German chart comments - Issue date - 25.02.2011

Despite that Bruno Mars stands atop the German singles chart for a second week, all eyes are on returning Lady Gaga, whose first single taken from her second proper album is allowed to chart on downloads alone. Thus "Born This Way" enters with a splash at #2, turning into yet another top three single of the superstar. It still has no video, so promotion is not so big right now, but chances for it to become number one in the weeks ahead are definitely not slim. And I think now, with the increasing "on air on sale" policy, videos should be released faster.

The second highest new entry belongs to Natalia Kills at #10. Listening to the song, it is more than clear that the British newcomer has been paying attention to all Gaga has released so far and thus has managed to bring "Mirrors" straight in to the top ten.

Quite a better new entry, however, can be found at #18, where Finnish band Sunrise Avenue return to the countdown with the brand new "Hollywood Hills". The guys are most famous in Germany with the top-three hit "Fairytale Gone Bad", and now "Hollywood Hills" deservingly becomes their second single to reach the top 20. And it helps that the song is among the best released in 2011 so far ...

Being still in the top 20, let's not forget that besides congratulating themselves with the best selling album this week, Roxette can also be proud with the #12 peak of lead single "She's Got Nothing On".

Never to underestimate the effect of the Grammy awards (usually extremely boring and pointless for Europe at least), but they have managed to bring the attention to country sensation Lady Antebellum, whose "Need You Now" enters new at #32. It is a good song and quite deserving, albeit late, breakthrough in Germany.
