In German only, sorry for the others. It is great that they go on top of the charts with every album here...

Good news indeed...and I see an arena concert in the future of Germany ;-)

Our own Rolling Hansie?

. no.2 is One direction

no.3 Robbie Williams

You mean the Stones moved David Hasselhoff off the top of the German charts?

Shocking! Simply shocking!

Rolling Stones Uber Alles!

this is easy, if you sell 2500 copies the first week, you'll number one in germany...

As far as I know, Germany is a very important market for music industry and beeing No1 means a lot ....

And keep in mind that Superdeluxe was 39 Euros for weeks on amazon.de This would make sales x5 or x6. Pure math, I guess

An arena show in Germany would be great. I'm hoping for the Festhalle in Frankfurt.
Would kinda be my second Stones at the Festhalle, as my mum went there in 1982 three weeks before I was born. ;-)

Don't Germans make music?

I can only think of Kraftwerk (who I like very much).

Mmmh, well, we have some international known acts:

Nena
Tokio Hotel (heard they became famous in the US)
Nina Hagen
Scorpions ()
Kraftwerk
Rammstein (of course)
Tote Hosen
Scooter (of course again)

At least I´ve heard, they are known outside Germany ....

And yes, my mother loved D. Hasselhoff back in the 80s .... I remember going to the record shop in 88 just before christmas: got myself a Stray Cats-LP (cool) and for my mum DH (I felt a little ashamed about that one)!

Wait, you mean to say that Danish listen to that Austrian music? I didn't even know anyone knew him outside Austria... He used to be a (good) skier, actually... A friend once got his phone number by chance and we called him one night, really drunk...

Krafwerk are top. one of the best concert in my life at the olympia, Paris.

I remember Can / Irmin Schmidt, they wer famous in the 70's.

There are German acts in popular music, but I normally do not like them, since pop and rock are tied to the English language. I do not like Italian pop either, although I like Italy. Best German entertainment music was done in the twenties, but it was blown away by the nazis. There are good German Jazz acts and of cousre there are good classical musicians.

I was there to on all three shows first row. Twice on the left and once on the right and everytime the front row had been the same poeple. I remember Bill Wyman was nodding his head and knew us. Yes he can move a little
the best night ever was the 2nd night in Frankfurt. Mick came out with the USflag instead of the German and the crowd was wild from the first moment. I just remember the smell of dope. Those were the times, but they are not worse today anyway.

Well, as a market and reg. crowd attendance, concerts, etc. Germany has by far been the biggest Stonesplace in Europe, - at least since 1970.
