[edit] Background
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 8 years ago. In those seven years DJ Ötzi didn't have a top ten hit in any country, except I am the Musicman (No. 1 in Japan) and Sieben Sünden (featuring Marc Pircher). In 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 it debuted at No. 1 in Austria and two months later topped the German charts. It is the reason why "Say It Right", a hit by Nelly Furtado didn't reach the top of the charts in Germany despite peaking at number two for nine non-consecutive weeks.

[edit] Refrain
German:
Ein Stern, der deinen Namen trägt
hoch am Himmelszelt
den schenk ich dir heut' Nacht
ein Stern der deinen Namen trägt
alle Zeiten überlebt
und über unsere Liebe wacht…
Translation:
"A star, which bears your name,
high in the heavens,
I give to you tonight,
a star, which bears your name,
endures through all of time,
and watches over our love…
[edit] Radioplay
The most popular radio stations in Austria and Germany declined to play the song because its genre didn't fit their programme style. The single is one of the few Schlager hits to reach number 1 in Austria and Germany.
