Taylor Swift's Patient Zero has stormed straight to No. 1 on the Official German Singles Chart — her fourth German chart-topper — ending Shakira and Burna Boy's 13-week "Dai Dai" reign at the summit.

The German chart story
According to the GfK KW40 figures released on October 2, 2026 via osna.fm, "Patient Zero" opens at No. 1 in Germany. The debut ends the remarkable 13-week run of Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" at the summit, which now slips to No. 2. If you need a refresher on the song it displaced, here are the full Dai Dai lyrics.
Swift's dominance runs deeper than the top spot, with fellow Encore tracks crowding the German Top 20 as well. "Cleveland!" lands at No. 13, "Pink Clouding" at No. 15 and "Babylon" at No. 16, while "The Fate Of Ophelia" holds at No. 10 — meaning a full quarter of the German Top 20 belongs to Swift this week. For the words behind the new chart-topper, see the Patient Zero lyrics.
The album chart tells a similar story: the expanded edition of The Life of a Showgirl, featuring four new songs, vaults from No. 21 to No. 6. Also new in the German Top 5 this week are Hugel, Imael Angel & Ultra Naté's "Movin' to the Sun" at No. 3 and Die Toten Hosen's "Was ist mit uns los" at No. 4.
A European sweep
Germany is only part of the picture. Wikipedia's "Patient Zero" chart table additionally confirms No. 1 debuts in Germany (GfK), the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia — a genuine multi-country chart sweep. That continental takeover stands apart from the earlier Taylor Swift's UK chart double story, which focused on her British chart feat.
