Looking at the changes on the top of the German singles chart, one thing is sure - the autumn is really coming. So, Lucenzo and Don Omar have to give up the #1, where their "Danza Kuduro" stood for just a week, to lead the way to Marlon Roudette to debut directly at the summit. Marlon who? many would say, but the closer look shows that the man is no stranger to the number one position in Germany as part of UK duo Mattafix he stood there in 2004 with the Europe-wide (UK excluded) smash "Big City Life". "New Age" marks the first solo success of Marlon and the song use in the soundtrack of "What A Man" - a German blockbuster and in some commercials of Pro7 meant that is was destined to be a huge smash. In addition, it's a radio friendly song, which Germans always like. The fact that it is also a good tune also helped.
Thus "Danza Kuduro" steps down to #2, surrounded by new entries as at #3 US band Maroon 5 makes their comeback with aplomb. "Moves Like Jagger" is not only the first top ten single of the group since "This Love" reached #5 in 2004, but is also Maroon 5's biggest successful song in Germany ever. The Jagger hymn also marks the return of Christina Aguilera in the top 3 for the first time since "Hurt" peaked at #2 in 2006.
In quite busy with new entries week, another one can be found at #9. Big things for Spanish DJ Sak Noel were forecast as early as the summer was reaching as peak, so expectedly dance anthem "Loca People (What The F**k!)" shoots directly in the top ten. The song is already a major hit in Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and eastern Europe, and like it or hate it, it's definitely one of the hits of summer 2011.
Over the past weeks I wrote that David Guetta should release all his songs as chart-eligible singles and as it seems his record company has paid attention. This week we have two new entries belonging to him - at #12 his collaboration with Jennifer Hudson "Night Of Your Life" becomes his 13th top 20 song in Germany, while at #84 enters his team-up with Afrojack "Lunar". It would be interesting to see whether other big acts would be able to follow the same release strategy with a success...Oh, and at #7 David's "Titanium" makes a new peak - perhaps it would gain a video soon?
At #20 UK singer Natalia Kills returns to the top 20 with "Free" for the first time after her smash "Mirrors" reached #10, while follow-up "Wonderland" stumbled at #45.
A much better song is on the rise in the mid-twenties, where "Jona Vark" of Gypsy and The Cat is advancing by three slots to peak #22. Hopefully the VIVA anthem will reach the top 20 next.
At #28 "Next To You", Chris Brown's team-up with Justin Bieber turns into the fifth top 30 single for both the rapper and the teen star.
After the somewhat surprising success of Caro Emerald's "A Night Like This" (peak #4), the Dutch singer's follow-up "Stuck" debuts this week at the respectful #41.
Three positions behind, Lenny Kravitz, who this week can congratulate himself with the #1 album, brings his latest single "Stand" in the top 50, up from #69 a week earlier.
And the remaining new entries with videos:
#46 - Doreen - Wie konntest du nur - the ex-Nu Pagadi (remember them?) singer brings another solo single in the countdown. The top 25 however is still out of reach.
#61 - Nicole Scherzinger feat. 50 Cent - Right There - seeing the poor placing of this UK top 3 smash, the decision to not release previous Nicole's singles in Germany was probably a good one. Pussycat Dolls were never that much successful in Germany either...
#72 - Thees Uhlmann - Zum Laichen und sterben ziehen die Lachse den Fluss hinauf - The first single of the German singer to enter the charts. Pls, next time give it a try with a shorter title...
#80 - Haudegen - Zu Hause - Another first top 100 single for a German act.
Video
#98 - Kim Wilde - It's Alright / Sleeping Satellite - Despite Kim's popularity in Germany, her decision to cover two classics was obviously not welcomed well.

The Album Chart
"Black And White America", the 9th studio album of Lenny Kravits becomes the star's first ever number one in Germany, while Adele's "21" falls to #2 and heavy metal band J.B.O.'s "Killeralbum" debuts at #3. In the top ten we have a new entry also at #5 by Daniel Wirtz, the singer of German group Sub7even, and his solo project "Akustik Voodoo".
