The charts are going faster: six new entries inside the Top 20 – three of them coming from Germany . Plus new singles from Example, Snow Patrol and Rea Garvey. Latter one for sure is a German special feature cause the Irish singer is known here as leader of Reamonn who had several hits in the last years most known with Supergirl (2000) and Through The Eyes Of A Child (2008). As a solo star Rea Garvey recieved attention alongside with Jam & Spoon beginning of this century and with Paul van Dyk (end of 2007). Most common became his name for the duet with Nelly Furtado on their hit single All Good Things (Come To An End) which topped the German charts for 6 weeks at the end of 2006. He was mentioned in almost every hit list and in radio airplay although the original radio edit did not feature him at all. Neither did the official CD release. – Anyway, it made him really popular in German speaking countries.
Rea Garvey right now is back in mainstream focus as he will act as a voice coach at upcoming casting show The Voice Of Germany. A few weeks before the show starts his first solo album is in shelves: Can’t Stand The Silence from which the title song is lifted as a single and can enter number 17 in its first week on sale. It is the first real solo single that manages a chart position – so in some way one could call it a debut.
Leipzig DJ Steve Murano finally can hit the charts. He started producing around 2000 launching some club hits but never made it into airplay or real commercial success. One of his bigger hits was his take on Passion an electronic dance track from 1983 released by The Flirts what was a project of Bobby Orlando. The original single made it up to number 4 in Germany. The 2003 version only crept to number 76. It had a much more successfull run in Finland where it could gain number 20.
In 2011 people seem ready for another rework. Steve Murano took his 2003 version back on his table and edited a new Twenty Eleven version that is available since May this year. It took the track a long time to catch fire, now it enters the German sales charts for the first time at 81. The 2011 bundle includes a Rico Bernasconi-Mix also > find all mixes here

Version 2003
The new Twenty Eleven Mix
X Factor fever in Germany. Two girls (Sophie and Yvonne) calling themselves Itchy Feet sang Empire State Of Mind – a surprise for the three judges. The girls will be back at the show, Alicia Keys meanwhile did so in the German chart. Her version of the song enters at number 66 which is the 40th week inside the German list. The original recorded by JAY-Z + Alicia Keys is in the list at 97 in its 65th week.

It is given, that next Bundesvision Song Contest will have even more impact than the X Factor season. Some of the contestants are already in the charts as they are Doreen and Thees Uhlmann. Joining the club now are Glasperlenspiel at 13 and BOSSE featuring Anna Loos at 75. The latter will perform for Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) although only Axel Bosse is from there, exactly from Braunschweig. His duetting partner is known as actress and new lead singer of Silly having her home in Brandenburg. Even their song is queer in its best way as they sing about the triste Brandeburgian town Frankfurt Oder. Will they attract both the northern and the eastern audience by doing so?
Another TV-related group is JAMATAMI. The band is featured by teeny channel Toggo TV where the band appears with its diary-soap. The album made it up to number 38 in July – now a single was launched additionally. Ma-Ya-Hi is exactly what it sounds like. A cover of the O-Zone trash hit Dragostea Din Tea from 2004. Who actually needs another version of that track – I really don’t know … Ask music managers at RTLII!
A last anomaly: Irish singer enya re-enters the list with Only Time after 10th anniversary of 9/11. It was the track that was used as background for news about the terror attacks and became a huge commercial success standing six weeks at Number 1 in Germany alone. It became the signature song of the attacks and nobody really wonders that 10 years later the track can gain some new popularity.
Three Strong German Starts: Rosenstolz, Lindenberg, Glasperlenspiel
German pop duo Rosenstolz (Rose’s Pride) is back. New single Wir sind am Leben (We Are Alive) advertises their 11th album scheduled for 23rd September. The last three albums went number 1 – the first single of the last one Gib mir Sonne (Give Me Sun) was the first nr.1 single for the band. Now the new lift starts almost similarly spectacular. Though the competition is hard right now. Marlon Roudette spends a 4th week at number 1 with New Age followed by MAROON 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera and Moves Like Jagger. So Rosenstolz lands at number 3. It is a little less than the first singles of both predecessors. Well – it means nothing so far.
