January 10, 200916 yr Yan's German chart comments - issue date Jan 9, 2009 As Ben mentioned in the last chart thread, no new entries in the current German Top 100*. I personally don't remember that to have happened soon, or even at all. Nevertheless, the lack of new entries is not surprising provided that the chart covers the New Year holiday period. Looking at the countdown it is clear that Germans used to spend their money on the best music which they hadn't bought throughout the year. So as all Christmas-themed songs plummet, a considerable amount of the 2008 year-end chart is being represented in the Top 100. So far I haven't got a chance to mention the relatively low entry of Leona Lewis' "Run" three weeks ago at #18. It's quite a shame as the Snow Patrol cover is clearly one of the best songs around but it at least couldn't beat the #15 peak of Leona's (miserable) last offering "Forgive Me". The 20-29-23 run so far is also not promising for the future prospects of "Run". The Snow Patrol original has never entered the German chart. And last to pay attention on a song, which has been in the chart for three months, but just now manages to enter the top 30. The Last Goodnight is a rock band from USA, whose "Pictures of You" has already been a considerable airplay hit all over Europe, achieving #22 peak in the Europe airplay chart. *Yes, Westernhagen's "Freiheit" is considered "new", perhaps because it is for the first time released on download, but actually it is a song from 1990, when it peaked at #24. ;)
