carrà, who died in 2021, remains present with her music.