Wir sind am Leben is the 25th charting single of the band and the 11th cracking the Top 10. Though it is only the third single reaching number 3 or higher. After 20 years in business Rosenstolz still is on the way of becoming a really big German band.
Wir sind am Leben is a lyrical pop song talking about the courage of being curious for the joy of life. One of the main questions is: you have to live your life now! It can be read as an autobiographical story . Singer Peter Plate suffered from a burnout breakdown in 2009 and had to pause for more than a year. For the 20th anniversary of the band he is back in great shape.
Second German new entry comes from an artist who in exactly one week celebrates an exactly 30year long chart career. It is Udo Lindenberg who started making music 1969. His first solo album dates back to 1971. Back in the 70s he was a star as well selling albums in large quantitites. He released four top 10 albums. His first single hit came late. In 1981 it was Wozu sind Kriege da (What for there are wars?) making him an artist releasing also hits.
In January this his musical Hinter dem Horizont (Behind The Horizon) was premiered. In June an MTV unplugged concert were recorded that is now scheduled to be released as a CD. Ein Herz kann man nicht reparieren (You Can’t Fix A Heart) is the leading track. Partner of Udo Lindenberg is well known Inga Humpe of 2raumwohnung. She appeared as a solo artist last 23 years ago. Both can gain with number 12 a huge success. Udo Lindenberg only twice rose higher, Inga Humpe never saw the Top 20 as a solo artist neither with 2raumwohnung. But as part ofDÖF she was noted at number 1 with Codo.
And a third German new entry inside the top 20 lands at number 13. Glasperlenspiel is a young band coming from the southwest of Germany. They are going to participate at Stefan Raab’s Bundesvision Song Contest on 29th September. Entering with Echt (Pure) at number 13 means they are favourites in the contest. Although the competition this year is very strong.

Where German HipHop Moves
Guettamania update:
Without You from the album Nothing But The Beat can increase its single downloads and cracks the Top 10. It is the 6th track of David Guetta cracking the top 10 this year alone. He is now not only the one with most Top 10 hits this year but this (still young) decade also. Vocal artist USHER counts his 7th Top 10 hit of his whole career -– the second this year. More went to number 7 in March/April this year.
Within the most loved German productions there is a slight change going on. Tim Bendzko still leads the survey with Nur noch kurz die Welt retten (Just Have To Save The World), runners up is still Jupiter Jones and their ballad Still though hard on their heels lands Lena and her take on What A Man (see last commentary)
Next new entry is superstar second Sarah Engels with her new single Only For You. It is a very soft and romantic pop song produced to attract a younger audience. As the third single from her album Heartbeat and without big TV promotion on casting shows or similar events the single lacks the big interest she had a few months ago. It lands at number 33 and very certainly will fall outside the Top 50 very soon.
Besides such clean produced sound this week German Hiphop again strikes back. German rapper FLER is announcing his seventh album Im Bus ganz hinten (Very Back In The Bus – meaning Being The Looser) which is in stores right now (16th September 2011). It is already the second album this year – so FLER right now appears as one of the most productive artists in Germany. First single of the new – presumed to be autobiographical -–disc is Spiegelbild – a track in typical gangster rap style telling the story of the big rap star who loves to diss all behind and under him. He is proud of his new life and enjoying girls, drugs and luxury. Within the refrain FLER tells you how to behave when you’re famous – is it really all a matter of style. The whole story is underlayed with an alarming noise. Could be a very cool clubas well as the sirenes of police cars …
Usually tracks by FLER only spend two or three weeks inside the charts. This one might have a longer chart run cause there is a remix by Die Atzen available which can be purchased as standalone track.
