Yeah! Hamburg trio Deichkind finally hits the Top 10. Their next announced single Leider geil (Sorry, wicked) is rising 13–6. It is the soundtrack to the actual life. You have to be aware of much things: pollution, sustainability, social issues, health … the fun things in life are completely different. A lot of people think like that and that’s the reason Leider geil is becoming more and more popular. The full CD release is scheduled for end of March. Will this be the first super hit for Deichkind? – So far it is the best selling track of its whole career. And this recent week it is the best sold German track as well.
Following on number 10 is UNHEILIG and the new single So wie du warst (Just as you were) and just behind it at number 12 again is Deichkind with Bück dich hoch (Stoop Up). Back at the Top 20 after the release of their album is MIA.. The Berlin band sees its single Fallschirm (Parachute) rising 10 places to number 18 again. The album Tacheles performs much better at number 3 in its initial week.
After the start of their tournee also The BossHoss can re-enter the Top 20. Don’t Gimme That stalls for this week at number 19.
Best new song of the week comes from Chemnitz based KRAFTKLUB (Power Club). They first had been listened to last autumn with their province anthem Ich will nicht nach Berlin (I don’t want to go to Berlin) that made a surprising number 5 at Bundesvision Song Contest. In February they released their debut album Mit K (With K) which immediately stormed to number 1 on the album list. With Songs für Liam the story continues. It is still music from the smaller towns but it has the power of fascinating not only the kids from there. It starts chart life at number 40 on downloads only. There are more things to come that will happen within the next two years certainly.
German newcomer 2011, winner of Bundesvision Song Contest and of the BAMBI award plus the 1live Krone – all these is Tim Bendzko. He now releases a third single from debut album Wenn Worte meine Sprache wären (If Words Would Be My Language). The track is named Ich laufe (I Run) and again it is a ballad. Bendzko sings about the ongoing life, the searching for luck and the truth that only stops at the very end. The song was available as a single download track before–that probably explains the low start at number 47 after it is released as a full CD single.
Supported by a very successful album Santiano is rising also in the singles list. Same titled song jumps 90–74 while the album is entering number 1. And also Jupiter Jones are on the road again and see their Still appearing back in the charts. Two days ago they won the ECHO award as the best radio song–so we will have the song for sure some more weeks inside the list.
Songs from German speaking territory
First let’s have a look at Switzerland which exports a lot of music these days. We find six tracks inside the list coming from there. Most successful mow is Stefanie Heinzmann. Her Diggin’ in The Dirt overtakes so far leading Ma chèrie by DJ Antoine.New material is dropped by another club act bringing us one of the biggest club hits of the 90s back at number 44. Originally Insomnia was a hit for Faithless in 1996–it stormed the dancefloors and the charts reaching number 2 where it held four weeks. In 2005 a remix was released and the tune since then is appearing again and again in the list cementing its status as a timeless classic. After the success of One Night In Ibiza Swiss DJ and producer Mike Candys can chart with his very first Swiss hit in Germany too. It is a re-work of Insomnia only slightly differing from the original. As companion his friend Jack Holiday appears as performer.
And another Swiss act stops for a short visit right now. It is DJ Bobo–probably the most successful Swiss act at all–who offers a new single from his latest album Dancing Las Vegas. Main track of the new release is La Vida Es–a typical eurodance track. The CD also contains a version on Volare and a live recording of Let The Good Times Row. The single dips to number 82. It is a certain thing that in next week time DJ Bobo is already disappeared again.
Best sold Austrian track is Brenna tuats guat (It Burns Well) by Hubert von Goisern after he had some performances in Northwest Germany. The track jumps 66–45 in its 20th chart week. For a dialect song not being good mood folcloristic Schlager it is an unbelievable chart career. He is joined by coutrymen Andreas Gabalier and DJ Ötzi.
DSDS impact
Also this week we can find some hits clearly profiting of the performance on the actual TV casting. March 10th the motto was “Party Hits”. Besides Ai Se Eu Te Pego and Titanium that are still in the list Give Me Everything gained most places jumping back into the list at 73. Given that it was not only the song but also the performer who had an impact on the new interest it was Hamed Anousheh who supported the all star collaboration between Pitbull, NE-YO, Afrojack & Nayer.The track already spent 42 weeks inside the German charts.
Exactly one year ago On The Floor by JLO Feat. Pitbull appeared in the list for the first time. Last week it dropped out for the first time since then. Now it appears once again at number 82 after Silvia Amaru staged with the song on DSDS. Unfortunatly the performance was highly anticipated but still she had to leave the show.
And the last DSDS influenced re-entry: Is he one of the favourites or not? Jesse Ritch can launch a song he performed in the list once again. This time it is Yeah 3x originally by Bobby Brown.
