German chart comments - Issue date - 7.10.2011

The same old age on top of the German singles hitparade with Marlon Roudette's "New Age" standing there for a sixth week in a row. Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" continues to occupy the second place, while Rio's club hit "Turn This Club Around" is once again at #3.

Inside the top ten, new peaks of David Guetta's "Titanium" and Sean Paul's "Got 2 Luv U" at #5 and #6, respectively, while following the exposure related to Bundesvision (aka the German Eurovision in which all states participate), several entries in the competition enjoy an increased interest by music buyers. Thus, Glasperlenspiel's (excellent) "Echt" returns in the top 20 and this week stands at #18, while Bosse's "Frankfurt Oder", which won the sympathies of many during the contest, re-enters at #63. Furthermore, despite that they won close-to-zero points on Thursday, Andreas Bourani's Eisberg enters the countdown at #58, while Juli's "Du Lügst So Schön" is new at #67. Juli have had much better days in the chart, while this is Andreas' second single after his debut "Nur in meinem Kopf" was met with incredible success earlier this year and is still in the top 50. As the current chart covers the period before the actual competition took place in Cologne, expect the next issues to be fully affected by Bundesvision. Winner Tim Bendzko is also expected to set the top 20 on fire.

Speaking of Tim Bendzko, I've already written in the blog for the increasing interest in German music sung by male singers, with the latest proof coming in at #21. The highest new entry of the week belongs to Philipp Poisel, who after two failed attempts manages to have his first ever top 30 single in Germany. "Eiserner Steg" also benefits from the inclusion in the soundtrack of (you guessed it) "What A Man".

At #30 we have Pixie Lott returning to the chart with her debut single "Mama Do". I guess the re-entry, which marks a peak position for the single, is related to a performance on the telly...

Five positions behind Pixie, Austrian superstar DJ Ötzi has done it again - has taken a well-known hit by a fellow home artist, recovered it and has made it a bigger hit. It's, thankfully, not as big as "Ein Stern" was, but is still good enough for the DJ (I know this is an overstatement) to have yet another top 50 single. The song in question is "I sing a Liad für dich", first performed by newcomer Andreas Gabalier, whose version has clocked up more than a year in the Austrian charts, but in Germany this week reaches its peak at #60. It's not that I'm a fan of the genre, but the original is much much better.

And the remaining new entries with videos and some info:

#55 - Abigail & DJ Rebel feat. The Gibson Brothers - Cuba (up from #86)
#73 - Cascada - Au revoir - It comes after the #13 peak of "San Francisco", but I suppose Germans have had enough of Cascada's unoriginality for the time being.
#80 - Bruce Berger - Die ganz ganz ganz grosse Liebe - Following the trend of releasing singles from successful German films, this single comes hot from the soundtrack of "Männerherzen und die ganz ganz große Liebe"
#98 - Christopher S. feat. Max Urban - Star - It's a first entry for the Swiss DJ, who obviously wants to follow the footsteps of his homie DJ Antoine.

The Album Chart

Not breaking the trend set from the last weeks, the storm of new albums in the LP chart continues. This week it's time for Rosenstolz to claim the summit with "Wir sind am Leben" - the duo's fifth number one album. In the top ten we can find new entries also by Subway To Sally's "Schwarz in Schwarz" at #4,  Machine Head's "Unto The Locust" at #5, Blink 182's "Neighborhoods" at #6 and "Discovery" - a special box set of Pink Floyd's albums at #9. Speaking of Pink Floyd, their released legendary album "The Dark Side Of The Moon" arrives at #3, while Nirvana's "Nevermind" also returns to the charts at #8.
