CHART REFLECTION. Drummer Samuel Giers will no longer be part of the alternative rock band Mando Diao according to its home page. The group released its debut album Bring ‘Em In back in 2002, but the rootsdates back to 1995 with the band Butler.
Samuel Giers says that it wasn’t his decision, referring comments to the other band members. The group’s biggest hit to date is “Dance with Somebody” which topped the Austrian singles chart and made it to No.4 on the Swedish singles chart.
CHART SPOTLIGHT. “On the Floor” continues its worldwide success as Jennifer Lopez claims her third UK No.1 in her career. “On the Floor” pushes Adele’s “Someone Like You” to No.2, but Adele continue her dominance on the album chart with 21 and 19 occupying the No.1 and No.2 slots.
Jennifer Lopez previously topped the UK singles chart with “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” (2000) and “Get Right” (2005).
In December, WelcheMusic posed the question if the Swedish producer RedOne could revive Jennifer Lopez career. Sure thing, “On the Floor” has peaked at No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100 (it rebounds 13-10 this week) and raises 7-2 on the latest Swedish singles tally becoming her biggest hit her ever.
