Shakira has two (Laundry Service, Sale El Sol) Adele has two (21, 25) Madonna has three (True Blue, Immaculate Collection, Confessions on a Dance Floor) And technically Fergie has two as well as part of the Black Eyed Peas (The Beginning, The E.N.D.)

ASIB didn't make top 3 and Shallow didn't go #1. ASIB might've pushed even beyond that but we will not know because Germany is lazy with certifications. Saturday Night Fever, which sold over 1.5M copies in just two years after its release, hasn't been certified again since 1978 It probably already sold another million copies since then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine people skipping it honestly. it's shorter than 30 seconds, so spotify doesn't count the streams Spoiler unless something weird happens and you stay more than 30 secs on the track, but I am not 100% sure of this second part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem here is that the German certification company is run by the same company that represents the German music industry as a whole. It's not an unbiased party, especially considering that it's only international artists that suffer endless certification droughts. Locals get their songs certified really fast. The German music industry is horrible tbh because everything is a total mystery and run by a single company Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany is a little behind, honestly. I remember back in the day you had to sign songs up in order for them to chart. Interscope didn't do it for Judas when it initially came out and thus it only debuted in the top 25 two weeks later (even though it would have easily debuted in the top 10).
