Am 4. März 1970 kam ein Lied in die deutsche Hitparade, das bis auf Platz 1 empor schnellen und zum Bestseller des Jahres werden sollte: "Du" von Peter Maffay. Damit begann die steile Karriere des kleinen Sängers und Gitarristen aus dem rumänischen Kronstadt. Eine Karriere, die bis heute weitergeht. Früher war Peter Maffay als Schnulzensänger abgestempelt, bis er 1979 mit dem Album Steppenwolf zeigte, wo künftig sein Rock-Weg hinführen würde. Dass er inzwischen mit Kindermusicals wie Tabaluga Edelmetallauszeichnungen einheimst, dass er mit Musikern aus aller Welt Ethnopop und Multikulti-Rock einspielt, tut seinem inzwischen gefestigten Image als deutscher Super-Rockstar keinen Abbruch, im Gegenteil.

Station to Station is the 10th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 23 January 1976 by RCA Records. In early 1975, Bowie moved to Los Angeles, California to shoot a role for Nicolas Roeg's film The Man Who Fell to Earth. His role in the film would heavily influence him and his next onstage persona for the rest of the year. Having developed an addiction to cocaine the previous year, Bowie's mental state deteriorated rapidly during his time in the city, affecting numerous personal relationships. The commercial success of his previous album Young Americans (1975) allowed him greater freedom when he began recording his next album.

Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), also known simply as Scary Monsters, is the 14th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 12 September 1980 by RCA Records. Over the previous three years, Bowie had garnered massive artistic success with the "Berlin Trilogy", which consisted of Low, "Heroes" and Lodger (1977–1979). However, the trilogy had proven less successful commercially. By 1980, numerous artists Bowie had inspired with the trilogy were out-performing him commercially, leading him to desire a more commercial sound for his next record.

Hoewel het album volgens velen amateuristisch was (zo noemde auteur David Buckley, die het boek Strange Fascination – David Bowie: The Definitive Story schreef, het een "knip- en plakplaatje uit de zesde klas"), was het het eerste Bowie-album dat in Engeland op de eerste plaats terechtkwam sinds Tonight uit 1984. Tevens was het zijn zevende album die op nummer 1 binnenkwam in de albumlijsten, iets dat geen enkele artiest heeft gepresteerd.

Swedish popster Johnson's debut is rooted in classic radio tricks: big sweeping choruses, crisp production, catchy tunes. But there's not much depth to the songs, nor much to his voice. It's pleasant enough modern rock, equally forgettable and disposable.
