Thomas Anders - Biography
Thomas Anders is a German singer, composer, and record producer. Anders was the lead singer of Germany's popular pop-duo Modern Talking in 1984-1987 and in 1998-2003.
After both Bohlen and Anders had failed to achieve success in the schlager genre, Bohlen pitched the idea of forming a eurodisco duo consisting of Anders as lead singer and himself to BMG. The label agreed, however; they invested only little money in the project, resulting in low-budget videos and production. To capitalize on the popularity of the genre, they sang in easily accessible English lyrics, simple and catchy rhythms, and sported then-popular outfits. Modern Talking became an overnight sensation in 1985 when their video for "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", originally released in October of the previous year, was shown in popular German music show Formel Eins. After that, the song occupied top ten positions in thirty-five countries, including their homeland, where it remained perched at the top of the charts for six consecutive weeks.
The single eventually went on to sell eight million copies worldwide, reaching number one in Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, as well as the European Hot 100. The track was then followed by another number-one hit in Germany and Austria, "You Can Win If You Want", which was released in the middle of 1985 from the debut album The 1st Album. "You Can Win If You Want" eventually went gold and sold well over 250,000 units in Germany alone. The single also peaked at No. 8 in France where it also reached a gold status for sales of 500,000 units The album was certified platinum in Germany for selling over 500,000 units. and reached the top ten in Belgium, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, and Switzerland.
In April 2017, Anders released his first German language song in almost 35 years, "Der beste Tag meines Lebens" ("The best day of my life"). While it failed to chart, the accompanying studio album Pures Leben ("Pure Life"), promoted as his first German language release, peaked to number 14 in Germany. Anders has stated that he was pleasantly surprised by the album's success, asserting that he is more popular abroad than in his home country, fully knowing that people would most likely be indifferent to a German language album by him.
On May 1, 2018, Anders was announced as a judge on the revival of the German version of X Factor. Later that year, he released his second German language album, Ewig mit Dir ("Forever with you"), which managed to climb to number 12 in the German album charts. It produced two singles, "Das Leben ist Jetzt" ("Life is now") and "Sie sagte doch sie liebt mich" ("But she said she loved me"), a duet with Florian Silbereisen, which managed to attain number 70 in the German single charts.
Anders' parents are Helga and Peter Weidung. He has one brother, Achim, and one sister, Tania. He was married to Nora Balling from 1984 to 1999. Since July 2000, he has been married to Claudia Hess, with whom he has a son, Alexander Mick, born 27 June 2002.
