It's a decent cover of a worldwide known song but what's it doing in the top 100 in germany ? Is it getting released there or something it hasn't had a price drop or anything but saying that there's plenty of british artists in the top 100 just wondering what this old song was doin there :P

And for anyone wanting to know what songs are in there:
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - Coldplay #98
Swagger Jagger - Cher Lloyd #95
Body and Soul - Amy Winehouse #88
Rolling in the Deep - Adele #85
Champaign Showers - Natalia Kills #76

Nobodys Perfect - Jessie J #63
Little Bad Girl - Taio Cruz #39
Set Fire to the Rain - Adele #24
Free - Natalia Kills #21

Many reasons, really. The song could have been used in an advert.
'I Want To Know What Love Is' by Mariah Carey spent a record 27 weeks on top of the Brazil charts because it was frequently used as background music in a soap opera or something like that. It just takes the tiniest bit of promotion for a song to get in the low end of the charts. I always see random tracks popping in and out of the iTunes 100.

Good to see so many British artists in that country's chart!!

Also, Party Rock Anthem should be included, since Lauren Bennett is British. Amazing that Swagger Jagger is in there aswell!! Cher is going INTERNATIONAL now! Good for her!

Don't know why Hallelujah is charting there though. As others said, it being used in an advert is a likely reason. I doubt they'd be officially releasing it there. If they would try and push Alexandra over there, they'd probably release Bad Boys or All Night Long.

Bad Boys got to 14 in Germany. Pretty good with hardly any promo there at all

I was going to include her but felt like she didn't play a big enough part in the song to include her :P
