HIT: Jamie-Lee Kriewitz - "Ghost"

Jamie-Lee Kriewitz will be representing Germany in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Television viewers made their choice in a casting show - and picked the 17-year-old singer and her song "Ghost".

TIP: Moderat - "Reminder"

The trio Moderat is composed of musicians from the German electronic music acts Modeselektor and Apparat. To get fans revved up for their upcoming album "III", they've released the single "Reminder". The look of the supporting video is reminiscent of a slightly sinister video game.

CLASSIC: Fragma - "Everytime You Need Me" (2001)

This romantic clip is the perfect escape from a dreary day at the office. With "Everytime You Need Me", German dance project Fragma landed in the European charts fifteen years ago. The single was a particularly big hit in Britain and Finland.
