With more than USD 28m in the German box office and counting, "Ted", the feature-length project of Seth MacFarlane has definitely turned into a smash hit in the country. One of the best bits in it was the the Thunder Buddies song, which, altered with electro rhythms, is used as a basis for the "Donnersong" of Brisby & Jingles ft. DJ D.M.H.. The song in question enters this week at #25 and you can listen it your own risk with the following link.

"Wie wir waren" is the third single of Unheilig's latest album ("Lichter der Stadt") and this week enters the German top 100 at #32. The collaboration with Andreas Bourani follows the #2 peak of "So wie du warst" and the #31 one of "Lichter der Stadt". Not a bad entry for a third single from a multi-selling LP.
