#swr1 hitparade

[juliaandthephantoms]

Ich sag ja immer gern "je besser die AfD Wahlergebnisse, desto weiter vorne is Schrei nach Liebe in der Hitparade" aber: die Realität hitted dann doch, wie viele dieses Jahr tatsächlich AfD gewählt haben, wenn Schrei nach Liebe immer noch ned lief 💀

me, usually: yeah i love music, love listening to it in the background, or to fall asleep, or on my way to work

me, once a year for one week in October: I WILL LITERALLY LOSE IT IF I DON'T LISTEN TO MUSIC 24/7

IT'S SWR1 HITPARADE TIME BABEYYYY

[karin-gespenst]

bei der Arbeit nicht Radio hören können ist normalerweise ok.

Aber während der SWR1 Hitparade ist es fies. Nach Feierabend kann ich noch die Top 20 mitbekommen und dann ist schon wieder vorbei.

Und ja, nachhören ist möglich, aber es ist nicht dasselbe.

Meine Vorhersage: Bohemian Rhapsody wird wieder Nummer 1.

I saw your posts about the sw1 hitparade and mentioned it to my dad, who spent a lot of his life in Germany (esp around Württemburg) and misses it a ton, and I sent him that link to it. and now I'm hearing him in the living room listening to it while doing his homework for wildflower painting class (which usually makes him mad at himself for being new to watercolors) and he's like actually giggling in delight and having So Much Fun. thank u for spreading the good swr1 hitparade word 😔🙏

oh that is so lovely, thank you for sharing! the credit here absolutely goes to @all-chickens-are-trans who made all the posts and put me on the swr1 BaWü Hitparade, while I was only a swr1 RLP Hitparade listener before :D

IT'S THIS TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN, PEOPLE.

the best chart show of all time

okay this is for @necroissants who asked what the SWR1 Hitparade is, and i've decided to reply like this because i love talking about this and will take every opportunity to do so.

idk why i'm doing this in english but this is chaotic enough for all of tumblr, so...

SWR1 Hitparade is a chart show, hosted by a radio station in south west germany, that's based completely on audience votes. it's been on since 1989 and has since become an annual event. voting starts in october and the songs are played the last week of october (this year it's from 24th-28th). they play around the clock and only interrupt the show for ads and for the hourly news cast (or for, like, traffic emergencies). that means they usually play more than 1000 songs.

the best thing: ANYONE can vote for ANYTHING. which means, if you're in, idk, australia, you can vote. everyone has 5 votes, and you have to vote strategically, because your #1 song gets 5 points from your vote, your #2 song gets 4 points, and so on.

but when i say you can vote for anything, i do mean ANYTHING. old classic? obscure jazz? pop song from your childhood? joke song? all fair game!

... of course, that doesn't mean that your obscure jazz fave will be played or even in the top 2000 songs (that's the number of songs on the list they published last year). but what it does mean: the most batshit absurd, entertaining chart show with amazing music.

highlights:

if it gets enough votes, they'll play a certain song several times, because the regular/live/unplugged/cover versions all count as different songs. (looking at you, hotel california)

songs that usually get a shorter version to play on radio, or don't get played on radio at all because of their length, get played full-length. that means all the dire straits, deep purple, ac/dc, metallica, and pink floyd songs that are 10 minutes or longer get played. yes, even pink floyd's shine on you crazy diamond. full length. 26 minutes. and jethro tull's full 44 minutes of thick as a brick.

(that's one of the reasons this program is really loved by classic rock fans)

but you can get anything in there! helene fischer, pink, die toten hosen, sting, snow patrol, elton john, die ärzte, zaz, udo lindenberg, udo jürgens, katie melua, johnny cash, whitney houston, linkin park, twisted sister, aretha franklin, britney spears... literally anything... nathan evans' version of the wellerman song made it into the top 20 last year!

most hilarious consequence of this (for me) was a couple of years ago when they played stern des südens by fc bayern united, followed immediately by bayern by die toten hosen. comedy at its finest!

they also play like. biene maja. and karl der käfer. and there's a song, about one-and-a-half minutes long, sung by an animated monkey and horse, singing about bananas and oats. it's a cult classic. it always makes it into the top 10.

also: i really wish more people knew about this but as a consequence of how fucking regional this still is, there are several songs that are INCREDIBLY south (west) german... mir im süden by füenf, das badnerlied AND das württemberger lied (both regional hymns from, like, the 19th century), oinr isch emmr dr arsch by schwoißfuaß...

the top 10 stay mostly unchanged most of the time. the battle for top 1 has been largely fought out between bohemian rhapsody and stairway to heaven for years now. (queen's been #1 steadily since the movie came out but it's always pretty close, and before the movie there was a long reign of led zeppelin.)

there's always surprises, though! last year abba's don't shut me down (which had only been released about 4 weeks before voting started!) came in at #9!

as with many things, i've only come to really apprecciate this since i've moved out of sw germany, but i know it's a HUGE deal for many families there... and for some years, now, for me, too. there are stories about people basically not sleeping because they wait for their favourite song... because you have never experienced FOMO until you've stayed up til 1am, only to wake up the following morning to realise they've played one of the songs you voted for twenty minutes later.

it's completely unhinged. it's amazing. it's one of the highlights of my year.
