Musical update

I think we've mentioned before how often we hear Bryan Adams on the radio here. So I picked up a free weekly outside the train station today, opened it up, and there was a big article about none other than...Bryan Adams! He's evidently got a concert coming up in Zurich, for which tickets run a mere 80 francs ($67) for seats or 60 francs (a steal at $50) to stand.

Speaking of '80s stars you never thought you'd hear from again, remember Nena of "99 Luftballons" fame? (Which, incidentally, ranks right up there with "Der Kommissar" on the list of great German '80s crossover hits.) Well, she's back with a hit album. Or maybe she remained popular here. Anyway, it's been awhile, but here are the latest top 10 songs according to Radio Basel 1:

1 Daniel Powter - Bad Day
2 Good Charlotte - I Just Wanna Live
3 Mario - Let Me Love You
4 Skye Sweetnam - Tangled Up In Me
5 Nena - Liebe Ist
6 Melanie C - Next Best Superstar
7 Fettes Brot - Emanuela
8 Gwen Stefani feat. Eve - Rich Girl
9 Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten
10 Natalie Imbruglia - Shiver
