You know earache, there is a long history in the French singles chart with identical songs. In 1985, Opus and Stargo were both in the top 10 with "Live Is Life", or in 2004 when O-Zone and Haiducii shared the same "Dragostea Din Tei" (they are just two examples, I'm sure you can find others...).

And in Germany, we have got the same thing going on with I Follow Rivers: The version by Lykke Li is dance/indie pop, while the version by Triggerfinger is folk/accoustic...

The song that is having ariplay is Alexis Ferrari there are hundreds of version on the web of the song labelled as if it was a recod by Michel Telo but when you play it it is Alexis. But there is a Michel Telo version which sounds more traditional MPB... here you have the link to listen to MIchel Telo's version

In East Europe Alexis Ferrari's version is the one getting airplay.

There is another brazilian song getting airplay in Europe and latin america now: Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quera tcha (Tchu Tcha Tcha)...

I follow rivers FINALLY got into bigger markets, after been played and reched top places in Rumania, Bulgaria, Greece... I hope it has a chance to reach the World Chart Show...

you're welcome, it is a very catchy tune... so all of a sudden brazilian popular hits are taking over control the charts around the globe.

im not sure if its cute hehe, i loved ai se eu te pego and balada from gusttavo lima but this bara bara... find this rather annoying . by the way "bara bara " in polish means "jiggy jiggy" - its about sex?

Bara Bara is originally sung by Leo Rodriguez, isn't it?

So there are three versions out currently (Michel Telo, Leo and Alex)

Thanks - again very interesting. It would seem that from the top fifty only Tacabro – Tacatà and C2C – Down The Road have any significant physical sales this week, they are both a few places lower in an otherwise identical downloads-only chart.

It's revealed here that The Look - Metronomy is at 177, while two places lower it's Project X Party Soundtrack - Pursuit Of Happiness.....presumably yet another of these "fakes" that seem to be spreading to more and more charts across Europe!