Last statistical gimmick at the end: this week we have the first survey since the start of 2009 without any Lady Gaga song mentioned. The lady had a consecutive three years chart presence till now. It is Marry The Night that drops off the charts as the last single of her. Hmmm … I promise you that the world still turns around. See ya all next week.

10-12: UNHEILIG Is Back
Nothing new at the Top of the German singles charts: Brazilian Michel Teló holds the crown as Nooossaa! Ai Se Eu Te Pego! is the most sold single track for a sixth week now. In statistic terms it is now the longest running number 1 since New Age by Marlon Roudette that had an eight weeks hold at the Top spot back in September and October.
The story of the week is about the new offering coming fromUNHEILIG. So wie du warst (As You Were)–the pre-release to album Lichter der Stadt (Lights Of The City)–storms to Number 2 equalling the result of Geboren um zu leben that is still the most succesful single of the band and which is entering number 61 in its 99thchart week. That total of weeks narrowly misses to be the best result for a German song. Best German production counts this recent week 100 weeks–it is Sky And Sand by Paul & Fritz Kalkbrenner. And one song still has seven weeks more under his belt. It is Ein Stern (der deinen Namen trägt) by Austrian duet DJ Ötzi & Nik P. that so far holds the crown of most collected chart weeks. Let’s wait till the end of May–than that survey could be completely changed.
UNHEILIG is one of the most present German project of the recent decade. Only Berlin culcha candela appeared more often in the charts within the last two years. But UNHEILIG beats the dancehall ethno-group due to the fact that So wie du warst is already the fourth Top 10 hit. Only Lena Meyer-Landrut has had that much tracks inside the Top 10 in the past two years.
New single So wie du warst is a ballad where one is offering support and shelter for difficult situations. As mostly in the case of UNHEILIG there is a strong relation to the situation when people have to die–of course it is lyrically wrapped, so everybody can listen to the track singing along the lyrics and don’t felling disturbed.
By starting at number 2 So wie du warst is the most successful German track this week. Still at runner’s up position is surprisingly Ivy Quainoo and her Do You Like What You See outselling the new MIA. single Fallschirm (Parachute). That track announces the new album and it is bubbly pop celebrating the life and the fun of starting things again and again.
A certain big hit in the next future is Deichkind’s Leider Geil (Sorry, Wicked). So far the track is only available as an album cut. In it’s third week it reaches number 17. And finally a video was released plus the anouncement that Leider geil is the next official single of Deichkind. Probably the track will become the first Top 10 hit for the Hamburg quartet. So far Bück dich hoch (Stoop Up) holds at number 12 meaning Deichkind has two simultanous hits inside the Top 20.
All in all we find 22 German productions inside the Top 100. That is a comfortable situation.
Casting show hits and further TV related re-entries
February 25th the first live show of 2012 season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (Germany Looks For The Superstar; German version on Idols) was aired. And of course it propells some tracks back up the list. Biggest gainer is The A Team originally recorded by Ed Sheeran.. On TV the big show favourite Luca Hänni from Switzerland performed the song which boosts the original 23–14. Two weeks ago the track already was propelled to number 9 for a single week after a performance of Ed Sheeran. at the final of The Voice of Germany.
Next favourites–at least for the semi-final– seem to be Dennis Richter and Jesse Ritch. Both convince the (female) audience by chosing romantic ballads. Dennis’ performed I Won’t Let You Go which lifts the original recording by James Morrison back in the list. It reaches number 54 in its 22nd chart week, back in October it surprisingly stalled at number 11 denying the singer a second Top 10 hit in Germany. Anyway it is the second biggest seller for the British singer.
Jesse chose a Number 1 hit from the year 2005. Let Me Love You was the only real hit for USAmerican MARIO. Believe it or not–the track only spent 15 weeks inside the charts in 2005. Such short careers were quite common 7 years ago. Now the song is back at number 66 in the list–certainly it will leave very soon again.
With much more rhythm and soul Daniele Negroni offered his version on Forget You / F**k You. The original recording by Cee Lo Green was a hit in 2010–it is back now at number 94. The only girl generating an instant re-entering hit was Fabienne Rothe who performed Just Hold Me originally recorded by Norwegian Maria Mena. The song was her biggest hit sneaking 52 weeks through the list. Now it clings on at number 95.
Casting shows are generating hits for teenies (and maybe some few twens)–Carmen Nebel does the same with her show for older ones. Last year she spotted on Andreas Gabalier who is now a well known act in Germany too. The show aired on 25th February featured the band Santiano from North Germany. A month ago they were totally unknown–meanwhile they have a Top 3 album launched. After their performance at the show also the title track Santiano enters the singles list. Number 76 is so far not the huge impact but one should take in account the full release of the CD single which is scheduled for March 23rd.
