Die Toten Hosen right now repeat the result of their so far greatest hit Zehn kleine Jägermeister as current hit single Tage wie diese stays for a fourth week right at the Top of Germany’s singles charts. Used by public TV ARD as the main anthem for the EURO2012 the track is heavily supported by media use. So does number 2 which comes right now from Linkin Park. Burn It Down is used by ZDF for the same reason and now is the highest ranking track of Linkin Park of all times. They reached three times number 4 so far. In 2004, in 2007 and in 2009–now the history of the band is re-written.
The current list is covering the time span 15th to 21st of June. In this time the hopes for a German championship seemed realistic. Finale wir kommen (Final we’re coming) by KAY ONE Featuring Shindy tells about that dream. It climbs 54–29. Last Thursday these hopes were smashed by the team from Italy. Probably the KAY ONE song will tumble down in two weeks time dramatically.
Rising also is the Ukrainian band Los Colorados. Its take on I Like To Move It is the second official ZDF-track for EURO2012 promotion. It now reaches the upper half of the list at number 44.
The best performing new songs are alle from the dancefloor. Highest new entry inside the German list comes from Swiss Patrick Miller. So far he is known as the voice of the rap part on recordings by Mike Candys. So far he collected two Top 20 hits within the past 9 months. Now he starts his own solo single Dancing in London. It is a dance infected tune also but falls short of the two predecessors.
The man who made Patrick Miller popular can’t make it that big. His newest offeringSunshine (Fly So High) is even outsold by predecessor 2012. It lands at number 64 so far.
The highest new entry coming from a German act is Feeling So Blue by the Michael Mind Project. It is build around the Eiffel 65 hit from 1999. Landing at number 38 in its first chart week it is the first time since four years that the Michael Mind Project can reach the upper half of the charts again. Singer Dante Thomas seems after a long long break really back in the business. It is already his second chart appearance in 2012.
What else? – Amy Macdonald’s album Life In A Beautiful Day shot to number 1 last week. This issue she has to move to number 2. Instead her single Slow It Down rises again and lands at number 39–which is a new peak for the song after seven weeks in the list.
Steadily rising is Belgian Triggerfinger’s unplugged version of I Follow Rivers. This week the song can stop at number 40. The original by Lykke Li also finds some more fans and rises 10–8 this current week, which also marks a new peak for the song.
Philipp Poisel had a big success at the beginning of this year when his song Eiserner Steg became very popular after being performed on a casting show. Now a further song from his last album gains attention. It is the last track on the album Bis nach Toulouse and it’s called Ich will nur (I Only Want To).It is a very reduced love ballad. As I found out the song isn’t released or scheduled for a proper single release. Instead of that there is a new album announced for August which will be probably partly live. Maybe it is the pre-flurry that let people purchase Ich will nur as a live version on their mp3 players. Number 43 is an impressive start.
Rising also is Reckoning Song / One Day the remix of Asaf Avidans song by Wankelmut. It is new inside the upper half at number 49.
Two years ago Menowin Fröhlich seemed to be one of the big stars of the future. Than he failed in winning the superstar casting contest only becoming the runner up. Last year he released his first single with more or less success. But the interest in the almost superstar fades away dramatically. Now his first album is announced. And almost nobody cares. The single that should tease the album lands at a low number 60. It is called Round ‘N’ Round.
I am actually wondering how often one can release the same sounding song. Marquess already does it with ¡Bienvenido! for the ninth time. Well –the success of the releases so far isdecreasing too. Number 61 for the summer single 2012.
And also Schlager old star Jürgen Drews comes with a new single. Für einen Tag (For One Day) is the newest offering landing at number 62.
Jürgen Drews -- Für einen Tag - MyVideo
Again on TV Die ultimative Chartshow. Although the survey on the most successfull synthie pop hits was aired for the 15th time one live act of the show can manage it to launch its hit again. It’s Faithless that sees its Insomnia again landing at number 79. It is the 55th chart week for the song so far and the 12th time that it re-enters the list.
