German Chart Comments - Issue Date 13.07

Though many have expected the second single of German rapper Cro to top the charts this week, the singer manages to bring "Du" to "only" #2. Thus Cro already has two singles reaching the runner-up slot in his short chart career. This, however, doesn't mean that we do not have a new number one as Swedish singer Lykke Li rises six positions to claim the crown from Die Toten Hosen. "I Follow Rivers" has benefited from the use during the coverage of several sports events and is more famous with its Magician remix rather than the original version. It is also worth noting that Lykke Li is the second Swedish singer to top the countdown in just a month after Loreen's "Euphoria". 

While Gusttavo Lima continues rising with his "Balada" (this week at #11, up from #14), Israeli folk-rock musician Asaf Avidan is also scoring his first ever top 20 single at #17 (up from #44) with "One Day/Reckoning Song". And just as "I Follow Rivers", it's once again not the original version gaining in popularity rather than the Wankelmut edit.

Due to the latest changes in the download rules, next to his #2 new entry Cro can be found with another two songs inside the top 40 - at #24 with "King Of Raop" and at #33 with "Meine Zeit".

The highest non-Cro new entry belongs to Pitbull, who this time has teamed up with superstar Shakira. "Get It Started" is the follow-up to Pitbull's "Back In Time" (peak #5) and enters at #31.

This week also marks the appearance for the first time of UK smash "Hot Right Now" in the top 50. The DJ Fresh/Rita Ora collaboration rises to #38 from #55.

The Album Chart

With Linkin Park spending a second week on top, it's only Blackmore's Night's latest LP "A Knight In York" to enter directly in the top 10 at #8. It's only the second album of Ritchie Blackmore's band to enter the top 10 in Germany.
