This is really cool and interesting news for all the fans.

Stuck On Replay extended video 05.03.2010
 The Extended version of Stuck On Replay video is now available at YouTube! You can watch it here. I must say, that I like this Extended Mix of Stuck On Replay much more than the Radio Edit. And also, as you can notice, the length of the extended video is 05:19, much longer than the Extended Mix at Stuck On Replay CDM! I hope that the full length Extended Mix (like in this new video) will get a release too!

Gold, Platinum! 28.02.2010
 Good news for Scooter and their fans! Jumping All Over The World album became Multi-Platinum in Europe (more than 1500000 units sold)! But that's not all! Under The Radar Over The Top album already became Gold in Europe! There are more than 100000 units sold! Really great news! Personally I'm happy for Scooter. I've added this information to Scooter Planet's Wickedpedia too (only Russian version of this source is available). Scooter continues writing their great and successful history.

Stuck On Replay CDM samples 26.02.2010
 You can pre-order the Stuck On Replay single in this MP3 shop. Also you can listen to the samples of all the tracks from this new single! Click here! Also now we know the length of each track and I must say that I'm a bit disappointed about it. The Club Mix is only 03:24 long, Extended Mix is 03:47. And if you'll look carefully at the page with the sound samples you will see, that Ti Sento will be the official goal celebration melody at IIHF's World Championship 2010 and Metropilis will be the official track of World Championship opening! Sounds great, doesn't it? And what about P.U.C.K.? Well, it's hard to judge the track for now, because the sample is too short… but I hope there will be a nice trancy melody in it. The 'cutted' vocal sounds nice and interesting. Waiting for the full version. Oh, and one last thing. The sample of the Club Mix sounds OK. It seems that the sound of main melody of the tune is a bit changed for the Club Mix. It sounds more trancy than in Radio Edit.

Stuck On Replay video 25.02.2010
The new Scooter's video Stuck On Replay is finally on the Net! You can watch it here or here! So what are you waiting for? The video looks almost the same as it did in a preview some months ago, but has a couple of new hockey scenes added. It's simple, but it looks OK. And of course it is good, that we can see not only H.P., but also Rick and Michael in this video. Oh yes, and the beautiful Giedre is included ;)

Stuck On Replay tracklist 25.02.2010

01. Radio Edit

And here's the tracklist of the two track version:
01. Radio Edit

So, the new b-side is called P.U.C.K.. The hockey theme continues. Can't wait to hear this track! I hope it will be a banging tune! Also as you can see, Scooter included Ti Sento and Metropilis in the new single package. I think they want to increase their audience, because this new single will be bought not by the Scooter fans only, but by a hockey fans too. So Scooter wants to tease them with their different tunes. Clever choice. Today we will see the video of Stuck On Replay, so don't forget to visit Scooter Planet to see it first. And now I'm gonna watch the hockey match Russia vs. Canada! Go, Russia, go!

Stuck On Replay cover 22.02.2010
 The official cover of the new Scooter single Stuck On Replay, that will be released on 12'th of March, appeared on the Net! You can see it on the left (click on the image to enlarge it). The cover uses the ice hockey theme, as predicted, because Stuck On Replay will be the official anthem of IIHF's World Championship 2010, if you remember. Right choice for a promotion. It seems that this time we will not only get a two track edition of the single, like it was with The Sound Above My Hair, but a normal CD Maxi too. That means that we, hopefully, will get a new b-side.

Will Scooter perform the WHC 2010's official song? 08.02.2010
 Here's an article published at the official IIHF's (International Ice Hockey Federation) site:
«'I don't participate in any speculations...' is a common saying among public people who want to say that they don't want to say anything. Finally here is a speculation that everybody can join in, namely in the frame of an online raffle on www.iihfworlds2010.com, the official website of the 2010 IIHF World Championship.
The question is...: Who is going to perform the "Official Song of the 2010 IIHF World Championship"?
In order to give some idea: over 25 million records world-wide sold, 23 Top Ten Hits, most successful German group of all times since introduction of the charts. Their sound hammers into the ear like a puck into the goal and the beat definitely gets every ice hockey arena dancing.
Prizes are World Championship Tickets and of course the latest album of the group to be guessed.
Further information, tip form, prizes and raffle conditions can be found on www.iihfworlds2010.com»
As you can guess the band mentioned above is our beloved Scooter. So it looks like one of Scooter's tracks will become the official song of IIHF's World Championship 2010, that will actually take place in Germany on from 7th to 23rd of May. It's yet unknown which composition will be chosen – weather it will be an old track or a new one. So, I guess, for many of us watching of IIHF's World Championship 2010 will become a lot more interesting!
And some more news: it's announced that The Sound Above My Hair single will be released in Britain soon, but only as a WEB release.

