German chart comments - Issue date - 16.09.2011

It's a third week in a row for Marlon Roudette on top of the singles chart in Germany, though the competition from Maroon 5's global smash "Moves Like Jagger" is intensifying and the latter moves up to #2 this week. Whether it will be the next number one or like in the UK the song will be destined to be a constant runner-up only the next weeks will tell.

The interest in Sak Noel's " Loca People (What The F**k!)" is also growing and the dance hit advances to #4 this time around. Top three next? 

The highest new entry has been present in the download charts for a while now and has been finally allowed to chart in the official top 100 at #9. It belongs to Sean Paul, who has been absent from the chart since his "Hold My Hand" burned at #60 two years ago. For his new single the star has teamed up with UK newcomer Alexis Jordan (her own "Happiness" reached only #57 in Germany) and thus "Got 2 Luv U" sees him return to form. The single becomes Paul's fourth top ten song in Germany next to "Get Busy" (peak #3), "Baby Boy (#4) and "We Be Burnin’" (#5). (Now "Got 2 Luv U" should only reach #6 to keep this peculiar trend going on).

Further down the top 20, David Guetta's Usher collaboration "Without You" reaches #10 and becomes the n-th top ten single of the uberproducer, while Natalia Kills' "Free" reaches a new peak at #17.

New singles can be found at #21 and at #26. First Lena Meyer-Landrut returns to the countdown after the #2 peak of "Taken by a Stranger". "What A Man", which if you ask me is her least appealing single, is taken from the soundtrack of the German hit movie of the same name. The film is already "responsible" for the number one single for the past three weeks.  "What A Man" is most famous with its version by Salt' N Pepa from 1993, which reached #39 in Germany (by the way, the peak position of the song means that nowadays it would have never been played on Viva for more than two or three weeks - oh, how things change!). Five positions behind Lena, we can find a far more inspired song coming from Bad Meets Evil, aka the group with the Eminem participation. "Lighters" song marks the first appearance of Bad Meets Evil in this chart and kudos also should go to the man of the moment Bruno Mars, who provides the vocals. 
 
Following the #2 peak of her duet with (now boyfriend, the good PR always work) Pietro Lombardi, Sarah Engels has entered the period when she should test the chart waters on her own. Thus "Only For You" enters this week at #33 and we can put money on the fact that it's gonna be out in a week or two. 

The German rap scene continues to show some signs of being alive and this week Fler has brought his latest single at the respectable #38. "Spiegelbild" is the first single from the rapper's new album "Im Bus ganz hinten". 
 
And the remaining new entries with videos and some info:

#63 Luxuslärm - Atemlos - a sixth single of the German group in the top 100 and the sixth to miss the top 50.
Video
#64 Eko Fresh feat. Nino de Angelo - Jenseits von Eden - a brave move for the once famous rapper to make a cover of the famous German number one single from the 80s. Eko Fresh has even invited original singer Nino de Angelo to appear in the song, but with no great success. 
#76 Herbert Grönemeyer - Zu dir - An improvement from the great "Fernweh" (peak #93), the third single taken from Herbert's newest (and quite successful) LP however still charts disappointingly. 
#80 Boy - Little Numbers - It takes a lot of courage to name your music project just Boy, and especially when there are not any boys in it. But anyway, here come the girls, with their first entry in the top 100.
Video
#93 DJ Antoine feat. The Beat Shakers - Ma Cherie - I don't think that a top hit such as "Welcome to St. Tropez" should be followed in this manner...

The Album Chart

Despite that RHCP and David Guetta keep the first two positions for two weeks, a surprising influx of new names can be seen in the top twenty. So take a deep breath, here come the new entries - 

#3 Saltatio Mortis - Sturm aufs Paradies
#5 Eko Fresh - Ekrem 
#6 Marlon Roudette - Matter Fixed
#9 F.R.- Ganz normaler Wahnsinn 
#13 Hubert von Goisern - Entwederundoder
#14 Boy - Mutual Friends 
#16 Melanie C - The Sea

If you didn't recognize many of them, don't worry, you are not the only one.
