Kraut Sweep: October 1, 2013...

It's time to cross the border over from France to Germany for this week's recap of the songs reaching the official sales chart this week...

And after ten weeks of Avicii dominance we have a new sales champ in this country as American singer Jason Derulo comes in at the top spot with "Talk Dirty". It's his first #1 hit here out of four top-10 singles...

Avicii can take solace in the fact that two of his newer songs make the singles chart, with "Hey Brother" leaping in at #24...

Neo-metal band Linkin Park and DJ Steve Aoki pair up at #27 with "A Light That Never Comes". It becomes their 20th top-40 hit in Germany; five of those have made the top-10, with "Burn It Down" reaching #2 last year...

French dance act Klingande arrive at #30 with "Jubel"...

Berlin country-punk band BossHoss reached the country's top-10 with "Don't Gimme That", and were a mentor on The Voice in that country, and they're back at #31 with "Do It", my "German Pick of the Week".  (You can check out the full video by clicking here)..

It's fitting that the turd that's Britney Spears' "Work Bitch" misses the Top 40 and comes in at #41.

Norwegian hip-hop duo Madcon follow-up their top-10 collab with Kelly Rowland, "One Life", with "The Signal" at #54...

German rapper Eko Fresh pops in at #56 with "QuotenTurke". He is from Turkish heritage...

The other Avicii track to enter the chart is his "Addicted To You" at #71...

German rapper Mo-Trip, whose family is originally from Lebanon, arrives at #80 with "Guten Morgen NSA" ("Good Morning NSA") featuring Elmo...

German medieval metal (yes, it's a thing) band In Extremo is in at #81 with "Feuertaufe" ("Baptism Of Fire")...

Singer/songwriter Bonnie McKee brings her banal "American Girl" on the chart here at #82...

Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis jump in at #89 with their "viral video" hit "The Fox"...

Austrian singer Christina Stürmer comes in at #97 with "Ich hör auf mein Herz" ("I Listen To My Heart"). She's had a dozen top-40 hits here, with 2005's "Ich Lebe" reaching the top-10 at #4...


The final entry of the week at #100 is American rapper Kid Ink with Chris Brown with "Show Me"...

That's it for tonight...I'll be back tomorrow with another song of the day, 6 of the 60s returns, and I've got this week's musical trip Down Under on Aussie Sweep...
