(Bruno Mars catches a digital grenade)
Mr. Bruno Mars has to finally retreat from the top of the German singles chart as his "Grenade" slips to #2. It's all thanks to the unstoppable Lady Gaga, whose "Born This Way" flies #5 to #1 to become her fourth number one in the country next to "Poker Face", "Bad Romance" and "Paparazzi". Not only that, but "Born This Way" becomes the first single in Germany to reach the top spot on digital sales only - a new era has definitely started.
At #3 Sunrise Avenue's excellent "Hollywood Hills" reaches a new peak (and it's because of songs like this being hits in Germany that I enjoy so much the country's chart). At #7, after a slow, several-month climb, French DJ Martin Solveig finally can say hello from the inside of the top ten.
The highest new entry can be found at #12, coming from Enrique Iglesias. "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" has already been massive around the world, and even in the USA, so now it's time for Germans to welcome the song in the top 20. It also marks the 12th year in which the Spanish heartthrob is conquering the charts, though still lacking the #1 spot in Germany. And yes, VIVA is playing the "F*ck" version of the song, isn't this just splendid...?
Next up is Usher, whose "More" charts new at #17. The song, which in many countries suffered from the lack of video when first entered the countdowns, succeeds to become the seventh top 20 single of the US star in Germany. It follows hot on the heels of the smash "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love", which reached #5 several months ago.
At #30 Beth Dito, the singer of Gossip, brings her first solo single in the chart. Apart from Gossip's monster "Heavy Cross", who we all know is the longest running single in the German singles chart ever (without going out of the countdown), "I Wrote The Book" becomes only the third Gossip-related song to enter the top 30.
And the remaining new entries with videos:
#32 Jupiter Jones - Still - not a bad entry for the debut single of the German band.
#36 ZAZ - Je Veux - another example that songs in French have their chance for success in Germany.
#39 Bullmeister - Girls Beautiful - the sales of the song are boosted by its use in the latest edition of Germany's Next Topmodel.
#50 Alphaville - Song For No One - The follow-up of ""I Die for You Today" (peak #15) is even a better song. A great comeback!
#51 Edita - The Key - She may have won the first edition of X Factor in Germany, but a superstar she is not.
#64 Marteria - Sekundenschlaf - Yes, no one watches VIVA anymore...
#95 Jenix - Here We Go Again