Second German rap star offering new material is Eko Fresh. His new album Ekrem released at Seven Days Music storms the album charts and lands at number 5 – the first time he ever cracked the album Top 10. Simultanously the single Jenseits von Eden (Out Of Eden) is available as download single. It is a cover of the huge hit from 1983 that occupied the Number 1 position for 7 weeks in Germany. Europe wide the English version Guardian Angel by Masquerade (Drafi Deutscher) is probably more known. Eko Fresh now takes the German version and collaborates with the artist who made it popular: Nino de Angelo. Jenseits von Eden was his breakthrough as a popstar and his most successfull hit.
The English original
The German version from 1983
28 years later the song is even more greasy. Perhaps it is cause of the attitude the tough rap star shows. Nino de Angelo in 1983 was crying and lamenting ‚bout the bad world – he did it by singing a real tearjerker. Eko Fresh never did so – he is the strong guy, the man who knows the world. Hearing him asking why the world is so bad and cold sounds quite strange. Is he doing the Sido way – from an aggressive testosterone machine to an settled teacher guy? – On the other hand it seems really hip duetting with former Schlager stars in German HipHop. Three years ago Bushido started collaborating with Karel Gott and covering the 80s hit Forever young / Für immer jung. Last year it was Sido performing with Stephan Remmler ... now Eko Fresh tries to impress the audience. Well – the formula is a little nagged, the surprise not really appears. Number 64 is low even more if you consider the duo performed at The Dome aired on September 3rd.
Further new German productions
Rockband LUXUSLÄRM (Luxury Noise) still is kind of an independent act. They are going to release their fourth album named Carousel – last one from 2010 So laut ich kann (As Loud As I Could had a 10 weeks chart performance climbing to number 13. Four singles were released, three of them reached the sales charts. Most successfull was Nichts ist zu spät (Nothing Too Late) that had a four weeks run peaking at position 58.
The track announcing their new album is Atemlos (Breathless). It is a more calmed down track talking about the strength and power that gives a strong love. It is a love song – yes. To me it is LUXUSLÄRM’s most mass appealing track – in terms of hits it did not catch fire. The single is entering at 63 on download sales only.
A new digital single is available by Herbert Grönemeyer too. The third track lifted from his album Schiffsverkehr (Ship Traffic) is Zu Dir (To you) and it is a very heartful rock ballad … a love song too. It is one of the real strong tracks of the album – but most of the people already have the album. So Zu dir will stall at a low number 76 for sure. It is by the way the 35th single that can appear in the German Top 100.
A completely new act is BOY. Opposite to the name it contains of two females from Switzerland and Germany. Little Numbers is a bubbling pop song that makes curious about the album Mutual Friends released same day as the single.
By the way: Swiss acts seem very beloved these days. Mike Candys & Evelyn are joining DJ Antoine at the very top of the list. Latter one right now can launch a tiny follow up in the German chart: Ma Chériewas a hit in Switzerland already in summer 2010. Now with the huge success of Welcoome To St. Tropez some dance floor lovers also catch up the predecessor. Certainly the track never will have that big chart fortune here.
Last week TV show Die ultimative Chartshow launched three three re-appearing hits in the charts. Topic of the show were most successfull piano hits. This week the episode counting the most successfull pop hymns was aired and again there are re-entries due that broadcasting. Winner of the list first shown in January 2010 is Miguel Rios with A Song Of Joy. The audience of 2011 chose Faithless and Insomnia as the most catchy pop hymn. The track re-enters at number 62 and actually we stopped counting how often the track re-entered due to a place in the Ultimative Chartshow. Last time we saw it sneaking in March through the list reaching Number 41. It is now the 54th chart week the track can collect under his belt.
Hit number two was listed at the TV show at a low number 22: Metallica with ist epic Nothing Else Matters. Like Insomnia it is a track that appears again and again inside the charts. Last time that happened in February that year. Nothing Else Matters re-enters this week at 72 – the highest position since January last year when it had an 8 weeks chart run due to it’s airing at ... Die ultimative Chartshow.
Finally also KRYPTERIA can re-enter the charts after performing their hit Liberatio at the show and gaining position 28.

