Good to see Take That enter at #14 on the album chart despite 'Greatest Day' only reaching #27!

 

Disappointed with Greatest Day on the German chart - I think the only big hit they've actually had in Germany was Patience (thankfully my favourite). Still I'm sure if a great song like RTW flopped there Greatest Day didn't really stand a chance did it?

RTW got to #15 in Germany I think - Not the greatest of successes but not a total flop.

'Beautiful World' was a success in Germany though and sold around 400,000 copies :)

I didn't know they'd sold that many copies of BW in Germany - I thought it was nearer 250,000. Thanks!

Who the hell are Ingrid Michaelson and Nina Kristin? Nina Kristin's song is a total rip off of something else, not sure what. The IM song sounds OK but I guess it's a growe...

Ingrid Michaelson (born 1979) is a New York-based indie-pop singer-songwriter, probably best known for her single "The Way I Am." Her music has been featured in episodes of several popular television shows, including Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill, as well as in Old Navy's Fall 2007 Fair Isle advertising campaign.

Nina Kristin is a german singer, also featured in a german soap opera. That's all I could find about her. :)

Yan's German chart comments - Issue date 12.12

 

Apart from two considerable jumps in the top 10, there is not much going on in this week's German singles chart. The highest new entries come in outside the top 20, with only some Christmas-themed songs making impact for yet another year. So that leads us to the fact that Katy Perry is still #1, for a second consecutive week. One of the biggest challenges comes from Bushido and Karel Gott, who finally (after a physical release actually) manage to make a big splash in the chart by jumping #34 - #5. The moment I heard the song I knew it was going to be massive though the entry outside the top 30 was disappointing. However now everything is in order, and "Fuer immer jung" becomes Bushido's second biggest hit so far after "Alles verloren". And the song is just a position behind the #4 peak of the classic it is based on - Alphaville's "Forever Young", and also marks the highest ever position at which Czech singer Gott has been in Germany. That happens 41 years after his first appearance in the countdown. :cheer:

 

Despite the considerable jump of Bushido, I guest that the song at #6 has far greater chances to attack Katy at the top next week. Yes, the next children song is already a hit as shepherd Heinrich moves 8 places in his second week in the Top 100. Is the year going to end with sheep at the #1? It after all started with bunnies there... :thumbup:

 

To those following the German charts would be no surprise that Wham!'s "Last Christmas" is once again in the charts around this time of the year. And it seems it grows more popular and popular. Seriously is there anyone who still haven't got a copy of that? :huh:

 

And let's pay a little attention to the two biggest new entries at #27 and #28. I've already written that the latest album of Monrose has not been received with the same excitement as before and so no surprises that the third single taken from it misses the top 10. It also becomes the first song of the girls outside the top 20. A shame as it is a good song, but I'm not too optimistic about the group's future. A position below the girls comes in the newest offer of Alex C under his "Y-ass" project. The song is once again provocative as "Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt", the video is hot, but it's more or less the same as the previous singles. Perhaps it's time for the recipe to be changed.

 

Speaking of the end of 2008, I guess the year-end charts would appear quite soon... :yahoo:
