German Chart Comments - Issue Date 20.01

The holiday season is definitely behind us as we have a new German chart worth talking about. It's however still Gotye's show as his "Somebody That I Used To Know" remains on top for a fourth week.

At #2 Brazilian star Michel Teló continues his assault on the chart as his "Ai se eu te pego!" rises from #5 and just may turn into a new number one next week.

Former chart topper "Video Games" by Lana Del Rey slips this week one and rounds up the top three.

This week sees also the impact of The Voice of Germany, the new casting show for music "stars", as the performances in it were allowed to chart. They also triggered hefty interest in some of the original versions, which was enough for Philipp Poisel to have his first major hit in the Germany and also to write some chart history. Poisel's "Eiserner Steg", which debuted in the countdown at #21 at the start of October, vanished relatively fast before re-entering the top 100 last week at #100. However, after being performed by Benny Fiedler on the show, the single shoots itself this week to #4, registering a climb of 96 positions, which is certainly the highest ever climb on record in Germany. At the same time, Fiedler's version comes in at #25.

Inside the top ten, new peak positions are achieved by Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts" at #6 (up from #14) and by Taio Cruz's "Troublemaker" at #7 (up from #13). The latter becomes the fifth, out of six, top ten single of Taio Cruz, who has turned into a great star in Germany. 

The highest new entry belongs to Culcha Candela. "Wildes Ding", the second single from the band's "Flätrate" LP, enters at #12 and thus improves on the #18 peak of the pilot "Hungry Eyes". It's also Culcha Candela's tenth top 20 single.

At #20 we have a re-entry of "Ich kenne nichts (das so schön ist wie du)" of RZA feat. Xavier Naidoo, which was also performed on the Voice of Germany. Originally the song reached #1 in 2003.

Further down the top 30, DJ Antoine's "Ma Chérie" continues its slow but steady climb just like "Welcome to St. Tropes" before that and is this week at #21. A position behind the Swiss DJ, The Bosshoss' "Don't Gimme That" registers a new peak by rising from #31. It's also good to see the amazing "The A Team" of Ed Sheeran advancing after a slow start and this week and entering the top 30 for the first time at #26.
