The No Angels, German representatives in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade, have now reached the top ten of the single charts with their entry Disappear. Furthermore, the other contestants in the national final prove to be succesful, too: all of them have reached the charts, some of them even outside Germany.
Disappear is currently at #4 after having entered the charts last week at #12. This means that Disappear is the group's biggest hit since they reunited last year. Furthermore, this year's German entry is already more succesful than Frauen regieren die Welt in 2007, which peaked at #7. The other four entries in the German national final are currently all in the charts – Tommy Reeve was the last one to enter. It is only the second time ever that all entries in the national final reach the single charts (the first time this happened was in 2004). Carolin Fortenbacher made the hugest step this week rising from #71 to #44.
The current standings:
- No Angels – Disappear at #4 (+8)
- Marquess – La histeria at #19 (+1)
- Carolin Fortenbacher – Hinterm Ozean at #44 (+27)
- Cinema Bizarre – Forever or neverat #70 (-26)
- Tommy Reeve – Just one womanat #88
Marquess have also entered the Austrian single charts at #74 now while the No Angels have rised from #63 to #37. La histeria is also at #18 in the Polish single charts and at #82 in Switzerland, where Disappear has entered the charts at #96. Overall, the German entry is currently number 21 in the Europe single charts.
Meanwhile, the No Angels comeback album Destiny has been re-released to include Disappear. After its first release, it peaked at number four in the album charts.
Although Germany is a big four country and therefore directly qualified for the Eurovision Song Contest final on 24th May, the country has voting rights in the first semi final on 20th May, too. In 2007, Germany finished 19th with Roger Cicero and Frauen regiern die Welt.