More "What A Man"
Marlon Roudette holds firm at number 1 with the ballad New Age. It is the third consecutive week and he now as a solo artist matches the result achieved in 2006 as part of duo Mattafix. This recent week his debut album Matter Fixed enters the album list at number 6 – a feat never reached with his former project. To tell some more stories: Marlon Roudette is the first British act staying at number 1 for at least three weeks since late 2009. Back than Robbie Williams brought Bodies to top the singles’ list for four weeks.
A second track from the original Soundtrack of the Matthias Schweighöfer movie What A Man enters the German list this recent issue. It is the title track performed by Lena. The song had a chart career already 17 years ago when the version of Salt’n’Pepa with En Vogue hit the charts and climbed to number 39. The newly recorded version is far and away the most popular by entering directly at number 21. The original sung by Linda Lyndell never reached the charts here.
Rising one place to number 2 MAROON 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera reach a new peak with Moves Like Jagger. MAROON 5 already had been announced having their biggest hit for all times. Christina Aguilera by now enters a position last seen in 2006 with her single Hurt.
Highest new entry is a so far download only track. It is the first lift from Sean Paul’s upcoming yet untitled album which is announced for early 2012. Got 2 Luv U is the first single of the artist touching the Top 10 since We Be Burnin’ climbed to number 5 in autumn 2005. In his whole 9 years long chart career Sean Paul only collected 4 Top 10 hits. Entering the survey at number 9 this week the star seems back to known power. Let’s wait till the full CD release at 16th September will have effect of the list .
Got U Love U features guest vocals by Alexis Jordan – one of the new comers of the year. She oddly missed the upper ranks with her debut Happiness -– to me one of the most catching pop songs this year. Alongside Sean Paul she finally becomes a hit singer. Whether she can stand alone and gain hits is a question for the future.

Piano Hits
Is there anything else than David Guettamania going on in the official German chart? Yes – at least a few moverscan be watched.
There are two tracks inside the Top 10 with rising sales. At number 3 Moves Like Jagger by MAROON 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera and at number 5 Loca People (What The F**k!) by Spanish DJ Sak Noel. Both are new available on CD now and it is very certain seeing there next weeks hanging around the top. Latter one is already the most successfull hit coming from Spain since Las Ketchup hit the top for seven weeks in autumn 2002.
The longest running Top 10 hit this week is the longest running of the whole year. JLO feat. Pitbull spent 25 weeks so far with On The Floor inside the Top 10. Last track doing so was Gossip’s Heavy Cross which spent 27 weeks under the best 10 in 2009/2010.
A significant jump does The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie by the Red Hot Chili Peppers which is supported by the Number 1 rush of the album and can reach number 20. It is only the fourth hit for the Peppers in their almost 20 years long chart career that can climb into the Top 20. Their last appearance there was in 2006 with Dani California and Snow (Hey Oh) – latter the most successfull ever climbing to number 5.
Bouncing up and down is ZAZ with her hit je veux. Since March thesingle is on sale ranking all the time somewhere between rank 24 and 70. Last big impact came by a performance at Mario Barth’s show broadcasted on TV in July. Now she is visiting some bigger festivals in Germany and taking the audience. It makes her flying back up the list to number 22. The highest place she ever gained – in whole Europe. Even in her home country France she only climbed to position 34 earlier this year. She reaches her peak in her 26th chart week. It is the longest way for a track reaching its peak this year.
Lower down the list we can witness the influence of recent TV shows. Main impact comes by a show that was broadcasted for the second (or third?) time: Die ultimative Chartshow featuring the most successfull pop piano hits. The show -– in original one and a half year old – was aired again at Friday 26th August. Leading the survey Everything I Do I Do It For You by Bryan Adams. Most loved song chosen by the audience 2011 is Mad World performed in the show by Michael Andreas featuring Gary Jules. The track listed at number 14 at the Chartshow re-appears in the official German list at number 57 -– which is pretty high. I guess another TV appearance helped the track rising up the list. A few days after the Chartshow – on Tuesday 30th August – Germany’s X Factor started ist new season. A candidate with more perspectives in the show seems 19 years old Martin Madeja. He sang very heartfull and convincing Mad World too. (If you’re interested in watching the videos of the performances you have to go to X Factor’s homepage )
Other re-discovered hits by the Chartshow are number 15 Sunchyme by British act Dario G that also was performing at the show – and a very surprising Just More by German band Wonderwall listed at number 13.
