Why is the chart impact of DIST (18,40) considered as a failure here?!
You cannot compete with the unavoidable crap that tops the charts these days (i.e. TV casting group, comedy stuff). Deduct that stuff and DIST did even better in the competition of serious music.
And there is no rule to be in Wetten Dass and top the charts! From the four songs performed on Wetten Dass that night, DIST came in second on the charts. Christina Aguilera did better, Tom Jones and Faith Hill would have been happy to be Number 18!
Being Number 18 first week and fall down heavily the next one is nothing exceptionel. Exactly the same happened to the Number 18 the week before, which was DJ Bobos (crap but famous here in Germany) new entry by than. First week is the fanbase effect. Probably DIST will not have a massive decrease again next week. Will be able to inform (and not spreading rumors, as Garrett called it) about that on Wednesday again.
