Stadtaffe (ˈʃtatˌʔafə, “urban ape”) is the first solo album by German musician Peter Fox. Released 26 September 2008, the standard version contains twelve tracks, four of which have been released as singles. Fox performed the single Schwarz zu blau at the Bundesvision Song Contest 2009 in Potsdam while representing Berlin, and won, becoming the first person to win the contest twice (his first win coming in 2006 as a member of the band Seeed). The album was certified 6× platinum for shipping 1.2 million copies in Germany and is the third-most-downloaded album of all time there,[1] selling 100,000 copies from downloads only.[2]
In 2009, Fox stated that Stadtaffe would remain his only solo album. In April 2023, however, he announced the release of his second album Love Songs for May 2023.
Musikexpress voted Stadtaffe 19th on the list of the 100 best German albums of all time.[3]