Norwegian band Katzenjammer (Depression/Hangover) starts its life as a singles act in Germany. Their I Will Dance (When I Walk Away) is lifted from the recent album A Kiss Before You Go. The single can enter the German list at 62 -– it appears here earlier than in their home country Norway.
German productions
No change under the most loved songs. Still Tim Bendzko is best selling German artist. His single Nur noch kurz die Welt retten slides down 5–6. Same direction for Still by Jupiter Jones – it goes 17–18. Third best German single comes from Andreas Bourani: Nur in meinem Kopf.
A new single arrives from Fabian Buch. He produces music professionally little more than a year. Last year he started his career with three singles – non of them climbed higher than number 51. After a 10 months break new single Turn Off The Lights is available. Normally such a come back should receive more attention – in the case of Fabian Buch it reaches for position 77. Not really a hit – not really bad. Looks strange to me that his homepage doesn’t mention the new single neither. Something goes completely wrong here.
And finally Ella Endlich is back. If you expect some new material this new single will be disappointing. It is a re-edition of her one and only hit (under the name Ella Endlich) Küss mich, halt mich, lieb mich (Kiss Me, Hold Me, Love Me) including an acoustic version. Ella Endlich had some new releases in the last months – though none of them really could catch fire. Her new album is announced for later in September.
There are two tracks inside the Top 10 with rising sales. At number 3 Moves Like Jagger by MAROON 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera and at number 5 Loca People (What The F**k!) by Spanish DJ Sak Noel.

Main impact comes by a show that was broadcasted for the second (or third?) time: Die ultimative Chartshow featuring the most successfull pop piano hits. The show -– in original one and a half year old – was aired again at Friday 26th August. Leading the survey Everything I Do I Do It For You by Bryan Adams. Most loved song chosen by the audience 2011 is Mad World performed in the show by Michael Andreas featuring Gary Jules. The track listed at number 14 at the Chartshow re-appears in the official German list at number 57 -– which is pretty high. I guess another TV appearance helped the track rising up the list. A few days after the Chartshow – on Tuesday 30th August – Germany’s X Factor started ist new season. A candidate with more perspectives in the show seems 19 years old Martin Madeja. He sang very heartfull and convincing Mad World too. (If you’re interested in watching the videos of the performances you have to go to X Factor’s homepage )
Other re-discovered hits by the Chartshow are number 15 Sunchyme by British act Dario G that also was performing at the show – and a very surprising Just More by German band Wonderwall listed at number 13.
Norwegian band Katzenjammer (Depression/Hangover) starts its life as a singles act in Germany. Their I Will Dance (When I Walk Away) is lifted from the recent album A Kiss Before You Go. The single can enter the German list at 62 -– it appears here earlier than in their home country Norway.
German productions
No change under the most loved songs. Still Tim Bendzko is best selling German artist. His single Nur noch kurz die Welt retten slides down 5–6. Same direction for Still by Jupiter Jones – it goes 17–18. Third best German single comes from Andreas Bourani: Nur in meinem Kopf.
A new single arrives from Fabian Buch. He produces music professionally little more than a year. Last year he started his career with three singles – non of them climbed higher than number 51. After a 10 months break new single Turn Off The Lights is available. Normally such a come back should receive more attention – in the case of Fabian Buch it reaches for position 77. Not really a hit – not really bad. Looks strange to me that his homepage doesn’t mention the new single neither. Something goes completely wrong here.
