It was expected over the last few weeks and now becomes a fact, Rihanna has scored her fourth number one in Germany with "Diamonds" (up from #2). The single thus joins the elite club of RiRi's #1s which also includes "Umbrella", "Don't Stop The Music" and "We Found Love". And we should also add to the list her guest appearance on Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie"

After its subdued debut, "Ja", the newest single of Silbermond, has finally reached the top 20 (up to #18 from #26). The third single from the band's "Himmel auf" album significantly outperforms previous one "FdsmH (Für dich schlägt mein Herz)" (peak #53) but still has a long path to reach the #5 peak of "Himmel auf".

The highest new entry comes in the form of the comeback single of Ke$ha. "Die Young" enters at #20, turning into the fourth song of the US star to register a top 20 position. She had a number one single with "Tik Tok" in 2009.

Further down the countdown, "Einmal um die Welt", the third official single of 2012's sensation Cro shoots itself from #74 to #30. Also on the rise is Taio Cruz' latest "Fast Car", which advances to #41 from #55 and is on its way to prove how big is Cruz in Germany. His previous "World in Our Hands" was one of the hits of the summer and peaked at #4. At the same time, "Numb", Usher's follow-up to hit single "Scream" (peak #17), rises 21 positions and enters the top 50 at #48. Curiously all singles with Usher as a lead singer in Germany have reached the top 50 with the exception of "U-Turn", which fell close at #51.
