Germany: Cyril's "Stumblin' In" Is the Most Popular Radio Hit
In Germany's official airplay charts, the 2025 chart year was dominated by Cyril with his hit "Stumblin' In" (Warner). With nearly 40,000 chart points and almost 79,000 plays, the track secured the top position in the annual rankings by a comfortable margin. The song is a well-executed remake of the original by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro, becoming a long-time favourite thanks to its catchy melody and extensive radio support.
With over 15% fewer chart points, "Austin (Boots Stop Workin')" by Dasha (Warner) took second place. The singer captivated a broad audience with her country-inspired pop sound. Narrowly behind, "Belong Together" by Mark Ambor (Universal) rounded off the top three positions.
A further focus in the German radio market lies on the Conservative Pop Airplay Charts, which specifically highlight Schlager music. Here, Beatrice Egli from Switzerland triumphed once again: With her track "Du, Du, Du" (Sony Music), she claimed the annual crown for the third consecutive year, solidifying her status as a Schlager icon.

Europe: Surprises at the Top
The European annual rankings for 2025 demonstrate that continental tastes often differ from regional preferences. "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims topped the charts here – a track that failed to make the top three in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. With powerful vocals and cross-genre appeal, the song dominated airwaves across Europe.
In second place was "Houdini" by Dua Lipa, a track that impressed with its energetic production and the artist's signature style. While Dua Lipa charted in Switzerland with another song ("Training Season"), her greatest success across Europe came with "Houdini".
Third place went to "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone, who rounded off the European podium with chart points similar to the top two.
