Matthias Reim

His first single, "Verdammt, ich lieb dich" ("Damn, I love you,") was released in 1990. It sold 2.5 million copies and was at top of the charts in Germany for 16 weeks. No single had remained longer at this position permanently since 1971. Matthias Reim shared this distinction with Boney M. His first album "Reim" was released soon thereafter. By 1999, another nine albums had been released by the "Polydor" label. His album "Zauberland" ("Land of Magic") was also released as an international version in Canada under the title "Wonderland". In 2000, Matthias Reim released "Wolkenreiter" ("Rider of the Clouds"), his first of four CDs released on the "EMI" label. His last CD, released in September 2005, was called "Unverwundbar" ("Invulnerable.")
