After a relatively busy few weeks, the German singles market has once again come to a hold as we have only three new entries and dozens of songs keeping their positions from last Friday.
Thus, Alexandra Stan marks a sixth week on the top with her "Mr. Saxobeat", while Tim Bendzko and Don Omar & Lucenzo once again round up the top three.
In its 19th week in the countdown DJ Antoine vs. Timatti's dance anthem "Welcome to St. Tropez" enters the top five for a first time, peaking at #4 this week.
Just outside the top 10 former UK-number one "Don´t wanna go home" by Jason Derulo rises by only a slot but still makes a new peak at #12.
A position below, new German star Casper brings his first single to the top 100. "So perfekt" comes hot on the success of Casper's debut album which reached #1 several weeks ago. Though a different music genre, the good performance of Casper, next to that of Tim Bendzko and Andreas Bourani, clearly shows that male solo artists performing in German are definitely on demand this year.
After "Run the World (Girls)", the first single from Beyonce's current album "4", was not allowed to chart in Germany (probably to avoid the registry of a complete flop in the chart archive), "Best thing I never had", the second offering, enters at #29. Though the better single, its performance is still a far cry from the mega success of previous hits such as "Halo" (peak #5) and "If I Were A Boy" (peak #3). Perhaps something has gone wrong with her material this time around...
A peak worth mentioning can be found at #33, belonging to dance project Milk & Sugar. Having in mind the slow climbing of dance hits in 2011, could we expect that "Hi-a ma (Pata pata)" will be in the top 10 in three months time?
The other new entry is at #64 in the shape of "Damage is done" by Dante "Miss California" Thomas. After his most famous hit reached number one in 2001, it is still strange, and all the same pleasant, to see the US singer having top 100 singles in Germany - a feat many one-hit wonders may only be envy of...
Oh, and let's not forget that last week's new entry of "Wie weit wir gehen" by Broilers at #28 has completely vanished from the countdown. It would have been a record, if "Harter Weg", the band's first ever single to chart several months ago, has not done exactly the same... What is the problem here?
The Album Chart
In the album chart veteran German rapper Samy Deluxe succeeds in scoring his first ever number one album, as "SchwarzWeiss" arrives straight at the summit. All his three previous studio albums have reached the top three. Amy Winehouse's "Back in Black" occupies once the #2, while German band Jennifer Rostock's "Mit Haut und Haar" comes new at #4, a position behind Adele's "21".
