No, it's not a catastrophe! It's just a coincidence! Scooter are the best! (17)

Wow, I can't believe it! The ultimate catastrophe for Scooter. David Doesn't Eat has entered the German Single Charts at #67!

This is the worst chart entry in the history! Where are the people now, who said, that Scooter might have a next no. 1 hit with DDE? This is the beginning of the end, you will see...

Now please be realistic and don't act like fanboys!

Even i have not bought this single, so what? The same track is on the album and a remix is not worth a buy. It's not a surprise.

I don't care, personally. They should have chosen another one, having had so many good ones to choose from. And I don't believe the management knows what's wrong or not.

Yeah, haven't bought it either and won't, since I already have the song (it's on the album) and I'm not interested in that mix. No b-side, no deal...

This is a signature.

That's the problem indeed, due to that also hardcore fans don't all buy it

But even with no b-side and so, I've heard also album tracks enter the single charts when downloaded enough, so it seems just in general people are not so font of the track as it looks. When Scooter makes copies of the past, society moans they never change and have cheesy music, but when they change it seems not to help..........

DDE deserves far higher than #67. I knew it wouldnt be a top 10 hit, but thought it would atleast enter the top 30

I stopped buying cd singles. I guess I'm not the only one.
Last Scooter single I bought was The Sound Above My Hair.

The strange thing is that other artists seem to sell their singles, and I suppose many of them also have 2-tracks only. Thats the strange thing

So maybe the 2-track is not so much the cause, but the style of music Scooter make or so

Oh my god, I have to say this: LOL

When Friends Turbo was released it was the worst chart position of every Scooter single until then and we thought another single won't flop that big time anymore. Then came The Only One and again chartet worse than Friends Turbo and now comes David Doesn't Eat and charts even worse. The 3 poorest charting singles and they've all been released in a row...

Who bets we'll see another single with a sh!tty remix from another artists and no reason for the fans to buy it?

Club Mix and B-Side or stop releasing singles, Scooter!

Thing is that, when you release it on the same day as the album, people who bought the album won't buy the single (cd or digitally), simply because the same track is on the album. They should've released this single like 2 or 3 weeks before the album, and with better promo.
Non fans, who might like it, haven't heard the tune enough before the release. They should have done better promo really. Send it to radio stations before the release, so they can play it, and people hear it. Make a video in time, so it will have rotation on music television. Post samples on the internet earlier then they did. They were late with the promo so people don't get excited enough for this release.

And it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that it's just a 2 track release. Lots of artists release a single just as a single track download with no extras, or maybe just one remix, like Scooter did this time, and they do chart. It's all about promotion and airplay really.

Agree: no b-side, no buy.

Moreover, this single was out at the same time as the album so i just bought the limited edition of the Album and that's all.

thaz right. I see no point to buy the single, because i have a wonderful new ltd. Edition Album with 13 new and very good tracks, a Megamix and a DVD.

And buy the single,only to support Scooter? Sorry i've investet that money to buy a sixpack of beer instead of the single, and drink one bottle every 3rd track.

Whats the result? My best Scooterintoxication in history ggg

The success of a song doesn't depend on the fans only. Even "normal people" must like the tune and buy it to reach a good chart position. There are enough people out there who won't buy the Scooter album BUT if a single song really rocks they buy it and it will climb in the charts. So a good song is needed. Doesn't matter if it is with clubmix, extended, remix or not.

Sure it is very nice feature if there is a full maxi with everything on it, but this wouldn't guarantee a success in the charts

It was obvious it wasn't going to chart well. If you ask me releasing a single on the same day as the album is just asking for trouble. Not to mention the fact that there is no b side / club mix. 95% of people won't buy a single just for a remix on it

If they released it a month ago though I think it would be an entirely different story

True, and the promo isnt as it used to be + airplay was never Scooters strong point, but atleast we had always an early "Viva-play" which now isnt the case anymore. But in general when you dont have famous guest singers like Guetta has, you will easily struggle in the charts when you are a band in the "dance-trance-hardcore" scene. And shows like CLub Rotation arent really shows anymore, so less and less promo possibilities.... so one is more focused on airplay for promo, and in that part Scooter have no luck

Well said. Absolutely my opinion. If Scooter hadn't changed their release policy with the UTROTT-singles, I'd also say: "Okay, no matter what they do, a lot of people don't like Scooter's music anymore."
But there have been obvious mistakes since the release of "Ti Sento" (which was the first Scooter single that was released on the same day with its album) and each following single was a commercial fail no matter what style it was, no matter if it contained a hpv, no matter it contained "modern" house/electro/dubstep influences. So it can't be the style of music taht is responsible for those bad psoitions. And I don't think that people lost their general interest in Scooter in the small period between "Ti Sento" and "TSAMH" - a band who is interesting for more than ten years doesn't lose its attraction within afew months.

I believe the major cause is a release policy that sucks. Late or no promo, videos out on the single release day or after... it's too poor, they need all the promo they can get if they want to chart well.

I agree a 2 track single released the same day as the album was never going to chart well, but maybe it's purpose, with the video, is to promote the album rather than succeed as a single. A 'real' single needs to at the very least be different from the album track, preferably with more mixes / versions and even maybe the video included in the release. I can't imagine the majority of people buying the single in addition to the album, but the video is getting AirPlay, which should help the album

DDE deserves far higher than #67. I knew it wouldnt be a top 10 hit, but thought it would atleast enter the top 30

true. we all knew this, i had a feeling this song would chart not so good, but not this bad

The strange thing is that other artists seem to sell their singles, and I suppose many of them also have 2-tracks only. Thats the strange thing So maybe the 2-track is not so much the cause, but the style of music Scooter make or so

again it all depends on the song and if people like it, scooter took a risk and failed so far

i have to agree, the promo these days is really bad, and does not help at all, also i cant see the logic to release an album and a single together, everyone will but the album, also the 2 track was a bad choice not even a b side, on this note, no real extras on the single, so it all looked real bad their

but a few points to remember

now the single has actually charted, people will notice, this should have a good effect if the song is like, same for the album, we can only hope for a climber now, in terms of top ten, their is no chance, only a chance to hope it can climb a bit now, but it could go well if it becomes popular.
also the single is out so this will also be noted as it is in the shops to buy