And finally the song noted for the most times inside the German sales charts Sky And Sand by Paul & Fritz Kalkbrenner this issue leaves the list. Last week it was noted at number 96 in its 115th chart week–now it is really out. Now the song with most chart weeks is Rolling In The Deep by Adele which sits at number 94 in its 77th week.

15-12: DSDS Returns To Power
It is only one week missing for Michel Teló and his hit Nooossaa! Ai Se Eu Te Pego! to match the all time record of being the longest running Number 1 hit in Germany coming from South America. This week the track rebounds to the top sum up its total to 10 weeks there.
After some weak episodes of recent DSDS season the casting show returns to old power. All of the significant moves at the top end of the list are somehow related to the show aired on 31st of March.
The strongest impact comes from a performance by contestant Daniele Negroni which generates an instant Top 5 hit. He staged with Forgive Forget–the recent single of Mando Diao side project CALIGOLA. It storms 26–4 giving the Swedish boys their second Top 10 hit in Germany after Dance With Somebody stalled at runners up position in 2009.
Highest new German production coming in at 13 is the new offering of cascada. Singer Natalie Horler one of the jurors of DSDS. Her dance project uses that advantage and is gonig to bring a new album in shops. Summer Of Love is the official single teaser. All in all it uses heavily well known dance formulas which makes the track a bit boring.
Although Summer Of Love is the highest new German track it is only the fourth most sold German productions. The small “invasion” of the last days emerged a strong presence at the top end of the survey led by Die Toten Hosen and their 30 anniversary single Tage wie diese (Days Like These) at number 6.
A big climber into the Top 20 is Gambling Man by Irish-British band The Overtones. It is used as the signet song for the new launched TV channel RTL Nitro. Right before the start of the channel the band performed on DSDS. As result the single jumps 30–16 in its second chart week.
Further stuff coming from Germany
UNHEILIG released the title track of the album Lichter der Stadt (Lights of the City) as full CD single. The song so far sneaked around as digital album cut. Now it jumps to number 31 in its third chart week. It is so far the second worst performing single of the band. Only the very first single An deiner Seite (On Your Side) released in 2008 before the big success of Geboren um zu leben ranked lower (position 49).
Sometimes it takes a little longer for gaining success. German-Swiss female duo BOY is the lates example of how a TV commercial campaign can bring broader attention. Theiy released their debut single Little Numbers back in September last year. It was highly anticipated by blogs and newspapers. A lot of people added the song to their playlists but the song never made it being a hit. It stalled at number 71 vanishing after four short weeks from the list. Instead the album Mutual Friends rose to number 9 inside the album charts. I guess that’s what one should call a good start. A few weeks ago German airline Lufthansa launched their new TV campaign linking the line with sweet owls and the sound of BOY. With airing the spot demand in the song rose again. Last week Little Numbers re-entered the list at 88 after an half year absence. This recent week the track climbs to number 71 matching the peak of last September.
The longest selling single of now is Sky And Sand by Paul & Fritz Kalkbrenner coming from the movie Berlin Calling. The track became kind of an anthem of recent club life and made the brothers popular even to a mainstream audience. Paul turned that stardom into a number 2 album last summer. Fritz seems much more being a single star. His instrumental club tune WES was spread to the floor last November. It took a long long way for reaching the masses. This recent week it starts officially its chart life entering the list at number 73. Besides the title track the full EP contains also a track called Layer Cake.
Probably the most successfull femal German star is Helene Fischer. So far she sold over 2 million albums, she got her own TV show and her wax copy was raised at Madame Tussauds Berlin in last November. The single for upcoming summer is Die Hölle morgen früh. The song starts at number 74. Usually that kind of Schlager sound disappears very fast.
A significant new European production comes from the singer of a-ha. Morten Harket releases a second album named Out Of My Hands which is in shelves right now. The single teaser Scared Of Heights was released two weeks ago. With bride TV promotion the single lands at number 48 which is the best solo ranking for the Norwegian singer so far.
