The band "Die Toten Hosen" recorded also songs in english language! For example: "All for the sake of love" < great song! And: You should definitily check out the music videos by "Electric Callboy" - like "We Got The Moves", "Hypa Hypa" or "Everytime we touch" ...! ♥
My favorite from this list is definitely Oomph with Augen auf. You should listen to the whole song. Turning a rhyme from a kids game into a metal song, soo genius 🤯😁
Keep in mind that this appears to be by Spotify plays and not record sales, so there is an obvious bias for newer songs and for the bands that younger people would like (that's why German "charts" today are generally 100% Hip Hop even if not everyone listens to or even knows these rappers). I'm pretty sure The Scorpions and Rammstein would top that easily, just in terms of total sales over their careers. 6:35 I think most Germans have no idea who Helloween were but they are credited as the first ever Power Metal band, so I assume people (from all over the world) find them like I did: looking into the origins of the genre and giving it a listen (and then maybe liking it). 7:55 At least in Metal, there is very little music from Germany that is in German. That is usually a thing either for Black Metal or for Folk/Medieval Metal/Rock. The latter is probably for a similar reason that we have German drinking songs: you're meant to sing along.
Because a lot of things fell under the table... It wasn't until the late 70s and early 80s that truly German music emerged with German lyrics, which developed independently from the Anglo-Saxon-American dominance in rock music. Punk was the trigger here. To put it briefly, a large number of bands emerged that processed German lyrics and combined different rock music. This was then called the “New German Wave” (NDW). For example, it was so dominant that I only noticed Depeche Mode in 1982, after their second studio album (!). The entire genre of the NDW is completely lost here. Not even Nena, who took a second place in the US Billboard charts with "99 red Ballons", appears here...
Top 50 in this video just means most viewed on spotify. For example Die Toten Hosen have so much more better songs then Wannsee. You should try their older songs. And I think, Tokio Hotel was much more successfull with the german versions of their songs, cause many foreigners wants to learn german because of them, when they were big back in the days.
I'm not sure you are correct. Yes, creator of video put Spotify streams number next to song. But numbers went up and down. So i believe it is still a personal list.
Yeah, as others already said, this is kinda a "bad list", since many great and old bands are missing. Germany was/is still a big place for both rock/metal music and brought legendary bands. As example there are the "Big 4" of german/teutonic trash Metal (Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Tankard), which were kinda like the Big 4 trash metal bands from US (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath and Anthrax). Oomph are the same genre as Rammstein ("Neue Deutsche Härte")
Rammstein and Scorpions are really really big, not just in Germany, but international.
Eskimo Callboy, now Electric Callboy have aktuell Sold out concerts all over the World. And very funny Videos to their Songs.
