Locals at the top of the charts
For the first time in the history of the Swiss hit parade, national artists topped the annual music charts in 2018. In the singles chart, no one was more successful than the duo Lo & Leduc with "079".
Lo & Leduc's song entered the singles charts in February at position 39, improved steadily and reached number one in March. It stayed there for 21 weeks and set a new all-time record: No other song has been placed at the top more often than "079".
"Schnupf, Schnaps + Edelwyss" by Trauffer topped the Swiss album charts for six weeks. The album was in the charts for a total of 47 weeks - and took the top position in the 2018 annual charts.
The two acts were presented with a Number 1 Award by GfK Entertainment. It honors national artists whose album or single tops the Swiss charts. The hit parade in Switzerland is determined by the German company GfK Entertainment on behalf of IFPI Switzerland.
