Posted September 26, 201113 yr It's a fourth week for Marlon Roudette and his "New Age" at the summit of the German singles chart, while Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" stands steady at #2. Video - Marlon Video - Maroon 5 The top three is rounded up by the highest new entry of the week, belonging to German duo Rosenstolz. Anna and Peter's previous album spawned their only number one - "Gib mir Sonne", as well as two other top ten singles. By debuting at #3 the magnificent "Wir sind am Leben" becomes their third top three single and their 11th top ten song. A well-deserved success for one of the best German acts out there. Video The second new entry can be found just outside the top 10, coming from UK singer/rapper Example. After storming the UK charts for the last year and a half, Example's first UK #1 "Changed The Way You Kiss Me" makes more than spectacular entry at #11 in Germany. Video Example, or Elliot John Gleave as known to his friends, is followed in the countdown by what is German legend Udo Lindenberg. The singer, whose career enters a fifth decade, has just recorded an Unplugged session for MTV and the single to promote it "Ein Herz kann man nicht reparieren" arrives at #12. The original version of the song reached #29 when it was first released twenty years ago. The new recording features also Inga Humpe, who is part of the 2raumwohnung project (their "36 Grad" hit even has a brand new 2011 version), and also happens to be a sister of Ich + Ich's Annette... Video Another German new entry docks in at #13. Glasperlenspiel is a new band, whose first single "Echt" will present the Baden-Württemberg state at the forthcoming Bundesvision contest on 29 September (20.15 CET on Pro7). Video Somewhat surprisingly one of the new hits comes from British band Snow Patrol, whose "Called Out In The Dark" shoots itself directly at #15. It thus matches the #15 peak of "Shut Your Eyes", while "Chasing Cars" is the group's only top ten single in the country. I personally didn't expect the guys to be back in the top 20 in Germany, especially in times when the rock music is more typical for the upper reaches of the LP charts. Video At #17 Rea Garvey, most famous as the vocalist of German group Reamonn, releases his first proper solo single and by the looks of it with a considerable success. Apart from his credits for "Be Angled", a Jam & Spoon single that reached #16 in 2001, Rea has never been so high in the top 100 without the support of Reamonn. Oh, and timely, this autumn he will also act as a coach for the "The Voice of Germany", good work man... Video And the remaining new entries with videos and some info: 40. James Blunt - I'll be Your Man - Believe it or not, all released singles of James Blunt have entered the top 50 in Germany. Video 48. Jessie J - Nobody's Perfect - A great song but obviously not a worthy successor to the top three peak of "Price Tag". Video 75. Bosse feat. Anna Loos - Frankfurt Oder - A third single for the German singer in the top 100, and having in mind the success of guys such as Tim Bendzko and Andreas Bourani, it's a shame that he is not charting higher... Video 81. Steve Murano - Passion (Twenty Eleven) - The original version was released in 2003 and reached #76 back then. Video 84. Jamatami - Ma-Ya-Hi - The next TV produced pop band makes its appearance but as the numbers show doesn't need our attention at all. Oh, and it's a cover of O-Zone.... Video - Short 93. The Kooks - Junk Of The Heart (Happy) - A third single for the British group to ever stir the German charts. Video The Album Chart In the album chart we have something which is not happening very often - a number two album to rise and peak at #1. However, after the megasucess of almost every song from the LP, David Guetta's "Nothing But The Beat" makes it and is this week's German best selling album. Red Hot Chili Peppers slip to two, while "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", the latest from Dream Theater, fails to crown the chart as many expected and arrives at #3. The other new entries in the top 10: 6 The Kooks - Junk Of The Heart 7 Katzenjammer - A Kiss Before You Go 8 Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton - Play The Blues - Live From Jazz At Lincoln Center 10 Chris Rea - Santo Spirito Blues Video links active here: http://yantk.blogspot.com/2011/09/german-c...ue-date_23.html
