Exclusive: Google Music to Launch in Germany?

Something strange is happening to the Google Play store in Germany. Now, whenever you search for recording artists, the store re-directs you to their artist's page. Might Google Music soon launch in Germany?

Due to copyright restrictions Google Music is currently only available to users in the U.S. But the fact that artists are now searchable from within Europe's largest economy is a hopeful sign of things to come. We've tried searching from the location of other countries like France, Belgium and the U.K., but it seems to only work on German and American Google Play stores.

Personally, I think this is the real deal.
