The year 2012 starts with a slow downed list. As usual the first week only have single new entries – so does this recent. The one and only comes in at number 92. But first – let’s have a look to the most sold singles.
Also at the top nothing new. Australian Gotye holds a second week at number 1 with Somebody That I Used To Know. It is now the most successful Australian track since We No Speak Americano occupied the top spot for seven weeks in late summer 2010.
The list dated on January 6th reflects the sales between December 23rd and 29th–so we see a lot of party tracks rising. Probably it is caused by the search for the right music to celebrate new year’s eve or just to fill the new mp3 player. Most prominent gainer are LMFAO their Sexy And I Know It rises five places to number 8 giving them a second Top 10 hit. It took the duo 10 weeks to find such strong interest and there might be a chance that this success is a more sustainable one.
Rising continously also Michel Teló’s song Nooosssaa! Ai Se Eu Te Pego! – probably a lot of people like to dance Latin American style. It arrives now at number 17. One of the dance favourites of the last months obviously is One Night In Ibiza offered by Swiss Mike Candys & Evelyn Ft. Patrick Miller. The track jumps 83–45. Also the very similar Welcome To St. Tropez by DJ Antoine vs. Timati feat. Kalenna – one of the big hits of the past year – jumps back 64–46. Even the classic club tune Sky And Sand by Paul & Fritz Kalkbrenner jumps back 78–51 in its 91st week. Further gainer of the big party track search: David Guetta featuring Taio Cruz + Ludacris get a re-appearance with Little Bad Girl at 55, r.i.o. Feat. U-JEAN with Animal can rise again 82–62 and also Sak Noel sees his Loca People (What The F**k!) leaping 81–64. Also rising PITBULL feat. NE-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer with Give Me Everything that lands at 68.
Of course also the more romantic songs found a greater interest during the festive days. We see rising Christina Perri with Jar Of hearts. to number 10 and South Korean pianist YIRUMA with River Flows In You enters the Top 20 (probably here the presence of the Twilight movie in theatres supports the interest for the song as well). Further down the charts also Kelly Clarkson sees her Mr Know It All rising 80–54 for probably the same reason.
The last „battle“ show of The Voice Of Germany was aired on Friday, December 23rd and leaves traces inside the list. Most emotional moment was the Sing Off of the Xavier Naidoo team. Most loved performance according to the sales impact was the one by Max Giesinger. He performed Sex_On_Fire originally known from Kings_Of_Leon – the track re-enters the German list for a 10th time at 58. It is the 67th chart week at all. Max Giesinger by the way was chosen afterwards to stay in the show as well.
A day before that was Bobby Bobbs of the team Nena who had the most chances inside the audience. His performed song grenade (originally by Bruno Mars) can take a leap 92–66 in its 50th chart week. Bobby himself had to leave the show.
And now we have a look at the announced new entry. It is a late Christmas tune. Natasha Bedingfield was chosen to cover the train song Shake Up Christmas for the advertisement of an big soft drink company. Remember Melanie Thornton? She did so at the beginning of the millenium and had a huge success still working nowadays. Natasha Bedingfield is not that lucky – the single was avaiable since November. Anyway it reaches the list only now at a very low number 92. Maybe she will have this December another chance.
The actual list is dominated by two artists. David Guetta and Bruno Mars both start the year as most popular acts right now having each five tracks inside the list. Watching the whole Top 100 it is remarkable that a bunch of 16 acts delivers at least two songs each to the survey which is summarized an amount of 44 hits.

Hit making GNTM
It is LMFAO again that gains the crown of the German singles chart this recent week. For a second week the Party Rock Anthem generated most money. Closest competitor was Romanian Alexandra Stan who now is the most successful Romanian chart act since the days of Haiducii narrowly missing number 1 in 2004.
But the stories of the week are related to a TV show:
Highest climber of the week and a new entry into the Top 10 is The Edge Of Glory by Lady Gaga that finally becomes a real hit after the Lady had a TV performance at the final of Germanys Next Top Modell. Before that appearance the track sneaked around the middle field of the list never climbing higher than position 28 – meaning the chart fortunes of Lady Gaga are closely connected to medias in general and mainstream TV in particular. It is Lady Gagas 9th Top 10 hit in Germany – only two singles of her failed to climb that high. One of them was predecessor Judas that only gained number 23 a month ago.
As well Keri Hilson’s Single Pretty Girl Rock is powered by the GNTM final. After her performance at the show she can achieve the highest new entry of the week. Again the German music industry acts completely contrary to the rest of the world. The single was released already 6 months ago. It became a minor hit in the US but missed the British Top 40. Only New Zealand saw the single rising up to number 11 (see statistics here). Having a fourth Top 20 hit in Germany this country seems the place where Keri Hilson enjoys the best popularity.

