For the ones who do not know how to post youtube videos: It is super easy, just copy/past the http link of the youtube page of the music video (for example "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqB18sZfGPQ") into your post. The Citydata software somehow magically does the rest (you can click on preview if you are not sure of the result).

If I may, I would like to post something coming from Germany (I hope Germans don´t mind!)

Sportfreunde Stiller - Ich war noch niemals in New York - YouTube

Sportfreunde Stiller (Germany) and Udo Jürgens (Austria; joining them in 1:29) singing Udo Jürgens' song "Ich war noch niemals in New York".

Sportfreunde Stiller is well known and Udo Jürgens is pretty much a legend in most of the German-speaking countries.

These were some of the biggest hits of 2013 in The Netherlands. All of them are great songs in my opinion.




^ You have to speak Dutch to appreciate the beauty of this song. This girl lost both her parents and the song describes the impact it had on her, using clever wordplays and rhymes.

^ Background: "To celebrate the pregnancy of Radio 538's news anchor Hannelore, radio DJ Ruud de Wild asked singer/songwriter Niels Geusebroek to write a song on the heartbeat of Hannelores still unborn daughter. A week later he performed the song he wrote and he blew the Netherlands away. The song went straight to 1 on iTunes."

Also interesting to note is that John Legend's "All of Me" is a huge hit in the Netherlands (currently #2) even though it only peaked at #52 on the American charts (Billboard). Funny how that works sometimes.
