It's Pietro Lombardi who calls his name for a second week atop the German singles chart. And, thanks to the #2-#14 collapse of DSDS's runner-up Sarah Engels, Jennifer Lopez' "On The Floor" and Snoop Dogg's "Sweat" manage to rebound a position to #2 and #3, respectively.

Moving around the new #5 peak of LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem", we are left with the highest new entry of the week at #6. Football anthems are not that common for the upper reaches of the German charts but now it seems their time has arrived. The honour goes to German symphonic band Krypteria, who together with Der BVB-Jahrhundertchor recorded the hymn of local champion Borussia Dortmund. By entering at #6, the title becomes the second highest charting hit of Krypteria, next to the #3 peak of "Liberatio" in 2005. The group is of course more famous for its albums than its singles.
So, the next new entry comes a position behind, where reunited "boy" band Blue bring their Eurovision entry "I Can". And it seems that though Germans did not award the song with their highest points, this week they like it most. In comparison, the Austrian entry, which attracted the biggest vote from Germany, enters at #71. But returning to Blue, "I Can" (neglecting the bloody awful performance in Düsseldorf) is a good return to form for the guys, who can now boast their fifth top ten single in Germany, with "Sorry Seems To The Hardest Word" being the most successful by hitting #3.
In the top 20, as it is the custom now, new peaks by Adele's "Set Fire To The Rain" at #13 and Jupiter Jones, whose "Still" is still in the top 20, this week at #15.

The Eurovision impact continues to be felt as Lena's "Taken By A Stranger" soars #33 - #16 to return to the top 20, while the rendition of her last-year winning song "Satellite" by Stefan Raab (the one and only!) enters at #24. Stefan already has several number ones under his name, so no new feats here.
At #23 Lady Gaga is finally allowed to chart in Germany with "Judas". It has been written so much over the release pattern of her latest singles, so I think there is not much to be said. And, ignoring the new entry of "Edge Of Glory", yet another song from her second album at #28, "Judas" is Gaga's first proper release to fail to enter the German top 10. But let's not write her off so soon, shall we?
New entries in the top 50 also from Juli at #35, whose "Süchtig" is one of their best releases, a surprising catchy dance entry by the band, and at #37 by Swedish House Mafia, whose "Save The World" becomes their biggest hit in Germany so far.

Two peaks worth mentioning this week - at #31 VIVA favourite's Frida Gold bring their "Wovon sollen wir träumen" closer to the top 30, while at #49 Bob Sinclar's excellent "Far l'amore" makes it to the top 50 after a slow entry at #64 last week.

And let's not forget Paradise Oskar, who represented Finland at the Eurovision contest. His song "Da Da Dam" may have not attracted many votes at the final but was actually one of the best out there. Its placement at #46 in Germany proves it!
The remaining new entries with videos:
#54 R.I.O. - Miss Sunshine - Oh, the melody is so familiar....
#67 Martin Solveig feat. Kele - Ready 2 Go - Overshadowed by the continuing success of "Hello", this week #18, it still has its chances in the weeks to come...
#71 Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love - The Austrian entry in Eurovision, a beautiful ballad actually...
#75 J. Williams feat. Dane Rumble - Takes Me Higher
#92 Pitbull - Bon Bon - and why it is released just weeks after "Give Me Everything" is beyond my knowledge...
The Album Chart
The LP countdown is this week ruled by rapper Bushido, another "VIVA favourite", whose "Jenseits von Gut und Böse" becomes the singer's third album to score the summit position after "7" and "Heavy Metal Payback". Thus, surprisingly, Söhne Mannheims, one of the heavy weights in terms of album chart power, have to make do with the runner-up spot with their new album "Barrikaden von Eden".
Two new entries also at #10 and #11, with Moby's "Destroyed" and Kate Bush's "Director's Cut" bringing fresh/refreshed power to the German charts.
