Paramore, Brand New Eyes returns to German charts
Published on 08/25/2026 at 07:45 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Paramore are once again finding chart traction in Germany with their catalog. According to the German Official Charts database, the album Brand New Eyes, originally released in 2009, has reappeared in German chart overviews in 2026 alongside the band’s later works.
Catalog momentum in German charts
For German listeners, the key anchor is Paramore’s sustained presence in the country’s album rankings. The Official Charts entry for the self-titled album Paramore shows a peak at number 8 in April 2013 and a four-week run, while Brand New Eyes originally peaked at number 7 after its 2009 release, underscoring long-term catalog appeal in the German market.Offizielle Deutsche Charts overview
In parallel, international coverage highlights that Brand New Eyes has returned to multiple UK sales rankings nearly two years after it last appeared there, signaling a broader European resurgence of the record that aligns with renewed attention around the band’s touring and award activity.Forbes report on Brand New Eyes
Summer 2026: completed German shows
The renewed chart buzz comes shortly after Paramore’s compact European leg in June 2026. A detailed independent tour calendar for 2026 lists two sold-out nights at Live Music Hall in Cologne on June 10 and 11, 2026, followed by a sold-out show at Tempodrom in Berlin on June 15, giving German fans three mid-size hall shows rather than a larger arena run.tour overview for 2026
Those German dates were embedded in a wider June routing that included Milan’s Alcatraz, a slot at We Love Green Festival in Paris, a club night at Paradiso in Amsterdam and an appearance at Best Kept Secret Festival in the Netherlands, plus shows in Copenhagen, London, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin.

The musical core of This Is Why
Paramore’s current catalog attention sits alongside their most recent studio album, This Is Why. The record, released on February 10, 2023 through Atlantic Records, is the band’s sixth studio album and marked their final full-length for the label, bringing guitarist Taylor York, drummer Zac Farro and vocalist Hayley Williams into a tightened, post-punk-driven sound.album profile for This Is Why
The album’s ten tracks, including the singles This Is Why, The News, C’est Comme Ça and Running Out of Time, lean on angular guitar lines, sharp rhythmic breaks and Williams’s precise vocal phrasing. With a running time of around 36 minutes, the record distills the band’s shift from pop-punk roots toward a more hybrid alternative and post-punk sound.
Where Paramore stand now
As of late August 2026, publicly visible tour listings and the band’s official communications do not show any future Paramore live date beyond the completed June 2026 European leg, leaving the group currently without an officially announced upcoming concert while their catalog, including Brand New Eyes, continues to chart.
