Music Charts

by PapaScott on 25 April 2005

Noticed looking at the CD charts at the music store today: Of the top 10 albums in Germany, 7 are by German artists, including 5 of the top 6. The only US album is 50 Cent at number 7. Of the top 10 albums in the US, only 4 appear in the German Top 50 at all (2 in the high 40s, just barely making it). So I guess German music really is making a comeback.

I like a lot of the new groups – Juli and Silbermond are really great. And Xavior Nadoo’s Mannheim group is pretty good too. I’d buy an Xavior Nadoo CD, but they all seem to run 20€+. I don’t care, that’s expensive. Even if it is a double CD.

I’ve been wondering if the current increase in good German music at the big labels takes place in order to be able to tell the proponents of a ridiculous “national music quote” that a such is not needed at all.

Awww… that’s only because off all those producers buying their own records… ;)
