She rose to international stardom in 1985, with the release of her single "(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena" - its synth-based 1980's dance sound crafted by boyfriend Michael Cretu proved to be an overwhelming success going nr1 in 21 countries. Through the following years she had a string of major top 10 hits, including "In the Heat of the Night", "Hi! Hi! Hi!', "Everlasting Love", "Heaven Can Wait", "Secret Land" and "Hiroshima".