And finally Ella Endlich is back. If you expect some new material this new single will be disappointing. It is a re-edition of her one and only hit (under the name Ella Endlich) Küss mich, halt mich, lieb mich (Kiss Me, Hold Me, Love Me) including an acoustic version. Ella Endlich had some new releases in the last months – though none of them really could catch fire. Her new album is announced for later in September.
Guettamania
Man of the week is French DJ David Guetta. OK – his fresh album Nothing But The Beat did not storm to Number 1 – it stalled at Number 2 keeping the top spot free for the rockers of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. At the singles’ market the picture looks completely different. As media control reports David Guetta has this recent week 9 tracks inside the Top 100. Last week we counted six tracks – and that was amazing. Now he is the one and only living artist having that much tracks listed in one single week. Only Michael Jackson got post mortem for eight weeks more tracks simultanously in the survey.
Between the nine Guetta songs four are new: most cherrypicked track is Without You featuring Usher that lands at 12 – that track probably has best prospects for released as a full single as well. Further down the list we find Turn Me On feat. Nicki Minaj at 35, Crank It Up feat. Akon at 43 and I Can Only Imagine feat. Chris Brown & Lil Wayne at 72.
The highest new entry of the week is another holiday party track. But it brings kind of a deja vu effect. One Night In Ibiza by Mike Candys & Evelyn Ft. Patrick Miller heavily milks the formula of Welcome To St. Tropez from DJ Antoine vs Timati feat. Kalenna. Probably the completely Swiss team around Mike Candys had a few parties too much with the sound of their colleague DJ Antoine. Mike Candys aka Michael Kull could have had the chance for creating an own style. He produces music for several years – the really big success so far did not happen, but 2011 looks quite good with first hits even outside Switzerland.
Evelyn is much more a star in Switzerland. She won the Popstars casting in 2001 making her one of the four TERAs girls. Together they had four hits – two of them inside the Swiss Top 10. After the group broke up, Evelyn started her solo career collaborating with DJ Tatana and competing for participation at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Together with Mike Candys she gained her first hits under her own name – finally in Germany too.
A complete newby is Patrick Miller. Working as DJ, producer and singer he is successfull especially as the owner of the label Vogue Records and a recording studio in Kenia.
Oops – I forgot to tell you: the Top 3 is still the same as 7 days ago. Marlon Roudete is leading the pack …

European Hits
Indeed a busy week. The German chart counts 13 new entries – three of them inside the Top 10. When did we really had this last time?
13 new tracks (I mean REALLY new tracks – not only Re-Entries) entered the list at the end of July for the last time. It was somehow the last working week in music business. Three new entries inside the Top 10 happened right after the end of the DSDS superstar casting show in May. You see – it is not that unusualhaving a lot of good new music in the shelves although it feels like after a four months break.
I’ve already talked about the new Number 1from Marlon Roudette. Let’s drop some words ’bout the other new entries inside the Top 10. MAROON 5 featuring Christina Aguilera can land with Moves Like Jagger on downloads only at number 3. Impressive! CD sales count from next week’s list on – I’m curious about how high they can rise. So far Moves Like Jagger reaches the highest position a MAROON 5 track ever had. Only This Love reached number 5 in 2004. Christina Aguilera is much more used to find herself inside the Top 10. Moves Like Jagger is the 11th track naming her as an artist and doing so. But also her had to wait for more than four years since her last appearance that highhappened. It was Tell Me alongside P.Diddy that went number 5.
The third Top 10 new entry is the summer hit coming from Spain. If you were this summer somewhere in Europe at a party you for sure danced to Loca People (What The F**K!) served by DJ Sak Noel. The track is a hit in almost whole Europe. Just right now it started having a life in Canada too. Finally the track is available in Germany also and enters on downloads only at number 9. Again we will see next week where the track can rise when the CD is fully released. By the way: exactly one year ago the last track from a Spanish artist went Top 10. It was I Like It by Enrique Iglesias.
