Meyer-Landrut decided to take part in the talent show '' Unser Star für Oslo '' , a newly created national television programme to select the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 . The show was organised by public broadcaster ARD and private television station ProSieben , as well as entertainer , music producer and former Eurovision entrant Stefan Raab . From 4,500 entrants , Meyer-Landrut was picked as one of the 20 contestants for the show . Asked about her motivation to apply , she said , " I like to test myself . I wanted to see how I am perceived , and I wanted to hear what people with knowledge have to say about it . I personally ca n't judge myself at all . " After her first appearance , performing " My Same " by British singer Adele , Meyer-Landrut received much praise from the show 's jury panel and was instantly considered the favourite . The following week , Adele 's " My Same " entered the German singles chart at number 61 . Meyer-Landrut reached the final of '' Unser Star für Oslo '' , mainly performing lesser-known songs by international artists The Bird and the Bee , Kate Nash , Paolo Nutini and Lisa Mitchell . Of her eight cover performances , five of the original songs subsequently charted in Germany , with all but " Foundations " reaching their peak chart position . In the final , on 12 March 2010 , Meyer-Landrut sang three songs specifically written for the contest , " Bee " , " Satellite " and " Love Me " . Through televoting the audience chose " Satellite " , written by American Julie Frost and Dane John Gordon , to be her designated song in the event she won the show . In a second round of voting Meyer-Landrut was chosen as Germany 's entry for the 55th Eurovision Song Contest , beating the last remaining contestant , Jennifer Braun . Throughout the show , Meyer-Landrut was seen as the clear favourite . One day after winning '' Unser Star für Oslo '' , her three songs from the finals topped the German iTunes Store sales chart , making her the first singer to accomplish this . " Satellite " sold over 100,000 downloads in its first week , becoming Germany 's fastest-selling digital release ever . Her three songs entered the top five of the German singles chart reaching positions one , three and four . No artist had achieved this since the charts were first established in Germany in 1959 . " Satellite " was certified gold after the first week and platinum after the fourth week of its release . The song remained at number one for five consecutive weeks in Germany . The music video for " Satellite " was shot during the night of the final and premiered on German television stations four days later . While competing at '' Unser Star für Oslo '' , Meyer-Landrut continued to attend school . The last show was held one month before the start of her final exams .