Mentioning hit making TV appearances this week a third show makes an impact. The new season of Die ultimative Chartshow (The Ultimate Chart Show) counted the most successful German male singer. German was probably ment as the language used for the lyrics. Winner according to the show is Austrian Falco, a week before it was Sarah Connor who was crowned as the most successful German female singer. In the show on 24th February Joachim Witt performed his hit Die Flut as the 19th most successful German singer–the recording enters the list after a two years pause at number 92.The singer now does have a 30 year long chart career. In 1982 he started with his Der goldene Reiter (The Golden Horseman). – Duetting partner on Die Flut Peter Heppner by the way has announced a new album for April.
Further releases from DE / CH and NL
Swiss Stefanie Heinzmann also is back with a new album. First single Diggin’ In The Dirt is available since February and enters at number 28. The song is one of her strongest. Unfortunately the big media hype is over and so the huge success keeps waiting in Germany. In her home country the single performs much better and is right after the start the second biggest success for her.
German gangster rap scene is very active these days. Of course Bushido and Sido are still the leading the pack in commercial terms. But there are almost every week another release from the crowd appearing. More or less the quantity of these recordings stalls somewhere in the downer regions of the charts. Though it is a sign of the popularity of the genre.
This week it is FLER accompanied by SILLA (more known as Godsilla) who offer the leading single to their new album Südberlin Maskulin II (South Berlin Male II). The single includes two tracks Bleib wach (Stay awake) and Pitbull. The new sound of the rappers includes some autotune effects and is slightly party oriented. Simultanously the lyrics become kind of softer. I never would call it mainstream or clever but there are some phrases modifying the well known macho attitude. Anyway it is music for a very narrow market. Starting at number 79 clearly underlines that fact.
Finally Dutch Bingo Players deliver the dance track of the week. Rattle is a club tune sneaking around for some months. It is available as a download track since end of January and now climbs into the list at number 91.
Last trivia on the chart: M.I.A is back with her only solo hit Paper Planes which reached number 76 in 2008. The new single Bad Girls so far did not chart. Will the year 2012 bring the big breakthrough for her?

08-12: The Final of TVoG
It is the fourth week at the top for Michel Teló and his Nooosssaa! Ai Se Eu Te Pego! and probably it will stay for another week there as it is the biggest carneval party hit right now. Statistically we now have two consecutive singles spending at least a month at the top. The last time we whitnessed such a feat was back in late spring past year. Than back it was JLO feat. Pitbull spending five weeks at the top with On The Floor before German Superstar winner Pietro Lombardi hold the crown for four weeks with Call My Name.
At the runner’s up position the winner of The Voice of Germany lands. It is–you already know it–20 years old Ivy Quainoo. It might have surprised some fans due to the fact that none of her performances had charted before. Obviously she was kind of a sleeper overtaking all contestants with her amazing Do You Like What You See which is a great pop song at all. Honestly it could be the title song for any James Bond Movie. Her coaches–The BossHoss– doubtlessly did a good job. It’s really a pity that a casting winner song never has the chance of getting a real hit in Germany. Number 2 says everything. And the performance at iTunes after a week is ... devastating.
The four competitors of Ivy Quainoo also storm the list. Michael Schulte–the third on the show–can make it into the Top 10 too. His ballad Carry Me Home lands at a proper number 8. It is already his third chart entry. He also lifts British Ed Sheeran. into the Top 10. After he performed with the newcomer star the song The A Team at the final show the original single jumps to number 9 and the just released album + enters the album list at number 12.
I’m only allowed to embed the acoustic version of „Carry Me Home“ sung at a private radio channel –sorry!
Also the runner’s up on the show Kim Sanders can launch with her final song a third chart entry in 2012. As she had a career as a singer already Haunted is her eighth track at all that can reach the Top 100. By halting at number 13 it is so far her best performing song. I would add: it is really the best and most ambitious song she ever recorded.
Fourth candidate Max Giesinger performed a more rock oriented song, but obviously that style wasn’t the favourite one of the audience. Nearly 18% of votes was a clear result. Sales afterwards speak a different language. Dach der Welt (Roof Of The World) starts its chart life at number 14. (No video or soundclip available, sorry) His duet with Katie Melua gives the guest star a re-appearance of her hit Nine Million Bycicles at number 97. It’s the first time since Ovtober 2007 that the song can reach the charts.
The strong impact of the show and their appearance inside the Top 20 results in a complete number of six German productions in the upper fifth of the chart. Such a feat was last seen in late October the past year. The question is: How sustainably that German power can establish itself?
