Yan's German Chart Comments - Issue date 25.07.2008

 

This week makes one thing clear - Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" is the 2008 summer anthem. At least in Germany, where the American rocker makes his fifth week at the top of the singles chart. The most surprising movement comes from Leona Lewis, whose superb "Better in Time" climes to #2 in its seventh week. Perhaps the sudden surge in the single's sales may be attributed to the fact that the EURO 2008 is finally over and Germans are beginning to appreciate some initially "overlooked" hits. Two places below her we find another winner of a UK TV contest format in the face of Paul Potts, whose take on Pavarotti's "Nessun Dorma" soars 8 places to enter the top 5. As time has shown - don't underestimate the power of advertising.

This week's highest new entry belongs to Gabriella Cilmi at #6. After having somewhat surprising success in the UK, the 16-year old! Aussie proves that she is able to be a worldwide hitmaker. Well deserved feat if you ask me.

What about the next most notable new entries:

#15 Mia - "Mein Freund". The latest offering from German electropop band Mia turns to be their best charting song so far, beating the #19 peak of "Tanz der Molekuele" (which even re-enters the chart this week). As "Mein Freund" is for me their best song, you'll hear no complaints ;)

#29 Klee - "Zwei Herzen". Similarly to Mia, Cologne-based German band Klee also scores its best performing song so far. Their previous peak has been with "Gold" at #54 in 2005.

As long as the rest of the chart is concerned, it is populated with a lot of odd re-entries (I'm sure there should have been a reason behind most of them, but who knows). It is however good to mention the first time appearance of Lynyrd Skynyrd and his "Sweet Home Alabama". Of course the song's sales are boosted by the #1 placing of Kid Rock, whose hit samples that of Skynyrd. In addition it is always great to see such all time classics as "Time To Say Goodbye" and "Maid of Orleans" in the chart - curious fact is that the first one was the most selling single of 1997 and the second of 1982 in Germany.

 

I read on another forum that some oldies came back because there was a show about the 90s and 00s.