House Rockerz, Takomo Percussion and Scooter 25.01.2010
 As soon as there is no interesting news about Scooter, I decided to share a couple of news items that are connected to the band in one or another way.
First of all, it has just come to our attention that House Rockerz DJ Team will be the warm-up band for Scooter during Under The Radar Over The Top Tour. It is easy to guess that those guys will probably play house music. This means that Scooter is still trying to draw their fans attention to such kind of music. First, there was Shake That! single and now we are almost used to getting house-versions of the single tracks instead of the much more preferable club mixes. As for me, I am not quite happy with the way the things are going. I don't really understand what sense does a house style warm-up event have for a Scooter concert. I hope that H.P., Rick and Michael will not decide to make a house-styled album in the near future!
The other piece of news features good-old Am Fenster track from Scooter. As you all know the track itself is a cover version of City songs. And now there is another remake for the same track, but the version of the track subdued for the remake, is the Scooter's one. The guys from Takomo Percussion have performed Scooter's version of Am Fenster, using live instruments. You can see their performance here. I enjoyed this video a lot. By the way the guys also performed such hits as Michael Jackson's Thriller and even Bongo Song from Safri Duo.

Scooter about UTROTT Tour 2010 11.01.2010
 Here's the new video, in which the Scooter guys are talking about the forthcoming Under The Radar Over The Top tour. It's in German, but here's the translation:
«Hello, people! As you see we are Scooter and we have met you 2 years ago in the Zitadelle Spandau in Berlin, but that show was nothing compared to what you all can expect in 2010 on the UTROTT tour trough Europe. This time we’ll play in the Berlin Arena, and that show will be superior to any show you've ever seen before. We hope you all will come and take everyone you know with you, because we need 10.000 people, and that must be relatively easy. See ya! Wicked»

Ferris' depressions 10.01.2010
 The videomaterial published on RTL.de website brought to our attention the fact that Ferris Bueller, who was a member of Scooter from 1994 till 1997, suffers from cronic depressions. It looks like the thing started long ago, when Ferris was the third member of Scooter. He suffered from depressions and that was why Rick, H.P. and Scooter's manager made a decision to terminate his contract. Since then (which means duiring more then ten years for now) Ferris falls into depression every now and then and he finds it very hard to cope with it. He claims that now only antidepressants help him, and that he had no opportunity to take them before. While Ferris was a member of Scooter, he had to put on a happy face, to interact with the press and the fans, and create an image of a happy guy, while he felt empty inside and all he really wanted was to be alone. He claimes that he could not handle his depression and felt like falling into a deep black hole. To tell the truth, I suspected it was something wrong with Ferris a while ago, because even on the modern photos he does not look too well for his age and looks older then H.P. and Rick, while he is younger than them. Ferris also said that a recen suicide of the famous german goalkeeper Robert Enke can make people look at those who suffer from cronic depressions in a different way. It looks like Ferris is having really hard times. We would like to wish him to experience more positive emotions this year. We are Scooter fans and as a conequence, Feris' fans, wish him all the best. Now, when we are aware of his depressions we are really worried about him.

The smart ones and the stupid ones 09.01.2010
 I don't really know whom should I start with: the stupid or the smart ones. I'd rather start with the smart ones, it sounds more interesting. The first issue of the Pop Idol magazine was released in Ukraine. Scooter photo is on the cover of the magazine, and it also has a CD with 10 tracks from Under The Radar Over The Top album as a bonus. What a wonderful gift for the ukranian Scooter fans, and such a nice collector's item! I must admit that by releasing this magazine the ukrainians have done a great job, promoting Scooter in Ukraine.
And now it's time to talk about the stupid ones. There was some foolish guy, who decided to participate in one of the "Germany Has talent"-like programs, and performed One (Always Hardcore). His version came out so funny, and at the same time so disgusting, that no words can describe it properly. You should see it yourselves.
