German Chart Comments - Issue Date 23.12

It's a third consecutive week for Lana Del Rey and her "Video Games" atop the German singles chart. At #2, perhaps her biggest challenger currently, Belgian-Australian singer Gotye, moves up four with his increasingly catchy "Somebody That I Used To Know". Taio Cruz' "Hangover" slips one to #3 and rounds up the top three this week. 

In a relatively slow week, some movements worth mentioning inside the top 20 are the 13-11 rise of David Guetta's "Titanium", which finally has a video in what is the song's 19th week in the top 100. Christina Perri's "Jar Of Hearts" storms the top 20 as "Jar Of Hearts" deservingly soars 22-13. At the same time Coldplay's "Paradise" finds a new wind under its wings and rises 23-14. 

At #31 we have a re-entry by Andreas Bourani's "Nur in meinem Kopf". Perhaps he sang the single (peak #16) on TV? 

The biggest new entry of the week could be found at #42 as Casper, one of the most successful newcomers for 2011 on the German music scene, arrives with his second single "Auf und davon". The song is taken from Casper's #1 album "XOXO". 

At #46 Gypsy & The Cat follow their top 30 single "Jona Vark" with "Time To Wander", while the somewhat rushed release of Taio Cruz' next single "Troublemaker" has to deal with the 51 position. Perhaps more alcohol-themed songs would have served the star better. 

The extremely active Nena and The Bosshoss (blame Voice of Germany for that) bring their take on Nat King Cole's "L.O.V.E" at #76. The song features on the soundtrack of local comedy "Rubbeldiekatz".

T-Pain has never been popular in Germany, so there should be no surprised as the rapper's "5 O'Clock" stumbles at #91. (It is actually his first appearance as a lead singer in the countdown.) The same could not be said for Söhne Mannheims, whose "Für dich" enters at #98, cementing the current oblivion status of one of the most popular German bands over the last few years.

The Album Chart

Once again Udo Lindenberg reclaims the top position in the album chart as last week's champion Rammstein slide to #4. Adele's "21" is at #2 and Michael Bublé's extremely successful "Christmas" rises to #3. The highest new entry belongs to X Factor winner David Pfeffer and his debut album "I Mind" at #20. I just wonder how Germans manage to record the albums so fast, here in Bulgaria we have to wait at least three months for our winner to release anything....
