Im not sure about this. If you call Type O Negative a Gothic Metal band, Paradise Lost are not the most sucessful one. Type O Negative even recieved a platinum certification in the US.Varkung wrote:1. I am.
2. neither Evanescence nor Rammstein are metal bands.
3. sure, the elite (Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, even Nightwish) is and always will be out of reach to Paradise Lost, but they come close, i think.
what's sure is they are BY FAR the most sucessful and best known Gothic Metal band in the world.
i am pretty sure that of all the metal bands in history, Paradise Lost are among the 20 bands that sold most in their career and sure are one of the most influential bands ever (for they invented and created what we know as Gothic Metal today).

Type 0 comes as #2 i think, yes. for they sold much better in the US (at last, they are an American band), but never as much as PL in Europe.DarthWerder wrote:Im not sure about this.

The only german artist who sings in english i saw being played on radio were Stanfour and being successful in there, the other artists at best make an appearance in the bottom of the chart for max 2 weeks.theArmy wrote:I don't get it how Mandy isn't in the Radio top 100 chart

Well, last week we had Roman Lob, Ivy Quainoo and Stefanie Heinzmann in the Top 30, plus Rea Garvey in the Top 50.naughty wrote:The only german artist who sings in english i saw being played on radio were Stanfour and being successful in there, the other artists at best make an appearance in the bottom of the chart for max 2 weeks.theArmy wrote:I don't get it how Mandy isn't in the Radio top 100 chart

Though Roger Cicero isn't that well known anymore. His popularity steadily decreased since his ESC-performance a few years ago.AshDeluxe wrote:Well I guess that depends on who you're asking. Album acts like Roger Cicero are surely better known than singles acts like Flo Rida.

Of course they are. I didn't say that Cicero was the most famous of all artists. There's just more people who know him than who know Flo Rida. It was an example.Timmy94 wrote:Though Roger Cicero isn't that well known anymore.

I think there are other album acts that are better known like Silbermond, Rosenstolz or Andrea Berg.

The album will increase in the next weeks thanks to Eurovision hype, so i don't worrystevyy wrote:humble dive for roman lob this week. #20 isn't that bad at the second week.
Then why Switzerland didn't get any points from Germany in Eurovision final last year?pacadi wrote:that's logical. the winner came from swiss, so all swiss people voted for himn, but they don't buy his song in germany.Rihab95 wrote:By the way, the second-placed of DSDS is charting higher than the winner right now.
What a fail, that show is done now, thank god.

Are you being serious? What other promo do you need than being on Eurovision in a few days?Timmy94 wrote:The huge jump 31-8 was in the week after the ESC representing the sales of the week before the show (Was there some promo? I don't remember...)

It was #8 for two weeks - containing the sales of the week before the ESC and the week after (including the event). This seems completely normal to me.Timmy94 wrote:A performance somewhere or anything...AshDeluxe wrote:Are you being serious?

Of course the ESC-hype could've been an explanation, but if that's true, then I wonder why there was no notable increase in the week of the full ESC-exposure or the whole week effected by that (when it fell to No. 26)...
