German Chart Comments - Issue Date 19.10

Korean sensation Psy has to be content with only a week (for now) at the top of the German singles chart as Adele's Bond theme debuts this week directly at #1. Thus "Skyfall" becomes Adele's second number one in Germany next to "Rolling In The Deep" and her fourth top ten single. In terms of James Bond songs, the two previous Craig entries Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" and Alicia Keys/Jack White's "Another Way To Die" peaked at #15 and at #8, respectively.

Thus Psy dances his "Gangnam Style" at #2, while the second new entry comes in at #3. "Altes Fieber" is the second single from Die Toten Hosen's extremely successful album "Ballast der Republik" and arrives after number one smash "Tage wie diese".

At #4 Robbie Williams once again cements his status as a superstar in Germany as his newest "Candy" arrives in the upper reaches of the countdown. Still, all pilot singles from Robbie's previous three albums hit the top spot, which "Candy" would probably fail to do. This is Robbie's 13th top ten single in the country.

Just outside the top 10 and after a performance on Wetten das, Jennifer Lopez' "Dance Again" finds some last inner strength and shoots this week from #70 to #14.

There is also a new peak from Emeli Sandé's "Read All About It (Part III)" at #18, up from #35, while Flo Rida's (right) new single "I Cry" soars fifty positions to #20 becoming his eighth top 20 song in Germany. Unofficial single "Let It Roll" reached #24 several weeks ago and this week can be located at #47.

Maroon 5's US number one "One More Night" is also finding its way up the chart and this week climbs to #22 from #45. It's also a new peak for Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child" at #25, up from #27.

The comeback single of Christina Aguilera "Your Body" can be found at #29, while her previous official single "Not Myself Tonight" made it to #25 but disappeared quickly from the chart. And for now Christina's gold period from 2002 to 2007 seems a long forgotten story.

Also a new entry this week, but with a greater potential, is Bruno Mars' "Locked Out Of Heaven" at #31. It's the pilot single from Bruno's sophomore album, so all eyes will be set on it in the weeks to come.

Further down the chart Rita Ora's "R.I.P." registers a new peak at #36 (up from #44), while Silbermond's "Ja" is also on the rise at #38, up from #48.

The Album Chart
