Stadtaffe ({{lit}} “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{{certification Cite Ref|region=Germany|type=album|artist=Peter Fox|title=Stadtaffe|best=no}} and is the third-most-downloaded album of all time there,{{cite web|title=Adele stellt Download-Rekord auf|url=http://www.gfk-entertainment.com/news/adele-stellt-download-rekord-auf.html|work=Media Control|accessdate=29 April 2013|language=German|date=30 November 2011}} selling 100,000 copies from downloads only.{{cite web|url=http://www.gfk-entertainment.com/news/download-lps-stadtaffe-mit-den-hoechsten-verkaeufen.html |title=Download-LPs: "Stadtaffe" mit den höchsten Verkäufen – media control |publisher=Media-control.de |date=17 November 2010 |accessdate=10 March 2012}}
