I like Ricky Martin, but his Unplugged album doesn't deserve a Grammy for Album of the Year, "Tu Recuerdo" shouldn't win for Record of the Year. But Ricky should win a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Album, that would be nice.

It's still unbelievable that "Ein Stern" is such a smash! I ask myself if the English version "A Star (In The Name Of Our Love)" is getting a UK release and if it would be a hit.

beFour are successful in Germany because they are the third Star Diary band. Previous Star Diary bands were Banaroo and Yoomiii. "Magic Melody" is the official summer dance song of the year 2007, choosen by the German dance studio foundation that includes more than 800 dance studios. Previous summer dance songs were "Chocolate (Choco Choco)" by Soul Control and "Get Up" by Disco Brothers featuring Weather Girls. beFour's next single is "How Do You Do", later this year they're going to release a Christmas album.

Mandy, Bahar and Senna were my favourite Popstars girls, so I was very glad when they became Monrose, but their first two singles (Shame, Even Heaven Cries) were only nice, nothing more. I'm much surprised that they have turned into a cool group now. Hot Summer is great and Scream is also amazing. I won't forget the world premiere of Hot Summer during the finale of Germany's Next Topmodel. Monrose performed while the topmodels had their final catwalk, that was great! I wish these seven minute version of Hot Summer would have been released on the maxi.

Great for Monrose! This song deserves to be on top. I wish these girls would be as hot as their track.

I can't believe that Tokio Hotel have choosen "Ready Set Go" as their first UK single, it's not their best track. "Monsoon" or "Scream" would have been better debuts.

I think there could be a different third single for Central Europe, at least for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. "Reach Out" has been sent to radio stations over here in Germany this week and is intruduced as Take That's third single. I haven't found more information about that yet, but I've heard "Reach Out" on the radio several times. Maybe the record company thinks that "I'd Wait For Life" is not a good single for countrys where English is not the mother tongue.

Oh no, Roger Moore returns to this week's chart. I don't like his cover of "Sweet Dreams". Three Knut songs have charted already. Is Knut also known in the UK? He's so cute, but sadly not his songs. Nelly Furtado won't make it to the top, because Shakira & Beyoncé are going to debut at number 1 next week. This week's physical top ten: 01 02 Nelly Furtado 02 03 DJ Ötzi & Nik P 03 06 Mika 04 04 Ville Valo & Natalia Avelon 05 05 Avril Lavigne 06 01 Tokio Hotel 07 07 Timbaland 08 08 Justin Timberlake 09 09 Gwen Stefani 10 11 Basshunter 11 NE Chipz 21 NE Oliver Pocher, Nena & Stefan Remmler 29 NE Michael Bublé Like in the UK Chipz are high on physical sales, but flop in the combined chart.

I only bought one single of the No Angels: "Feel Good Lies". That was a really great song! I liked most of their singles, it was nice to hear them on the radio. That single with Mousse T was also a good club track, but sadly not their biggest hit. I don't like "Goodbye To Yesterday" very much. So if this song has to be the best track on the album, the other songs have to be very weak.

I liked her album. My favourite single is "That's The Way My Heart Goes", my favourite album cut is "Wasted Love", this should have been a single. Has "Oxygen" ever been released in Sweden or anywhere else? Hope Marie's new album sounds a bit like Girls Aloud or Sophie Ellis Bextor.

Next week will be Sarah Connor's big week. Single and album are going to be top ten.

Thanks for these Eurovision infos, Fresh! So Ralph Siegel and Stefan Raab each produced three Eurovision songs that reached Germany's top ten. Nicole is still the best, followed by Dschinghis Khan. I like Roger Cicero, but in my opinion he's not the right choice for Eurovision this year. Monrose are still successful in this week's chart. Didn't suspect "Even Heaven Cries" to be such a smash!

As far as I know there's no real clip for that Höhner single, only a weird live video. Nobody thought their handball song would be such a smash. It really sounds like the other Höhner songs. I guess you have to like carnival to enjoy their tracks. That awful Bundesvision Song Contest changed this week's chart very much. I don't like this show, but I'm happy that Oomph! won instead of Jan Delay or Kim Frank.

It's a handball song on top. Germany won the World Cup a few weeks ago and now the handball anthem is at number one.

Unbelievabe that a German song charts at no. 08 in France! Tokio Hotel's album "Schrei" has already sold 50k in France and it's successful in Russia, too. I can't wait until Tokio Hotel's first English album is released on Interscope in May for the US and the UK market. I never believed that Sarah Connor and US5 could be successful in the States and so it sadly happened, but I really think that Tokio Hotel could be big around the globe in 2007.

Break Me, Shake Me. I didn't know that "Tears of Pearls" was a single. I liked it very much on the album, but I've never heard it on the radio.

I think she has an amazing voice. I like her singing more than her songs. The only single I've got from her is "Skin On Skin". Her current single "The Best Side of LIfe" is nice. I hope she returns with a brand new album this year.

The original version of Cascada's "Everytime We Touch" reached around no. 80 in august 2005. This re-relase is the new version of "Everytime We Touch" for 2007, but the German single also includes the original version that has been successful in the States and in the UK.

Nelly Furtado also got the no. 01 album this week. Monrose fell to no. 02, Yusuf Islam is still successful at no. 03.

It's never a good decision to start your career with a cover, like Joana Zimmer did. She has a great voice and covered a good song, so this had to be a hit. But since then her following singles (original songs) flopped, because they are indeed boring. She might get the chance for a third album, but after that she will be dropped.
