That's because Germany has a long history of listening to and producing music with English lyrics. Barring the schlager genre and hip hop, only a few local mainstream artists sing in German. Our radio stations have always been playing American and British music.It's interesting that so many songs were performed in English rather than German.
I've not heard of Sasha as I don't think she has broken in to the UK market yet. How big a star is she? What amazes me about the UK version of The Masked Singer is that they have some really high profile celebrities taking part.Season 4 of the Masked Singer Germany was won by singer Sasha, posing as the Dinosaur.
Haha, Sasha is a guy Usually spelled "Sascha", it's a short form of Alexander. He's been in the music business since 1997 and has released 7 successful studio albums.I've not heard of Sasha as I don't think she has broken in to the UK market yet. How big a star is she?

Oops, that was embarrassing for me, lol. He's a good singer, it's a shame he's not more widely known in the UK.Haha, Sasha is a guy
That's not entirely true.TMS is still the most watched show of channel ProSieben, but it only has 55 percent of viewers who watched it in its heyday and those heydays are not so long ago.
Market share for total viewers for first two shows of season 5 was 11,3% and 10,7%, while in Covid-Season (season 2) worst share was 12,0%, best was 19,1%. In Covid-Season (season) 2 market share in adults aged 14-49: worst share was 24,6%, best was 36,9%, this season so far: 24,1% twice. Last season (4) market shares in adults aged 14-49 for first two shows: 26,7% and 26,1%.Season 2 was the most-watched season with 4.15 million viewers on average, and that's probably because that season aired during the 1st Covid-Lockdown.
Seasons 3 and 4 averaged 3.3 millions, and the premiere of season 5 gained the same numbers.
The season 2 finale was the most-watched episode with 5.34 millions, but the second most-watched episode had 4.3 millions, so that finale was an outlier.
What's more important is the market share in adults aged 14-49, and according to these numbers, season 5 is still on par with the earlier seasons.
Wikipedia lists seasons 1,2 & 4 premieres live ratings, while seasons 3 &5 are live+3, so if there are not all time shifted numbers available you can compare live ratings. By the way, Wikipedia links all ratings to the source.Wikipedia has slightly different numbers than your list – probably because their numbers are Live+7 ratings, adding viewers who didn't watch the show live, but at a later point.
Still, I don't see a 45 % drop in viewership as you mentioned earlier, especially not in terms of market share. These are still very good numbers – there's hardly any other show that manages to reach a market share of 20 % among adults 14-49.
I don't see any drop by 45 %.Season premieres in million viewers: S1: 2,19 S2: 3,32 S3: 3,33 S4: 3,55 S5: 2,97
Season premieres in market shares: S1: 9,4% S2: 12,0% S3: 12,5% S4: 12,3% S5: 11,3%
Season premieres in market shares in adults aged 14-49: S1: 20,7% S2: 25,3% S3: 25,9% S4: 26,7% S5:24,1%
Like I said before The Masked Singer is still ProSieben's most watched show. It's great but not that uncommon to reach a market share of 20 % among adults 14-49. Here's an overview of shows with more than 20% market share among adults 14-49 within the last seven days:
10/29 RTL aktuell 20,5%
10/27 DFB-Pokal: Borussia Mönchengladbach – FC Bayern München: 26,7%
10/27 Tagesthemen: 22,4%
10/25 RTL aktuell: 20,6%
10/24 Tatort: 26,5%
10/24 Tagesschau: 24,5%
10/23 The Masked Singer: 24,1%
10/23 Tagesschau: 23,3%
Correct, I compared most viewers ever to current viewership, that's the drop I've mentioned. You're right, our discussion is going nowhere. You got your point of view, I got mine. By the way, I was asking if in other countries are less good singers compared to earlier seasons, I didn't intend to go into a ratings discussion. There are a few German ratings forums, so I guess Tellytalk users are not so curious about it.I guess you consider the show's heyday the season 2 finale, which had an abnormally high audience compared to the rest of the season – which I already mentioned earlier.