Having the four finalists in the list ain’t everything TVoG can achieve. Also two participants kicked off at the semi final a week before bring their own songs into the survey. The tracks were not available before the final show and of course all the attention spotted to the Big Four. Hence it is more than impressive watching Mic Donet flying to number 36 with Losing You. That result corresponds with the voting of the show–more than 56% wanted him to stay, coach Xavier Naidoo instead chose Max Giesinger. Maybe Mic Donet can attest himself as the really big winner of the show. Just let’s wait til all candidates have released their albums. So far Losing You is at least as strong as winning song Do You Like What You See. It’s soulful, packed with power and simply overwhelming.
The official recording is blocked at all platforms, so I can only refer to following beat remix by DJTabou
Second semi finalist having a chart hit with a personal song is Sharron Levy. Her version on Somebody That I Used To Know still is in the list, now Drowning can appear also. Starting its chart life at number 87 it certainly will disappear soon. Whether Sharron Levy will have a life as a (commercially successful) singer is still in question.
Well, the casting show was the big hitmaker of the week. But there are still some further action going on. Let’s have a last look back at the Top 10: Turn Me on is the next big hit for French DJ David Guetta. End of January new remixes were released, a few days later a proper video appeared on TV and internet and the full CD single is announced for March 9th. Meanwhile the track jumps 23–10 giving David Guetta his first Top1 0 hit in 2012 but his 11th within the past three years. He is so far the most successful chart act of the recent decade. Featured singer Nicki Minaj adds a third Top 10 hit to her account. Two of them she achieved alongside David Guetta. Since the start of February she additionally is the new face of the MAC Viva Glam campaign that collects money for some charity activities–probably she’s on the way to become a really big superstar.
The recent list reflects the time span starting February 10th ending February 16th. On February 11th a big star of the 80ies died. You already know about whom I’m talking–it is Whitney Houston. So we see five hits of her re-appearing in the list. Her best known and probably her signature song I Will Always Love You is also the one purchased by most people remembering her. The song originally recorded by country star Dolly Parton in 1974 became a hit for Whitney Houston in 1992/93 as the main title for the movie Bodyguard. It occupied the number 1 spot for six weeks in early 1993. Another song from the movie Run To You can appear at number 98 again this week.
Further down the list one can find also the (inofficial) anthem for the Olympic Games in 1988 One Moment In Time that made it for two weeks in October to number 1. The number 2 hit My Love Is Your Love from 1999 enters at number 64 and her latest chart track I Look To You released in 2009 appears once again at number 84.
Besides these top stories there are some German news yet left.
Rosenstolz offers a second single from their recent album Wir sind am Leben (We’re Alive). Lied von den Vergessenen (Song Of The Forgotten) tells about the ones besides the main society. The video reflects on migrant people in poorness but the lyrics are much more open so almost everyone can be a lonely, misunderstood and a forgotten one. The single comes as a double A side featuring also Wie lang kann ein Mensch tanzen? (How Long A Human Could Dance?)
If you’re located outside Germany you can watch the main video here. If not: the youtube/GEMA struggle is to be solved in court in April 2012–keep fingers crossed)
In the album list Hamburg based Deichkind shots to number 2 with their album Befehl von ganz unten (Order From Far Below). It is absolutely the best sold album of their whole 12 year long career. As an effect the track Leider geil (Sorry, Wicked) lands at number 38. Promised, that electro rap track will sweeten a lot of summer parties this year for sure.
Try the Decalicious Mix also
I warned you for several weeks of the approaching carnival season. Also this week we see some typical moves of very simple Schlager tracks. The winner this issue is Mickie Krause who sees his Schatzi, schenk mir ein Foto (Darlin’, Give Me A Photo) rises twelve places to number 39 reaching a new peak. So far the track peaked at number 40 in past summer as one of the big Mallorca party hits. Now in its 36th week at all the track counts as one of the slowest riser (if you refer to the weeks spent in the charts). Only four songs had a longer run before reaching their peak, Schöne Maid (Pretty gal) by Tony Marshall in 1972 had a 39 week climb, Belgian Vaya Con Dios needed 40 chart weeks and a remix by Milk&Sugar to rocket up to number 7 a year ago, the Christmas anthem Last Christmas by Wham! took 72 weeks before it peaked at number 4 in 2008 and finally Paul & Fritz Kalkbrenner saw their sleeping hit Sky And Sand appearing 83 times inside the charts to reach a number 29 in November 2011 as their highest rank ever achieved. Appeared for the first time in the list a year ago Schatzi, schenk mir ein Foto is kind of a fast riser–we’ve seen already three tracks this year reaching their peaks three years or more after their first entry.
