Yan's German Chart Comments - Issue Date August 22

 

The Boys of Mannheim End Kid Rock's Reign

 

After staying for whole two months at the top of the German singles chart, the time for Kid Rock to surrender has finally come. Despite that Kate Perry, whose worldwide smash "I kissed a Girl" debuted last week, seemed the most obvious candidate for the #1, that honour goes to Soehne Mannheims, one of the best German groups around. "The sons of Mannheim" is a project around local megastar Xavier Naidoo and has already scored massive hits in the form of "Geh' davon aus" and "Wenn ein Lied", both peaking at #2 and staying in the top 10 for ages. The new song is taken from the forthcoming MTV Unplugged for the boys, who this time are also joined by the vocalist of the popular in the 1990s German band H-Blocks. Nevertheless we should not underestimate the chances of Kate to take the sons down in the next week .

 

And let once again pay attention to the steady climb of Amy MacDonald, as it is always tremendous joy to see a great song, which no one expects to chart high, prove everyone wrong :yahoo: .

 

As I didn't manage to write any comments last week, Sarah Connor, the prima of the German pop mucic, should not be overlooked this time. "Under My Skin" joins her collection of top 5 singles, which also include "Let’s Get Back to Bed Boy", "From Sarah with Love" and many more. The song may be nice, but she has yet to convince me of her ability to release anything better than her wonderful debut :wub: album...

 

It is also great to see that Duffy's second single manages to advance two spots in its second week and is still in the top 20. One-hit wonder she is not!

 

#23 Schiller mit Lang Lang - "Time for Dreams" - For all the lucky ones who have listened to Schiller's latest album (I strongly recommend it!), it is no surprise that the famous DJ scores a top 30 single. However, "Time for Dreams" is not part of the said album but has become famous after being used by ZDF when broadcasting the Olympics. Of course Schiller is no stranger to the chart, with club classics such as "Das Glockenspiel", "Ruhe" and "Dream of You".

 

#26 Verve - "Love is Noise" - Believe it or not, the comeback single of the British band becomes its best charting single in Germany! Yes, all-time classics like "The Drugs Don't Work" and "Bittersweet Symphony" peaked at only #87 and #37, respectively...

 

#27 Terenzi - "Billie Jean" - Speaking of Sarah Connor, we have also to welcome her hubbie in the chart, as Marc Terenzi's take on Michael Jackson's classics comes in at #27. Marc's biggest solo hit has been "Love to be Loved by You", reaching the top 3 in 2005. And as some of you may remember, he was part of the boy band Natural, which have several minor hits in Germany, the best of which was "Just One Dance", a collaboration with Sarah herself...
