Silbereisen’s New Year’s ‘Schlagerbooom’ Leads Ratings as Future Is Weighed

Production scheduling with the upcoming Schlagerchampions show creates a tight turnaround that could hinder an annual return.

Overview

  • Das Erste aired the live “Silvester-Schlagerbooom 2026 – Die Wunderlichtershow” from Munich’s BMW Park on Dec. 31, 2025, hosted by Florian Silbereisen.
  • AGF figures show 4.55 million viewers and a 25.7% market share, outdrawing ZDF’s “Willkommen 2026” with 2.47 million.
  • The special was revived after a one‑off debut due to strong response, with Silbereisen declaring in advance, “We’re doing it again.”
  • Producers are considering another edition, though reports cite the same production team’s near‑back‑to‑back commitment to live Schlagerchampions in Berlin as a major hurdle.
  • Coverage highlighted both star turns from acts such as Roland Kaiser, Maite Kelly, Howard Carpendale and Samantha Fox, and Silbereisen’s lighthearted riff about his longtime red “lucky” underwear.
