Career

Rush initially performed under her birth name Heidi Stern and released one studio album in 1979 which did not chart. In the early 1980s, she first signed with CBS Songs Publishing Germany as a songwriter, then to CBS Records and released her debut single "Tonight" in 1982, which also did not chart. In 1983, she changed her stage name to Jennifer Rush and released her first two singles "Into My Dreams" and "Come Give Me Your Hand" both co-written by Rush who at the time was working full time at the US Military in Munich, Germany. The following year, she made her chart breakthrough with her debut studio album, Jennifer Rush , which included the German top-40 singles "25 Lovers" and "Ring of Ice", as well as "The Power of Love", which topped several charts worldwide and became the best-selling single of 1985 in the United Kingdom [1] and the most successful single of 1986 in Canada. [2] The Jennifer Rush album reached top-10 positions worldwide and achieved platinum and multi-platinum certifications in Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

In 1985, Rush released her second album, Movin' , which topped the German Albums Chart for 13 consecutive weeks and was certified triple platinum. The album also topped the charts in Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, achieving a Platinum certification in the latter. Two singles were released from the album, "Destiny" and "If You're Ever Gonna Lose My Love", which reached the Top 10 and Top 30 on the German singles chart respectively. Rush's third album, Heart over Mind , was released in 1987 and was another chart-topping album in Germany, staying at the summit for nine consecutive weeks. Three German Top 40 hits were released from the album; "I Come Undone", "Flames of Paradise" (a duet with Elton John) and "Heart over Mind". The album reached the top 10 in multiple European territories, including Austria, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, where it became her second number-one album and her third platinum-certified album.

Rush's 1988 album Passion is her last platinum-certified album to date in Germany, peaking at number three and spawning a top-40 entry with "You're My One and Only". Her fifth album, 1989's Wings of Desire was less successful than her previous releases but attained a Top 20 peak in Germany and Switzerland, achieving a Gold certification in both countries. The same year, Rush achieved a UK top-40 entry with "Till I Loved You", a duet with Placido Domingo. The following year, CBS released Rush's first greatest hits album, The Power of Jennifer Rush , which reached number 40 in Germany and was eventually certified platinum.

In the 1990s, Rush signed with EMI and released four more studio albums during this decade. Her 1992 album Jennifer Rush reached the Top 40 in Germany and Switzerland but did not attain any certifications. Her next album, 1995's Out of My Hands , saw an improved chart performance, peaking at number 15 in Germany, becoming her highest-charting album of the decade in that country. The album also spawned her highest-charting 1990s single, "Tears in the Rain". 1997's Credo reached the top 30 in Germany, while 1998's Classics , a collection of classical re-recordings of Rush's 1980s singles with four new songs, peaked in the top 40.

Rush's eleventh studio album, Now Is the Hour , was released in 2010, becoming her highest-charting album in Germany since Out of My Hands.
