German Chart Comments - Issue Date 14.10

Marlon Roudette's "New Age" seems to be unmovable from the summit of the German singles chart as it stands there for a seventh consecutive week, followed yet again by Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger". The top three is rounded up by Sean Paul's "Got 2 Luv U", which advances three positions from #6. The song thus manages to match the #3 peak of Paul's first major hit "Get Busy" from 2003.

This week's countdowns is fully marked by the Bundesvision song contest from two weeks ago and therefore winner Tim Bendzko succeeds in having the highest new entry with "Wenn Worte meine Sprache wären" at #5. This is the second single of the German newcomer to go in the charts after "Nur noch kurz die Welt retten", which slowly but steadily turned into one of the biggest hits of the year in the country and this week stands pretty at #10.

Also thanks to the Bundesvision, Glasperlenspiel's "Echt" soars nine positions and enters the top 10 at #9 for the first time since its release. At #32 Frida Gold bring their NRW entry for the competition "Unsere Liebe ist aus Gold". At the same time, Bosse's proposal "Frankfurt Oder" skyrockets to #35 from #63, turning easily into the most successful single of the German singer.

The Bundesvision news continues at #44, where runner-up Flo Mega arrives with "Zurück", his first ever single to scrap the top 100, while also new to the charts are Kraftklub and their "Ich will nicht nach Berlin", which comes in at #45. 

At #47 Andreas Bourani's Bundesvion entry "Eisberg" rises from #58, while Thees Uhlmann's "Laichen und Sterben ziehen die Lachse den Fluss hinauf" advances to #52 from #79. 

Let's return to the top 20 now as the second biggest new entry belongs to Seeed and their double single "Molotov / Wonderful Life" at #12. It's the third top 20 single of Peter Fox and co., coming after the #5 peak of "Ding" in 2006. 

Also new to the countdown is Adele at #16. After the mega success of "Rolling in The Deep" and "Set Fire To the Rain", "Someone Like You" is the third single taken from Adele's "21" multiplatinum LP to enter the charts. Unlike UK and USA, though, for the time being it seems that the single won't be able to conquer the top, which is understandable having in mind that everyone owns the album now. 

This week also sees Lady Gaga having her second ever single to miss the top 10 as "You and I" arrives at #21. The single fares better only compared to the #23 peak of underrated "Judas" from earlier this year.

The #23 position witnesses the first collaboration of German rappers Bushido and Sido, who, once enemies,  have now decided to bury the hatchet and form a joint project under the name of 23 (and it arrives at #23, is this just coincidence?). I just wonder if "So mach ich es" is getting any VIVA/MTV rotation now...

Schlager veteran Jürgen Drews, who had his only #1 hit back in 1976, returns to the chart this week at #25 with "Wenn die Wunderkerzen brennen". During his resurrected chart career, Jürgen Drews had a major hit in the face of "Ich bau dir ein Schloss", which entered the top 10 in 2009. 

The Twilight mania is gearing up as we speak and is already having its impact on the charts. This time around, the lead single from the OST of Breaking Down I, the latest part of the vampire love saga, is sung by Bruno Mars. Thus, even without a video, "It Will Rain" comes in at #30. It is the first Bruno Mars-led single to miss the top ten though and I wonder why "Marry You" did not get a release in Germany prior to it. 

And the remaining new entries with videos and some info:

59. Jupiter Jones - Immerfürimmer - The follow-up of enormously popular "Still" didn't quite set the charts on fire, despite also being part of the Bundesvision contest.
60. Jennifer Rostock - Ich kann nicht mehr - Also taken from the Bundesvision line-up, it's the second single of the band to miss the top 50.
93. Rasmus Seebach - Calling (Nighthawk) - It's the first single of the Danish singer to enter the charts. With no big effect though...

The Album Chart

For yet another week, the German LP chart sees a new album on top of it. This time it belongs to Andrea Berg. "Abenteuer" is the sixth!!! album of the schlager star to top the chart in just eight years. Udo Lindenberg's "MTV Unplugged" keeps steady at #2, while last week's champion "Wir sind am Leben" by Rosenstolz retreats to #3. Reamonn's singer Rea Garvey brings his solo album "Can't Stand The Silence" straight in at #4, while Canadian singer Feist has her "Metals" LP new at #6. Also new to the top 10 are Austrian volksmusic treasure Kastelruther Spatzen, whose nth album "Hand auf's Herz" goes in at #8.
