The finetunes catalogue earned four chart-placements in CW42, the most single-week chart positions in the company’s recent history.
German based Kettcar‘s Ich vs. Wir, via Grand Hotel van Cleef, hit #4. Farin Urlaub‘s recent release Berliner Schule, via Völker Hört Die Tonträger, landed at #5. Terrorgruppe’s Superblechdose, via Aggropop-Records / Destiny Records, hit #30 and Trettmann‘s DIY, via SoulForce Records, took the #31 spot.
German indie-pop legends Kettcar celebrate their highest chart position in the band’s long musical career, while Leipzig-based rapper Trettmann continues to perform, entering the chart at #17 on October 6. Both represent significant milestones in the newly-formed collaboration between The Orchard and finetunes.