Having two European productions entering the top end of the list we count eight tracks of the Top 10 with at least one European artist involved. US-American artists are still the most present even in Germany with four tracks at least featuring an US act. Talking ’bout big European hits I must add that David Guetta launches his next promotional single Night Of Your Life at number 12. The predecessor Lunar – a completely instrumental dance track produced with Dutch Afrojack heavily using the Daft Punk formula – is entering the list at a very low position 84. It makes David Guetta having 11 tracks charted in 2011. Last year he had 9 respective 10 tracks if you count his role as a producer of Kelis’ Acapella too. Don’t know exactly when one act did something similar before. Michael Jackson had 23 tracks charted in 2009 – the year he died. A still living act with more than 10 tracks charted in a year were nobody else than The Beatles. The boys from Liverpool had 14 songs in the German charts in 1964. David Guetta is hard on the heels of that feat – there are more than 3 months left for him.
Another European act paid some attention to in German speaking countries is Dutch Caro Emerald. Her overwhelming hit A Night Like This still crowds up the upper ranks of the list – this week sliding 21–24 in the 27th chart week – so new single Stuck stands in the shadow of the predecessor. The swing inspired track enters at 41 on full CD release and gives her a third chart hit in Germany.
German tracks
Strong European track doesn’t mean a similar impact from German artists. Tim Bendzko still leads the German pack with Nur noch kurz die Welt retten softly sliding 5–4. Next best sold German track is Still – the long burning hit by Jupiter Jones still noted inside the Top 20 and also Andreas Bourani with Nur in meinem Kopf (Just In My Head) is selling well sliding 23–25. The acts following are Frida Gold, Casper and new in the shelves doreen aka Doreen Steinert. She had her first big success with casting band Nu Pagadi in 2004 but started quickly a solo career. Most recently she duetted with her boyfriend Sido and his enemy-friend Fler in 2009. Finally she offers a full album titled vorsicht zerbrechlich (Attention Fragile). Leading single is wie konntest du nur (How the hell could you) – a heartfull ballad about a broken love. All we know from doreen are ballads like this – probably the album is the right one for fully „enjoying“ heart aches. The CD so far performs cautious – I guess only fans of doreen bought the track. But she is the first contestant of upcoming Bundesvision Song Contest that will held 29th september in Cologne. This year there will perform a lot of big German acts – it will be a tough struggle for sure. And the impact on sales will be huge as well. It is certain even doreen will see her track rising in the list too – I’m curious whether she can launch her best performing track at all. We’ll see it.
Next song competing at BuVi Song Contest and getting first attention is Zum Laichen und Sterben ziehen die Lachse den Fluss hinauf (For Spawning And Dying Salmons Migrate A River Upwards). The song is brought by Tomte singer Thees Uhlmann. With the track he announces his first solo album that is titled after him. The lyrics tell the story of a whole life starting somewhen in childhood and expressing permanently the certainty that pain and fun are always close to each other. One of the significant words are „Life is like fire. It burns and gives warm.“ Very poetic.
Significantly the most successfull German productions have German lyrics too. Highest non German track is Hi-A Ma Pata Pata by Milk&Sugar feat. Miriam Makeba & Jungle Brothers dropping 41–53. German language seems gaining new popularity in pop business. Matching that thesis Geboren um zu leben (Born For Living) by UNHEILIG this week counts its 82nd consecutive week in the charts which makes it the longest running German track at all – overtaking Die längste Single der Welt by Wolfgang Petry from 1996. If we count all chart weeks – even those that were collected after a break – Geboren um zu leben is so far the third longest runner in German. It is hard on the heels of Das Beste (The Best) by Silbermond (Silver Moon). Leading the survey is still (and probably never be overtaken) Ein Stern (der deinen Namen trägt) (A Star (Named After You) by DJ Ötzi & Nik P. released in 2007.
