Kraut Sweep: October 30, 2012...

Hey gang, I'm temporarily back online, so while I have the chance I'll post the German music recap for this week.

PSY claims yet another country as "Gangnam Style" takes over at #1 for its first week...

The highest debut at #19 is Scottish DJ/producer Calvin Harris, with "Sweet Nothing" featuring Florence Welch of Florence & The Machine. It's Harris' biggest hit yet as a lead artist, though he has a #1 featured credit on Rihanna's "We Found Love"...

Irish-born singer Rea Garvey, lead singer of the German rock group Reamonn, comes in at #34 with his latest, "Wild Love"...

The Pet Shop Boys are at #35 with the sublime "Leaving". They have topped the German charts four times, the last with their version of "Go West" in 1993...

German rapper Bushido has the top selling album in Germany this week with AMYF, and a track for that set, "Lass Mich Allein" ("Leave Me Alone"), jumps in at #61.

The Rolling Stones are at #64 with "Doom And Gloom" from their upcoming retrospective Grrr. The band has gone to #1 six times, the last in 1968 with "Jumpin Jack Flash"...

Usher debuts at #69 with "Numb", the second single from his latest album Lookin 4 Myself...

The last three debuts are from the Sing um die leben ("Sing for your life") program headed by Xavier Naidoo and Michael Herberger. At #76 is "Du Bist da Fur Mich" ("You Are There For Me"), at #86 is "Dies Muss en Werden" ("This It Must Be"), and at #90 is the theme song featuring Kool Savas...

That does it for this late night....thanks for stopping by and tomorrow I'll have another Song of the Day, 6 of the 60s and this week's Aussie Sweep. Cheers!
