ASIN: B000MEYIBQ

 

Chart Run: 1-5-5-9-11-17-21-25-37-43-57-58 [12 wks]

 

Although Herbert Grönemeyer releases singles since 1984 he first reached the top spot only in 2002 with Mensch. He had several chart toping albums though but he made a break from music in 1998 because of the sudden death of his brother and shortly after his wife. 2002 was his comeback year with new material and so Mensch has become his biggest hitsingle so far.

Lied 1: Stück Vom Himmel is his 3rd number 1 single in Germany. The song stayed at the top spot only for 1 week but stayed in the top 10 for another 3 weeks.

De Höhner (Kölsch for The Chickens) are a German band. They sing in the local dialect of Cologne, Kölsch, not standard German.

The group was founded in 1972 by Peter Werner and Janus Fröhlich. During their first year, the band would wear chicken costumes, and throw real feathers into the audience.

They are particularly successful in the area around Cologne, and in the Rheinland, although they are known in other parts of the country too. The band is famous for performing at the Cologne carnival. Their most popular carnival songs are Echte Fründe, Pizza wunderbar, Die Karawane zieht weiter and Viva Colonia. - Wikipedia

 

Wenn Nicht Jetzt, Wann Dann? was the official WCH-song of the German Handball team in the World Championships in Cologne, Germany. In the end Germany won the World Champs against Poland, and the Official song of the team went on to become this year's biggest hits in Germany though the single spent only 1 week at the top of the Official singles chart.

Apologize has spent already its 5th week at the top and who knows how long it'll stay there in the new year.

Say It Right was robbed. That DJ Otzi song is awful, cant believe it was the song that kept it off the top. Prison Break song is bad, so is Hey There Delilah.

On the other side, some great #1s from Nelly Furtado, Monrose, Culcha, Alex C, Rihanna (both) and Timbaland.

Interesting list of No.1's! Awful to see DJ Otzi with the biggest hit of the year though...the biggest shock is that Crazy In Love only reached No.6 in Germany :o