Further German releases performing at the very down end of the list:
A new rock band coming from Berlin is Haudegen (Mortuary Sword). Well, band seems to be a little wrong – it is actually a duo. Both have been active as rap singers a few years long. To bring some more emotion into their tracks they decided to rename and change the style. Since last summer they appaer under the new name. An first EP and an album followed in autumn last year and May this year. The third single from that album is Zu Hause (At Home). It is – as most of their new tracks – a soft rock song about coming home and finding the right place for living – the place where you born. Seems strange to me in a world changing more and more into global and mobile one. It is a reaction to that new world made by people who can’t effort the luxury of travelling and working everywhere. No money means every place in the world is a wrong place. What counts in that situation is the home feeling, the place one is used to, the place of childhood. In that sense Haudegen is kind of a political rock duo – by the way a more right wing oriented. The world shown in their video is kind of creepy too.
Supported by the release of her album Frei (Free) LaFee can see her single Ich bin (I Am) having a boost in sales and reappearing in the German list. Nonetheless it is one of her worst performing singles – the album stalls at number 14 which is also a poor result for her.
Two oddities of German music business (and chart) at last today:
Killer Love the debut of Pussycat Dolls’ singer Nicole Scherzinger had its release back in March in Europe – except in Germany (and Austria I guess). Why? Nobody really knows. In the UK the singer launched three simultan Top 3 hits from that album including Nr.1 single Right There. In Germany nobody cares. Finally the album is announced and is in stores since the end of August. As leading single in Germany Right There was chosen (after that track was the biggest success in the UK and the U.S.). Release date was somewhen in June – but without any big promotion and as a download single only. Two weeks before the album the bigger promotion started – another official release date was reported still as download only single. Well – the effect: Right There enters at a low position 61. Seems that UNIVERSAL as the company of Ms. Scherzinger doesn’t see her as a single star at all or even worse doesn’t act for the singles’ market anymore. The big money can be milked only with album releases … I guess such focus ain’t what pop music lives on.
The recent Number 1 in Germany comes with support by a German movie. Even the last German movie that had such an impact titled Kokowäh (Coq au vin – in a acoustically written translation) brings a track back in people’s mind after released on DVD. Snowflakes by US-American White Apple Tree had a life as a medium hit back in march. Now the track sells again in bigger figures bringing Snowflakes again in the official German list at 65. The band is right now much more popular in middle Europe than in their home country.
Second track of the movie’s soundtrack Stay by British HURTS can rise up the list too. It lands at 77 this week. The DVD of Kokowäh meanwhile storms to Number 1 at the official lending charts and to Number 2 at amazon’s list.
13 new tracks (I mean REALLY new tracks – not only Re-Entries) entered the list at the end of July for the last time. It was somehow the last working week in music business. Three new entries inside the Top 10 happened right after the end of the DSDS superstar casting show in May.

Back To Life With Marlon Roudette
Summer laziness is definitely over. Again Germany celebrates a new Number 1. It is Marlon Roudette who enters the list directly at the top. It is only the second Number 1 hit starting his chart run right at the highest possible position. Last one that did so was Call My Name by Superstar winning Pietro Lombardi back in May. Last year we also only had two instant chart topper – the year before there were 7 and in 2008 eight. What we are really witnessing is a slowing down of the charts. The big hit right away from the start is what it should be – a special feat.
The recent track in question calls New Age and is the main track of the new Matthias Schweighöfer movie What A Man that was premiered last weekend and instantly topped the German movie charts. It is a soft and romantic ballad – matching the recent taste of German music buyers. The soundtrack was choosen by the director and actor himself and includes a very surprising collection. German acts like Lena and Philip Poisel appear at the track list like Booka Shade or Ben L’Oncle Soul.
Marlon Roudette by the way is no unknown to the charts and to Number One. As one half of the duo Mattafix he topped the German charts in early 2006 with Big City Lights. The track spend three weeks at number one and 15 weeks inside the Top 10. It got number 7 within the chart of the year 2006.
Also new according to media controls press release from tuesday are Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera with Moves Like Jagger at number 3. In most of the weeks this year that would be the highest new entry. Not so this very moment. Finally the business is back alive.
