German comic troupe Keule debuts on the chart at #55 with "Ja Genau" ("Exactly"). It's one of four entries this week from the German "song competition" Bundevision, which is like the international Eurovision but has one entry per German state. They placed fourth at Bundevision for the East German state of Brandenburg...

Dance act R.I.O., from Cologne, are in at #58 with "Komodo (Hard Nights)" featuring U-Jean. It's my "German Pick of the Week"...

 British rapper Dizzee Rascal enters at #65 with "Something Really Bad" with will.i.am. It follows his first top-40 lead-artist hit in this country, "Goin' Crazy"...

German rapper DCVDNS, from the southwestern city of St. Ingbert, pops in at #70 with the hilariously-titled "Eighentlich Wolte Nate Dogg die Hook Singen" ("Nate Dogg Really Wanted To Sing The Hook"). They represented The Saarland state on Bundevision...

Dutch symphonic rock group Within Temptation storm in at #81 with "Paradise (What About Us)" featuring Tarja. in the "naughties" this group had seven consecutive top-40 hits in Germany..

De Fofftig Penns are in at #83 with " Löppt " ("It Works"). They were the Bundevision entry from the northern state of Bremen...

The final entry at #89 is the Bundevision entry from the most northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, "Es Geht Bis Zu Den Wolken" ("It Reaches Up To The Clouds") by Luna Simao...

That's it for tonight..I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, 6 of the 60s is back, and I'll check out what going Down Under on Aussie Sweep. Cheers!
