  • Ivo Moring "Ein Stern (...der deinen Namen trägt)" ( "A Star (...That Bears Your Name)") is a song by Austrian singers DJ Ötzi and Nik P. It was released in February 2007 as the lead single from the album Sternstunden. The song reached number one in Germany, where it stayed for 11 weeks, and in Austria despite that at the time of its release, several popular radio stations in Austria and Germany refused to play the song because its genre did not fit their programme style. The song is Germany's best-selling single of the 2000s decade, and it has sold more than two million copies.

Background and release

Seven years after his smash hit "Hey Baby", DJ Ötzi released this single with the Austrian singer Nik P., who had written and released this song under his own name eight years ago. At the end of 2006, a German Schlager artist called Nic popularized a version of Nik P.'s "Einen Stern...", amongst the vacationing German club scene in Mallorca, Spain, where Schlagermusik is particularly popular. One month later, Ötzi recorded this single again and released it. The track debuted at number one in Austria, and two weeks later, topped the German Singles Chart, keeping Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right" at number two for nine non-consecutive weeks.

Spending 106 weeks on the German Singles Chart, "Ein Stern (...der deinen Namen trägt)" is the first song to be on that chart for two years or longer and also makes it the song with the longest run ever on that chart. It was Germany's most successful song of both 2007 and the 2000s decade.