Also cologne band HÖHNER. (Chicken) sets kind of personal records. Re-entering with Schenk mir dein Herz (Give Me Your Heart) and 6 bis 8 Stunden Schlaf (6 To 8 Hours Of Sleep) they right now appear for a 15th consecutive year in the charts. From all acts listed in 2012 so far only two have a longer unbroken presence in the charts. It is again Wham! with their seasonal anthem and singer Xavier Naidoo solo or as part of Söhne Mannheims. Both count 16 consecutive years of having at list one chart entry inside the German charts.
Finally also Tim Toupet sneaks again into the list with his So ein schöner Tag also known as Fliegerlied. The song was the hit of carneval season 2009–it attracts once again a lot of fools partying around these days.
At the runner’s up position the winner of The Voice of Germany lands. It is–you already know it–20 years old Ivy Quainoo. It might have surprised some fans due to the fact that none of her performances had charted before. Obviously she was kind of a sleeper overtaking all contestants with her amazing Do You Like What You See which is a great pop song at all. Honestly it could be the title song for any James Bond Movie. Her coaches–The BossHoss– doubtlessly did a good job. It’s really a pity that a casting winner song never has the chance of getting a real hit in Germany. Number 2 says everything. And the performance at iTunes after a week is ... devastating.

So far Losing You is at least as strong as winning song Do You Like What You See. It’s soulful, packed with power and simply overwhelming.
The official recording is blocked at all platforms, so I can only refer to following beat remix by DJTabou
Second semi finalist having a chart hit with a personal song is Sharron Levy. Her version on Somebody That I Used To Know still is in the list, now Drowning can appear also. Starting its chart life at number 87 it certainly will disappear soon. Whether Sharron Levy will have a life as a (commercially successful) singer is still in question.
Well, the casting show was the big hitmaker of the week. But there are still some further action going on. Let’s have a last look back at the Top 10: Turn Me on is the next big hit for French DJ David Guetta. End of January new remixes were released, a few days later a proper video appeared on TV and internet and the full CD single is announced for March 9th. Meanwhile the track jumps 23–10 giving David Guetta his first Top1 0 hit in 2012 but his 11th within the past three years. He is so far the most successful chart act of the recent decade. Featured singer Nicki Minaj adds a third Top 10 hit to her account. Two of them she achieved alongside David Guetta. Since the start of February she additionally is the new face of the MAC Viva Glam campaign that collects money for some charity activities–probably she’s on the way to become a really big superstar.
The recent list reflects the time span starting February 10th ending February 16th. On February 11th a big star of the 80ies died. You already know about whom I’m talking–it is Whitney Houston. So we see five hits of her re-appearing in the list. Her best known and probably her signature song I Will Always Love You is also the one purchased by most people remembering her. The song originally recorded by country star Dolly Parton in 1974 became a hit for Whitney Houston in 1992/93 as the main title for the movie Bodyguard. It occupied the number 1 spot for six weeks in early 1993. Another song from the movie Run To You can appear at number 98 again this week.
Further down the list one can find also the (inofficial) anthem for the Olympic Games in 1988 One Moment In Time that made it for two weeks in October to number 1. The number 2 hit My Love Is Your Love from 1999 enters at number 64 and her latest chart track I Look To You released in 2009 appears once again at number 84.
Besides these top stories there are some German news yet left.
Rosenstolz offers a second single from their recent album Wir sind am Leben (We’re Alive). Lied von den Vergessenen (Song Of The Forgotten) tells about the ones besides the main society. The video reflects on migrant people in poorness but the lyrics are much more open so almost everyone can be a lonely, misunderstood and a forgotten one. The single comes as a double A side featuring also Wie lang kann ein Mensch tanzen? (How Long A Human Could Dance?)
If you’re located outside Germany you can watch the main video here. If not: the youtube/GEMA struggle is to be solved in court in April 2012–keep fingers crossed)
In the album list Hamburg based Deichkind shots to number 2 with their album Befehl von ganz unten (Order From Far Below). It is absolutely the best sold album of their whole 12 year long career. As an effect the track Leider geil (Sorry, Wicked) lands at number 38. Promised, that electro rap track will sweeten a lot of summer parties this year for sure.
