German Chart Comments - Issue Date 5.10

Many have expected the latest single of Lena to top the chart as it was leading on the major download charts but as the countdown is based on revenues and not on the actual number of sold copies, we have Asaf Avidan's "One Day" returning to the #1 slot for a seventh non-consecutive week.

Thus Lena enters at #2 with "Stardust". This is the second hit of Lena to reach #2 after "Taken By A Stranger", while her "Satellire" topped the countdown in 2010.

The top three is completed by last week's #1 - Marteria and "Lila Wolken".

This week dance project Klangkarussell and its "Sonnentanz" expectedly makes it into the top 10 at #8, up from #19.
Video

Even more expectedly, Psy's worldwide smash "Gangnam Style" shoots itself to #9 from #25 in its second week on the list.
Video

It's also a new peak at #11 for Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen's increasingly catchy "Good Times" (up from #14).

The second highest new entry is a welcome return in the upper reaches of the chart for Schiller. "Sonne", a collaboration with Unheilig, comes in at #12, turning into Schiller's fifth top 20 hit. And curiously his most successful in terms of peak positions.

Another dance act is finding considerable success lately. Fritz Kalkbrenner, most famous for his "Sky and Sand" track, is back on the chart with "Get A Life" at #22.

Flo Rida's "Let It Roll" finds itself this week at #24, up from #32, while the next new entry comes from Alicia Keys. Her "Girl On Fire" enters at #32, following the #35 peak of "Empire State of Mind (Part II)". Alicia was last in the top 10 in 2009 with "Doesn’t Mean Anything".

After reports of declining ratings (and judge Lucy quick enough to come after the finish with her girlfriend in the Bulgarian VIP Brother), the winners of this year's Popstars contests Melouria enter the top 100 at the disappointing #37. It's by far the worst debut of any Popstars winners in the chart, though the last few had only managed to score only one single before disappearing from the music scene completely. "How Do You Do!" is of course cover of Roxette's classic, which reached #2 in 1992.

Slowly but steadily Maroon 5 are climbing up the chart with "One More Night", which rises to #42 from #56, after the #4 success of "Payphone". It's the ninth single of the band to reach the top 50.

And finally, at #49 Lana Del Rey follows her #4 single "Summertime Sadness" with the H&M promotional cover of "Blue Velvet".

#52 Lena - Time

#74 Ich Kann Fliegen - Mich Kann Nur Liebe Retten

#92 Fler - Nummer 1

Also new to the top 10 are "En Garde" of Haudegen at #5 and "Nieder mit der GBR" of  Blumentopf at #6.
