Rihanna's reign over Germany's single chart goes on as "Diamonds" spends a ninth week on top, followed by Psy's "Gangnam Style" at #2 (up from #3).

This leaves us to UK newcomer Birdy to stir the top three as her second single "People Help People", used in several commercials, shoots itself from #36 to #3 to become her first ever hit on these shores. In comparison, debut song "Skinny Love", which entered the top 100 after "People Help People" and was far bigger hit in Birdy's home country, has stalled at #79. Of course, Birdy's triumph in the top 100 as well as the good performance of some of the new entries and other acts in the list is attributed to the final of the second edition of The Voice of Germany.

Expectedly, after he was pronounced winner of the show, Nick Howard rises 34 positions with "Unbreakable" and this week can be located at #5. A year ago, "Do You Like What You See", the first single of then winner Ivy Quinoo, debuted at #2.

Although "This Is Love" was a massive success elsewhere in Europe, the single of will.i.am stumbled at #54 in Germany. Thus, the Black Eyed Peas star needed the help of one Britney Spears to score his first ever top 10 single as a lead artist in Germany. "Scream And Shout" enters this week at #10 and is also Britney's 18th top 10 single in the country. She has been absent from the chart since "I Wanna Go" reached #32 in 2011.

At #20 Isabell Schmidt, the runner-up at The Voice Of Germany, moves up thirteen places with her self-written "Heimweh".

After a brief appearance at the low end of the top 100 several weeks ago, following an official release Sido re-enters the chart with his newest single "Bilder im Kopf" at #22. The rapper was last in the chart solo with "Geboren um frei zu sein", peak #41, in 2011, while together with B-Tight he had "Hol doch die Polizei" reaching #58 earlier in 2012.

As Nelly Furtado supported one of the finalists of The Voice Of Germany, it is not strange to see her latest single arriving at #26. A standard fare for Nelly, "Waiting For The Night" comes after "Spirit Indestructible" (peak #23) and "Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)" (peak #43). The latest album of the singer is still to produce a top ten single.

Coming also after an appearance at The Voice, Leona Lewis finally debuts with her newest single "Trouble" in Germany. The song enters the top 100 at #27, with the last single of Leona in the chart being "I Got You", peak at #43, in 2010. As those familiar with the chart know, Leona's "Trouble" from 2011 was such a flop that the record company banned it from even appearing in the countdown.

The impact of another casting show can be sensed at #28 where Jean-Michel Aweh brings his first ever single "Raus aus dem Nebel". Aweh is the latest winner of Das Supertalent show. A year earlier Leo Rojas stood two weeks in the chart with his version of "Einsamer Hirte" (peak #48).

Though he also took part in The Voice Of Germany and though "Different" is a better song (if you ask me) than "Candy", the second single of
Robbie Williams' latest album enters this week at #31. "Candy" peaked at #3 earlier in 2012.

And finally, Michael Lane who took the bronze at The Voice, advances with his "Mrs. Lawless" 14 positions to #33.

The Album Chart

Proving that she is one of the most loved German singers currently, though in the schlager music zone, the latest live album/DVD of Helene Fischer debuts directly at #1. The studio version of the album also reached #1 in 2011. At the same time the latest collection of Rammstein's videos (didn't they have one in 2011?) is new at #5.
