German chart comments - Issue date - 19.08.2011

The domination of Alexandra Stan in Germany continues for yet another, actually seventh week, as "Mr. Saxobeat" remains the dance anthem of top choice in the country. However, the reign of the Romanian singer is most certain to come to an end next week as Don Omar's "Danza Kuduro" intensifies its competition by rising to #2 and most probably will claim the number one title next Friday.

The highest new entry at #8 belongs to the man of the moment (perhaps the biggest commercially successful DJ and dance producer over the last few years?) David Guetta. "Titanium" is the third offering of David's latest album (to be released on 26 August) and comes only six weeks after "Little Bad Girl" entered the countdown. As it is a tradition now, the song still has no video but that doesn't stop it from becoming Guetta's ninth top ten single in Germany. I think that if he releases all songs from his LP in this way he would make a record of top ten singles in the country... This week "Little Bad Girl" is at #10, while "Where Them Girls At" can be found at #26. We should also not forget Guetta's involvement in Snoop Dogg's "Sweat", which occupies the 19th position.

Two new peaks worth mentioning in the top 20 by Jason Derulo's "Don't Wanna Go Home" at #11 (up from #12) and of Bag Raiders' "Way Back Home" at #17 (up from #19).

The second highest new entry arrives at #19 in the form of the way too American "I'm Into You", the second single from Jennifer Lopez's current album. The song comes after J.Lo. made the world dance lambada again (or sort of) with "On The Floor" (this week at #7), which is already a frontrunner for the number one slot on the year-end chart. If you ask me "I'm Into You", with the support of Lil Wayne, has no flava to be a smash hit in Germany and its belated release doesn't help either. 

After the success of Bag Raiders, Gypsy & The Cat, another act from Australia, also finds its place in the top 100. The energizing "Jona Vark" comes new at #27, its sales also boosted by the music use on VIVA's spots. It's not that someone watches VIVA anymore (it's forbidden here in Bulgaria, but that's another matter). Last time around, the MTV-owned music channel used The Naked And Famous' "Young Blood", which reached #30 at the start of the year.   

Following the relatively poor performance of "Gebt alles" (peak #31), "Tanz", the second single of Cassandra Steen's newest album, manages a little bit better by entering (surprisingly) at #28. 

The German presence in the countdown is backed up by the new entry of Klee's "Willst du bei mir bleiben?" at #29. The single, taken from the band's fourth album, reaches the same peak as "Zwei Herzen", the best performing single of the Cologne-group from 2008.

A special note also to Martin Solveig's "Ready 2 Go", which like predecessor "Hello", is slowly month after month burning its way up the chart and this week makes a new peak at #45.

The Album Chart
So Amy Winehouse has actually made it, three weeks after her "Back To Black" album returned to the top three of the charts, it managed to overcome the schlager and German rap competition and to reach the summit once again after its initial success back in 2008. The only new entry in the top 10 comes at #8 in the face of "In Waves", the latest album of US trash metal band Trivium.
