German Chart Comments - Issue Date 18.11

(Rihanna's has definitely found the love at the top, while it's better late than never for Udo)

It's a third non-consecutive week at the top for Rihanna in Germany as her "We Found Love" sticks to the #1. The top three is steady as a whole, with both Aura Dione's "Geronimo" and Taio Cruz's (drinking hymn) "Hangover" keeping their positions. 

The highest new entry comes in at #4, belonging to German legend Udo Lindenberg. "Cello" is the second single taken from Udo's current MTV Unplugged album after "Ein Herz kann man nicht reparieren" reached #11. "Cello" marks the most successful song of Udo in Germany (at least in terms of peak positions) in his now 40-year long career. And the fact that he collaborates with hot young acts (on this one with Clueso - "Cello" is also a new best for him) may have helped for the veteran to reach younger audience and thus to find himself in the upper reaches of the German singles chart again after "Sonderzug nach Pankow" reached #5 in 1983. 

As Germans are definitely into dance music this year, the latest single of Swedish producer Avicii storms the countdown at #6. "Levels" comes after Leona Lewis' "Collide" (whose music belongs to Avicci) was not allowed to chart in Germany in order to prevent her from having a complete flop. Avicii, active for three years now, has been known for some time in the dance charts, but this is the first time he has a major hit on his account. The song, which samples "Something's Got a Hold On Me" of Etta James, arrives just several weeks prior to Flo Rida's take on the classic, which is also based on Avicii's music and is already promising to be a monster hit.

Meanwhile Adele's "Someone Like You" registers a new peak at #5, as do David Guetta's "Without You" at #7 and Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" at #10.

After hovering for weeks in the top 20 of the download charts, Bruno Mars' amazing "Marry You" is finally allowed to chart in the official listings. The song enters at #16 and becomes Bruno's fourth single as a lead artist to reach the top 20. All we need is a video now, though I doubt that such will appear soon. At the same time, Mars' Twilight single rises to #36 and perhaps will find itself in the top 30 again boosted by the vampire movie hysteria. 

Also new to the top 100 is Culcha Candela's "Hungry Eyes", which with the same formula enters at #18 and becomes the guys' eight hit in the top 20.

At the same time, after the misfire "Noboby's Perfect", Jessie J brings "Domino", her fourth single for Germany, new at #22. The song is her second most successful in the country after "Price Tag" peaked at #3.

After a slow start at #49 last week, Foster The People will eventually add Germany to its list of a worldwide domination as "Pumped Up Kicks" soars to #32 and is shooting towards the top 20 as we speak. 

And the remaining new entries with videos and some info:
#56 Michael Mind Project - Rio De Janeiro - A ninth single for the DJ in the countdown, not among his most successful though.
#67 Hoehner - 6 Bis 8 Stunden Schlaf - Despite that they are most famous with "Viva Colonia", the party kings have had their number one with "Wenn nicht jetzt, wann dann?" in 2008.

The Album Chart

In the album chart the dominance of Udo Lindenberg continues, while the re-issue of Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here" comes in at #4. David Garrett's "Legacy" debuts at #6, followed by the latest soundtrack to the Twilight saga at #8.
