Rosenstolz's first chart hit was "Herzensschöner", which reached No. 34 in the German singles chart in 1998.[1] However, it was not until 2000 with the release of the single "Amo Vitam" that the band received frequent airplay on German music television stations.[2][3] The following year, "Es könnt' ein Anfang sein" became the band's first German top 10 single.[4] Rosenstolz's great breakthrough in Germany then came in 2004 with the album Herz, which reached triple platinum status and gave rise to four top 20 singles, including "Liebe ist alles" and "Willkommen".[5][6] Major chart hits from later albums were "Ich bin ich (Wir sind wir)", "Gib mir Sonne" and "Wir sind am Leben", which peaked at No. 2, No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, in the German singles chart.[6]
Although none of Rosenstolz's songs from the early to mid-nineties entered the charts, some of them remained regular features of Rosenstolz concerts in later years. These songs included "Schlampenfieber", "Nur einmal noch", "Lachen", "Der Moment", "Die Schlampen sind müde" and "Königin".[7][8][9][10] A notable song was "Schlampenfieber", which was performed in a different musical style for each concert tour.[11]
Five of Rosenstolz's studio albums went straight to No. 1 in the German albums chart: Kassengift (2000), Herz (2004), Das große Leben (2006), Die Suche geht weiter (2008) and Wir sind am Leben (2011).[6] The last three of these albums also reached No. 1 in Austria and charted highly in Switzerland.[6] Rosenstolz's most commercially successful album was Das große Leben, which sold over one million copies in Germany[12] and also received platinum and gold statuses in Austria and Switzerland, respectively.[13][14]
