And my freshest comments. Hope you enjoy them :)

 

So finally it has happened. The reign of the rabbit is over and after two whole months on the top Schnuffel surrenders the leadership and passes the crown to the magnificent Duffy. Though "Mercy" is a wonderful song, I've personally never expected it to be a number one hit outside UK. So cheers to her, she deserves it. Duffy of course follows the footsteps of the record-breaking Leona Lewis who had been number one in Germany before the cute bunny knocked her from the top. As for the Kuschelsong, I wonder how much time Yamba will need to find the next big animal star to stir the charts once again.

The good news for the German top 100 however goes also beyond Duffy as the German duo Ich + Ich enters at #3. For me Ich + Ich are definitely the best which the German music can offer at the moment, so I'm completely delighted with the success of "So soll es bleiben", which is even the third single from their latest album. The first two singles "Vom selben Stern" and "Stark" have already been massive, peaking at #3 and #2 respectively and staying in the top 20 for ages. Check them out, Ich + Ich are great!

Going down to the number seven this week, we find Mariah Carey, who makes a big leap from her #22 debut last week and somewhat keeps the female balance in the top ten after the fall of A Fine Frenzy and Stefanie and the entry of Udo Lindenberg in the big ten. Both Mariah's "Touch My Body" and Udo's "Wenn du durchaengst" are becoming one of their biggest hits in Germany.

Some interesting movements to be seen in the top 30 as Ida Corr and Fedde Le Grant are slowly but consistently registering a new peak week after week, REM's "Supernatural Superserious" is surprisingly still in the top 30, while Seal just doesn't want to go away. I however wonder if No Angels' Eurovision song will still be in the top 50 when the contest finally take place in the Belgrade. As for the re-entry of Take That's "Rule the World", I guess only someone living in Germany will explain the reasons behind it.

And more info on some of the remaining new entries.

#39 Newton Faulkner - "Dream Catch Me" - Following acts like Duffy, Amy McDonald, Leona, Amy Winehouse, Calvin Harris ..., Newton is the next British singer to register a chart success, albeit moderate, in Germany with a understandable delay. "Dream Catch Me" was a hit in his native country in the summer of 2008.

#43 Ben & Kate - "2Herzen" - I have to admit it - I love this song and it's a shame it couldn't chart higher. Ben's biggest solo success are the amazing "Engel" (peak #2) and "Herz aus Glas" (peak #9). Last year he and his girlfriend, Danish singer Kate Hall, recorded several duets, with "Bedingungslos" being the most success with a peak at #16.

#49 Nneka - "Heartbeat" - Nneka is unfamiliar to me hip-hop singer with Nigerian origins. "Heartbeat" is her first ever chart entry.

#65 Alexander Klaws - "Welt" - It's a pity that the first single of Alexander in German flops like that but now the times when the ex-DSDS winner scored huge hits seem long gone. Alexander's biggest hits are "Take Me Tonight" and "Free Like the Wind", both hitting the top spot. Nevertheless he still remains the DSDS (German music idol) winner with most consistent chart history so far. Perhaps Mark Medlock will challenge that?

#68 King Family - "Perfect Day" - I've said when their debut single flopped several months ago and I'll say it once more, the King Family deserve much better than that...

#84 Maria Mena - "Nevermind Me" - "Just Hold Me" is the biggest hit of Maria so far, with a long run in the top 30 and a #14 peak position.

 

That's all folks. See you next week with a new number perhaps ;) :yahoo:

Rule the world re-entered because some guy (well actually the top favourite) sang it on Idol.

 

Oh, I was almost sure that the idols were involved :mellow:

Thanks YanBG for the great commentary! 2 small corrections though:

Well it was 2007 but it must be just a typo :D

Why thanks :blush:

 

But I don't have a girlfriend. I'm gay. :P :lol:

Bump, this is this week's official :P

:angry:

Bump, this is this week's official :P

 

Yes, it's the official chart but very, very unfair!!! 4 Minutes is the best-selling track in Germany at the moment, but the record-label don't allowed to enter the chart until the song is released as a single! That's why the Media Control charts are very unfair!! :angry:

 

But I don't have a girlfriend. I'm gay. :P :lol:

 

and thanx for your outing, Ben... i'm also gay :)

I agree with you. The German chart is not accurate at all. Still I think it would be unfair for the members to see that Madonna is number 1 although she's not in the official chart. I hope you can understand this.

 

I open your thread again.

:angry:

What's number one on the Free German Hitlist isn't always the best selling single in the country. For example the past 2 months, Schnuffel was the best selling single in Germany but was in some weeks not even top 10 in your chart, so this is as inaccurate as Media Control's chart.

AshDeluxe, could you please explain here too how the media control chart is compiled?

How the chart is compiled? Uhmm, that's a bit complicated... What especially do you mean?

 

Media control includes CD sales from record stores, online stores and downloads, too. But downloads that aren't available as a CD-single (yet) are only allowed to chart if the record company wants them to. And in most cases they don't. Apparently they like high entries more than slow climbs from the lower regions.

 

Plus, the chart isn't sorted by sales but by revenue. Although in the singles chart every format is divided by a certain factor so that for example a Maxi-CD ~ equals a single download.

In the album chart the revenue rule has bigger effects, so that an album that costs 15€ needs to sell less than an album that costs 6€ to get into the chart.

Thanks for the correction Ben ;)

 

But I don't have a girlfriend. I'm gay.

 

I just wish that the other Ben was also gay :P
