Halleluja! Our first hit!!! In March! But better late than never!
The very first DL from 1987 (with only 31 places) had its first hit on June 2nd (Andrés Segovia), but it's not really clear if this list was released on 01.01.1987.
But this is also the DL with the latest hit ever.
Second to that is the DL of 1992, when the first hit came on March 23rd (Jim Joel).
There are 3 other DLs where the first hit of the year didn't came until March:
March 3rd, 2003 (Hardy Amies)
March 20th, 2004 (Queen Juliana)
March 6th, 2007 (Ernest Gallo)
The fastest DL is the DL of 1998, when Helen Wills Moody died right on New Year's Day.
And, of course, not to forget the least successful DL with 40 places and not a single hit: 1991.
So, the D-A-CH-DL is on its way