Try the Decalicious Mix also
I warned you for several weeks of the approaching carnival season. Also this week we see some typical moves of very simple Schlager tracks. The winner this issue is Mickie Krause who sees his Schatzi, schenk mir ein Foto (Darlin’, Give Me A Photo) rises twelve places to number 39 reaching a new peak. So far the track peaked at number 40 in past summer as one of the big Mallorca party hits. Now in its 36th week at all the track counts as one of the slowest riser (if you refer to the weeks spent in the charts). Only four songs had a longer run before reaching their peak, Schöne Maid (Pretty gal) by Tony Marshall in 1972 had a 39 week climb, Belgian Vaya Con Dios needed 40 chart weeks and a remix by Milk&Sugar to rocket up to number 7 a year ago, the Christmas anthem Last Christmas by Wham! took 72 weeks before it peaked at number 4 in 2008 and finally Paul & Fritz Kalkbrenner saw their sleeping hit Sky And Sand appearing 83 times inside the charts to reach a number 29 in November 2011 as their highest rank ever achieved. Appeared for the first time in the list a year ago Schatzi, schenk mir ein Foto is kind of a fast riser–we’ve seen already three tracks this year reaching their peaks three years or more after their first entry.
Also cologne band HÖHNER. (Chicken) sets kind of personal records. Re-entering with Schenk mir dein Herz (Give Me Your Heart) and 6 bis 8 Stunden Schlaf (6 To 8 Hours Of Sleep) they right now appear for a 15th consecutive year in the charts. From all acts listed in 2012 so far only two have a longer unbroken presence in the charts. It is again Wham! with their seasonal anthem and singer Xavier Naidoo solo or as part of Söhne Mannheims. Both count 16 consecutive years of having at list one chart entry inside the German charts.
Finally also Tim Toupet sneaks again into the list with his So ein schöner Tag also known as Fliegerlied. The song was the hit of carneval season 2009–it attracts once again a lot of fools partying around these days.
06-12: TVoG still spills the charts
Michel Teló stands as the number one star with his anthem Nooosssaa! Ai Se Eu Te Pego! for a second week.
The big impacts once again are brought by The Voice of Germany. Two weeks before the final the power of the show is still unbeaten.
Bouncing back into the Top 10 and reaching a new peak at number 6 Troublemaker by Taio Cruz benefits heavily from his appearance on the show on January 27th. He opened the Live Show number 5 with all twelve contestants that were in the race back than.
Coach and juror Rea Garvey launched his new single two weeks before the final and of course he was performing the song Colour Me In on the show too. As a result the single flies to number 12–the highest rank Rea Garvey could achieve as an solo-artist ever. And the highest since his band Reamonn reached number 6 in 2008 with Through The Eyes Of A Child. Of course once he was (unofficially) credited for a number 1 hit when his voice appeared on a version of All Good Things (Come To An End) with Nelly Furtado that was available in Germany on the single CD as a bonus track.
Best performing candidate from the show was surprisingly Sharron Levy. The Israel native staged with the number 1 hit Somebody That I Used To Know turning it into an rock driven ballad that brings her a number 26. Maybe that’s the start of an career besides a big major deal.
All others from the show end further down. Kim Sanders–finally the runner’s up finalist–sets her second show entry as number 54. Empire State Of Mind (Part II) was a sleeping hit originally recorded by Alicia Keys. It reached number 35 back in 2010 and spent so far 48 weeks inside the charts. Of course that version is back in the list too. It comes in short of Kim Sanders’ take at number 58. Part I featuring JAY-Z & Alicia Keys together re-appears at 84.
Third at the end–third two weeks before the final contestant Michael Schulte seems to be one of the most constant participants on the show. He performed Video Games still at number 3 in the version of Lana Del Rey. His take can reach number 66 giving him a second chart entry.
Behnam Moghaddam was a big aspirant for the final until he performed Eleanor Rigby as an explosive rock piece which made coach Xavier Naidoo shooting him off the show. A lot of fans were shocked according to many sites and forums–commercially the take on the well known tune of The Beatles ranks at number 75–indeed a weak result for Behnam. The song itself had a hidden chart life in 1966. Officially the track was released in combination with Yellow Submarine as a double A side single in Germany too. The official charts list only Yellow Submarine although.
A very similar story can be told about Percival–the second big aspirant. He staged Beautiful on the show January 27th. The song made famous by Christina Aguilera reached number 4 in Germany in 2003. The version of Percival is much more a rough ballad. Coach Rea Garvey was not really convinced–neither was the audience. Beautiful stucks at number 77.
Best CD start without TV show support comes from Marlon Roudette. His Anti-Hero (Brave New World) was available before as digital single and now jumps 19–7 with physical sales counting.
German Deichkind is back. After the release of their last album Arbeit nervt (Work Sucks) producer Sebi Hackert died and there was a uncertainty about the further existence of the project. Fortunatly the guys decided to continue. Bück dich hoch (Stoop Up) is the pre-release from upcoming album Befehl von ganz unten (Order From Down Below) – it continues the story of Arbeit nervt forcefully. In my opinion it critisizes actual politics and financial crisis in a much smarter way than other pop products try to do. Starting its chart life at number 17 after released online the single is so far the second best performing of Deichkind and only the second to reach the Top 20. 12 years ago they managed to do so with their chart debut Bon Voyage.
