October 27, 200816 yr Yan's German chart comments - Issue date Oct 24 No considerable changes in the top places of the German singles charts this week, with Pink continuing her Europe-wide domination with "So What", which turned out to be her best single so far. Just before the release of the "Funhouse" album, the song makes its third week at the top. She is once again challenged by Amy MacDonald, who climbs 3-2. Still I think that "This Is The Life" would be one of those songs, staying in the top three for ages, but never managing to conquer the number one spot. Interesting things happen at the number 4 position, where German band Polarkreis goes up from #8. As this is the second week of the track in the top 100, I guess we'll see more action towards the top from the guys. Just to prove that they still can do it, German band Reamonn scores the highest new entry of the week. Surprisingly "Through the Eyes of a Child" turns to be only their second single in the top 10 after the 2000 smash "Supergirl", which peaked at #4, becoming one of the hits of that year. During their consistent career they've actually never reached the first ten places again, with only "Tonight" coming close with its #11 in 2006. #23 Deichkind - "Arbeit nervt" is the title track from the latest album of Humburg hip hop group Deichkind, whose biggest hit is the great "Bon Voyage" (peak #11) from 2000. Their last single "Remmidemmi (Yippie Yippie Yeah)" was released in 2006 but still regularly visits the bottom end of the Top 100. #26 Anastacia - "I can feel you". As the latest offer from Anastacia is quite uninspired compared to her previous singles, no surprises that she is having problems reaching the top 20. Anastacia has such classics on her account like "I'm outta Love" and "Pay my dues", and of course her #1 duet with Eros Ramazzotti. #30 Boyzone - "Love you anyway" - Boyzone may have been quite popular in UK, but looking at their German chart history one may be surprised that they have only three top 20 hits in the country, with "No matter what" being the biggest of them. At least compared to NKTB their comeback is not a complete flop.

October 28, 200816 yr Yep, it's #1 in next week's chart. The German chart can be so predictable sometimes ;)
October 31, 200816 yr Wow, this is really stupid but I only just found this bit of the forum. Great stuff, thanks guys. I wonder why Amy has been so big in Europe and not so much in her native UK. Also nice to see re-entry for Yves Larock on the singles - should have been huge last year.