chart flash 11-24: LMFAO and an omnipresent Pitbull
Finally the Europe wide hit Party Rockl Anthem also enters the number 1 in Germany. US American electro duo LMFAO already had the top spot in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France,Ireland, Switzerland and in the UK (see statistics at acharts.us) – the world charts see them rising to number 3. It took the project six week to get on top – that’s not really unusual. The last track taking more than a month for climbing to Germany’s best sold single was The Time (Dirty Bit) by The Black Eyed Peas that set Germany under fire at the very beginning of the recent year.
It is the very first number 1 hit for LMFAO in German speaking area. They first appear exactly one year ago alongside David Guetta, Chris Willis & Fergie whit the track Gettin’ Over You that spent 27 weeks in the German list climbing up to number 15. In Austria it went to number 4 – the UK saw them shooting to number 1 for the very first time. In 2011 the so far hiatus of their career seems achieved. Follow up single Champagne Showers right now arrived in the UK list – all I can say the mood for another electro smash summer hit by LMFAO seems very likely.
Another steadily rising strong electro hit arrives at number 2 with Give Me Everything – the track presented by all star collaboration Pitbull feat. NE-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer. It is the 7th week for the track in the German list. Will it rise a place further next week?
Pitbull also occupies number 3 alongside JLO. On The Floor spends its 13th week inside the Top 10 and we can name it for sure as one of the big hits of this year.
Pitbull once again: He also appears newly in the chart at Shakira’s latest single Rabiosa where he is featured. Number 26 for the seventh track charting in 2011 with at least a guest appearance of the Cuban-American rap star.
Rising to number 4 Alexandra Stan with Mr. Saxobeat equals the result of fellow countryman Edward Maya from last year. For the first time in German pop history two years in a row see at least one Top 10 hit coming from an Romanian artist. Maybe we have to watch that country as a deliverer of summer dance pop for the next time.
Highest new entry this week is San Francisco the new single of cascada released as a teaser for follow up album Original Me. It is the well known mixture of dance pop – a new tone is the very clear voice of Natalie Horler sothat one really can follow the lyrics. (which is not necessary anyway – bubbly dance pop dream with a reference to the good old times of 1969 ... did we had eurodance music then?)
One last story for today. Recent superstar Pietro Lombardi now tumbles down in the official sales charts also. Call My Name stops at number 7 coming from the top – it is the deepest fall from number 1 since Tokio Hotel touched down to number 7 with Übers Ende der Welt in February 2007. The album chart lists Pietro Lombardi still at number 1 – so all fans of casting pop might be calmed down. The world still turns the right way.

Chart flash 11-19: Jessie J finally arrives + a dance tracks battle
Nothing more boring than an old number one. The press information of media control today is offering exactly this. The number one of the sales week 29th April to 5th May. But everybody knows the new number one of the week just right now going on. It will be Pietro Lombardi the winner of Germany’s casting show DSDS who was voted last Saturday. – I will tell you more next week.
First we have to check the week before Pietro was the new superstar. It was the time when JLO feat. Pitbull ruled everything. They both together had the power of spending a fifth week at the German top spot with On The Floor . It is also unlikely seeing the couple returning to the top. The next event is knocking at the door right now and we will witness a battle DSDS vs. Eurovision Song Contest in seven days time for sure. The battle just started within the press.
Highest new entry storms the list on download sales only. Jessie J feat. B.o.B’s Price Tag was a number 1 hit in the UK already in February. Finally the single is released in Germany also and jumps right to number 3. It is the breakthrough for Jessie J. who had a first medium hit with Do It Like A Dude a month ago. B.o.B now hits the German Top 10 for the second time. His Airplanes featuring Hayley Williams spent two weeks at number 8 in October last year. Usually the physical release causes a boost in sales and a jump within the list. In the case of Price Tag increased sales from 6th May on might led to number 3 again … the company somehow suffers from bad timing in its release schedule.
Two dance floor tracks enter the charts this recent week. The more successful is Party Rock Anthem offered by US American LMFAO – I would name the project as one of the craziest and toughest electro party acts today. The anthem enters the list at number 7. The German definition of party – or let’s take it as the definition of 10 years ago – climbs to number 22 in the figure of Groove Coverage. The project still does nothing else than taking old hits and recording them in a new version including a dance floor beat. With Angeline they really show courage. The original called Lotosblume by German Schlager group Die Flippers found its way to the charts in 1989 and reached number 23. It was at that time a hit attracting mostly elder people. Groove Coverage now tries to convert the melody for a younger audience. I really doubt that it works very well … LMFAO seems much more alive and innovative than Groove Coverage.