Supported by the release of their twelfth album named simply Volume 12 The Disco Boys see their cover of Around The World rising to number 31.
Also the winner of Das Supertalent 2011 Leo Rojas offers an album. Spirit Of The Hawk storms the album list at number 2. Leading single Ele condor pasa (only available digitally) can enter the singles list at 82. The tune became popular in 1970 when Simon & Garfunkel added some lyrics and recorded that version. It entered the Number 1 in Germany for 7 weeks and ended as the most sold single of the year. The same year a few instrumental versions charted also–most known probably the one of Facio Santillan that reached number 9 in September 1970.
Last new entry is the new single of De Randfichten (The edge spruces). They try to get some attention in carneval season with Du kleine Fliege (You, little fly). It is a very simple song for drunken people who love singing stupid lyrics while drinking more … Number 96 is the result so far.
In The end let’s tell you about the strangest chart move of the week at last: Wiz Khalifa drops back 91–71 with his hit Black And Yellow for what reason ever. I can’t explain but I like it.

Charts vom 24. Oktober 2008
Eine sehr deutsch dominierte Woche haben wir vorliegen. Die beiden höchsten Neueinsteiger kommen aus Deutschland, dazu zwei weitere tiefer unten. Und die wichtigsten Aufsteiger sind ebenfalls deutsche Produktionen.
Aber zunächst mal der Blick auf die Spitze, wo sich nach wie vor Internationales tummelt. Eine dritte Woche hält sich P!nk mit „So What“ auf der 1. Dahinter kehrt Amy Macdonald mit „This Is The Life“ noch einmal auf den Silberrang zurück. Nach zwei Wochen Rast auf der 3 schafft sie es nun also, Katy Perry und „I Kissed A Girl“ hinter sich zu lassen und in ihrer insgesamt 13. Chartwoche zum zweitenmal ihre Höchstposition einzunehmen. Insgesamt befindet sich der Song 12 Wochen in den Top 10, davon 7 unter den ersten 5. Mit „Mr Rock & Roll“ ist Amy Macdonald ein zweites mal in den Charts vertreten. in dieser Woche fällt sie leicht von 45 auf 54 und damit raus aus der oberen Hälfte. Da sich dieser Titel bereits 30 Wochen lang in der Liste aufhält, wird er wahrscheinlich schon bald nicht mehr notiert werden.
Auf Platz 4 machen aber schon Polarkreis 18 aus Dresden mächtig Druck. In der zweiten Woche steigt ihr Chartdebüt „Allein Allein“ von der 8 unter die ersten 5 und ich wage hier mal zu behaupten, dass sie in einer Woche mindestens einen Medaillenrang belegen. So wie sich der Song derzeit allerorten behauptet, könnten wir hier sogar mit der nächsten Nr.1 konfrontiert sein.
Das Guru Josh Project geht mit „Infinity 2008“ nach einer Woche Pause noch mal zurück auf die 5. In der 17. Woche ist der Titel dabei, davon war er 6 x in den Top 10 und in dieser Woche bereits das dritte mal auf der 5. Und damit wäre die Spitzengruppe komplett.
Der höchste Neuzugang in den Single-Charts kommt von Reamonn. Nach zwei Jahren Pause kehren sie auf Rang 8 in die deutsche Liste zurück. Zu ihrem 16. Chart-Titel "Through The Eyes Of A Child" kann ich gar nicht so viel sagen. Der Titel scheint mir recht durchschnittlich und massenkompatibel, mit einer ebenfalls nicht wahnsinnig neuen Botschaft. Wahrscheinlich ist aber genau dies auch dafür verantwortlich, dass die deutsche Band erst jetzt ihren zweiten Top 10-Hit feiern darf. Nach ihrem äußerst erfolgreichen Debüt „Supergirl“ im Jahr 2000 waren sie 14 Singles lang deutlich weniger erfolgreich. Am höchsten – nämlich bis auf die 11 – kam in dieser Zeit „Tonight“ vor zwei Jahren. Bandleader Rea Garvey stand zwischendurch allerdings schon mehrere Wochen auf der 1. An der Seite von Nelly Furtado lieferte er zum Jahreswechsel 2006/2007 mit „All Good Things (Come To An End)“ insgesamt 8 x den meistverkauften Titel. Sein letzter Aufenthalt in den Charts war Anfang diesen Jahres in Zusammenarbeit mit Paul van Dyk, dem er für „Let Go“ seine Stimme lieh. Für Rea garvey ist „Through The Eyes Of A Child“ der 20. Titel als offiziell aufgeführter Artist.
