After displacing Madonna from the top of UK's album charts there are also good news from Germany. With 100,000 sold copies "Jumping All Over The World" won a Golden Record award!
next to this there are three more dates for the "Jumping All Over The World" tour. This summer you can celebrate for thr first time ever in Germany Scooter concerts as an open air.
They did it! Scooter climbed to the top of the UK album charts and displaced Madonna. Please read this comment by Scooter's UK label All Around The World (AATW) regarding this amazing success:
"In one of the biggest weeks in the history of AATW it is our great pleasure to announce that the new Scooter album, Jumping All Over The World has gone into the artist album chart at #1, knocking one of the most successful female artists of all time, Madonna, off the top spot in the process. An unbelievable achievement for HP, Rick, Michael and Jens but one that is richly deserved, a view that I'm sure will be shared by anyone who saw the guys performance on the Clubland Live tour. Scooter goes way beyond the average definition of a dance act and testament to this is their lasting appeal which has seen them release records to 3 generations of dance fans across the world and become the most successful act of all time in their native Germany.
As if that wasn't a big enough result for us Clubland Classix is also still sat at the top of the compilation chart meaning AATW have the #1 Artist & Compilation albums this week, a first for any UK Dance label and one which should hopefully firmly send home the message to the media and beyond that commercial dance music is still well and truly alive and kicking all across the UK.
There will be those that will no doubt move to scoff at Scooters success. There are many in the world of dance music and in the wider music industry who have an unhealthy obsession with worrying about being seen to be cool and trendy. All I would say to those people is that dance music exists on many levels, each quite seperate but ultimately interdependent on the others. Whilst people from either side of the fence may choose to cast scorn on the others tastes, both sides should be grateful for any success as it is a boost for dance music as a whole. Remember that the media in recent years has sought to marginalise all forms of dance music saying that people don't want to buy it, listeners aren't interested in it and its not relevant to todays youth.
If this was so true why do tens of thousands of us flock to Ibiza year on year? Why did the Clubland Live tour manage to sell out venues on a scale that holds equal comparison to Take That, The Killers and the Spice Girls? Why are dance compilation albums of all genres consistently at the top of the compilation chart? How did Cascada manage to sell one million albums in under a year and how has Scooter managed to knock the worlds biggest female artist off the top of the album chart? The sales figures are now there for all to see, if the media still wants to pretend that the UK population has no interest in dance music then I hope their listeners, viewers and advertisers will vote with their feet. Rest assured that regardless of what anyone with delusions of self importance thinks, AATW will continue to push the music and the artists that we and a large section of the public audiences clearly love."