Rein in die Top 20 klettert in der zweiten Woche Sido mit „Herz“. Sein Mitwirken in der popstars-Jury kann also tatsächlich auch das Interesse an seiner Musik erhöhen. „Herz“ ist mit der Verbesserung von der 22 auf die 20 der sechste Top 20 Titel des Rappers.
Auf der 23 steigen Deichkind mit „Arbeit nervt“ ein. Ein schöner Elektro-HipHop-Mix mit einer Portion Pop-Appeal. Für mich DER Neuzugang dieser Woche. Für Deichkind ist es der nächste Anlauf zum zweiten Top 20-Titel. Bislang haben sie es nur mit ihrem Debüt „Bon Voyage“ im jahr 2000 bis auf die Position 11 geschafft. „Limit“ stoppte zwei Jahre später nochmal knapp drunter auf der 21. Momentan darf aber noch alles als offen angesehen werden, denn auch die aufgeführten Tracks legten nach ihrem Ersteintritt jeweils mindestens 10 Plätze nach oben zurück.
Zuletzt waren Deichkind gerade letzte Woche notiert mit ihrem Dauerbrenner „Remmi Demmi (Yippie Yippie Yeah)“ standen sie in Woche 18 auf der 96 (Höchstplatzierung 68 im Mai 2006).
Der dritte Neuzugang findet sich kurz drunter auf der 25. Anastacia meldet sich mit "I Can Feel You" nach zweieinhalb Jahren zurück. So richtig überzeugend ist dieses Comeback allerdings noch nicht. War sie doch zuletzt im Duett mit Eros Ramazotti und „I Belong To You (Il Ritmo Della Passione)“ bis an die Spitze vorgestoßen.
Auch nach längerer Pause wieder dabei sind Boyzone. Die irische Boygroup kehrt mit „Love You Anyway“ nach 7 Jahren zurück. Ob dieses Comeback nun als Reunion zu feiern ist oder nicht, scheint streitbar. James Masterton, Chartkommentator der britischen Top 75, meint, Boyzone hätte sich nie aufgelöst. Wie auch immer, in Großbritannien schaffen es die Jungs schon bis auf die 5, in Deutschland reicht es für einen Einstieg auf der 30.
Die 38 ist ein Rückkehrer in die obere Charthälfte. „36 Grad“ von Rhythms del Mundo und 2raumwohnung war Anfang September auf der 28 eingestiegen und danach langsam nach unten getrudelt bis auf die 76. In der letzten Woche ging es dann wieder aufwärts bis zur 70, und in dieser Woche gabs dann den Satz um 32 Plätze nach oben. Auch ohne den neuen Aufschwung ist „36 Grad“ der weitaus erfolgreichste Titel des Berliner Duos. Inklusive Remixe war der Titel seit Juli 2007 bereits 23 Wochen platziert mit Höchstposition 22. Nun kommen noch einmal 8 Wochen in der neuen Variante á la Buena Vista Social Club dazu.
Die 42 gehört Snow Patrol, die mit ihrer neuen Single „Take Back The City“ einmal mehr versuchen, dem Überflieger „Chasing Cars“ einen würdigen Nachfolger hinterher zu schicken. Denn obwohl es nach diesem bereits fünf weitere Titel als Singles gab, darunter auch das sehr überzeugende „Shut Your Eyes“, ist es immer noch „Chasing Cars“, was sich seit November 2006 immer wieder in den Charts hält, das letzte mal in der 49. Woche Anfang Oktober auf Position 90. „Take Back The City“ ist insgesamt der fünfte Titel der Band, der sich in Deutschland platzieren kann.
Auf der 48 schaffen nun auch die Kings Of Leon mit „Sex On Fire“ ihren Einstand in der oberen Charthälfte. Bereits am 26. September enterte der ehemalige Nr.1-Hit aus Großbritannien als reiner Download-Titel die deutschen Charts. Seit der letzten Woche konnten dann auch die Zahlen aus dem CD-Verkauf in die Auswertung einbezogen werden, allerdings ohne den wirklich großen Schub nach vorn, es ging lediglich von der 57 auf die 53. Aber der Titel erfreut sich wachsender Beliebtheit und es ist durchaus möglich, dass auch dieser Titel noch einiges nach oben klettern wird.
Weitere Neuzugänge in der unteren Hälfte sind Marquess mit „Lucia“ auf der 60, Lil Wayne feat. T-Pain mit „Got Money“ auf der 67, die Kaiser Chiefs mit „Never Miss A Beat“ auf der 76, Schlagersänger Nic mit „Es stegt in deinen Augen“ auf der 80 sowie Picco mit „Yeke Yeke“ auf der 100.
