BMG

No Angels, the most successful girl band in German chart history, is returning to streaming services thanks to BMG. The welcome news for fans follows BMG’s acquisition of the Cheyenne Records catalogue, which includes many of Germany’s most iconic songs of the 2000s.

The Cheyenne catalogue contains more than 600 master recordings from bands and solo artists who emerged from the international television talent show Popstars between 2000 and 2010. Besides No Angels, Cheyenne Records’ roster represents multi-platinum certified acts such as Bro'Sis, Overground, Nu Pagadi, Preluders, Monrose, Queensberry, Room 2012, Some & Any, and La Vive.

A string of Germany’s biggest Number One smash hits – including No Angels’ ‘Daylight In Your Eyes’, Bro’Sis’ ‘I Believe‘, and Monrose’s ‘Shame‘ – have been absent from digital streaming platforms for five years leading to protests and petitions by fans.

Now they are set to go live on November 27, 2020. The release will be accompanied by an integrated digital campaign with a platform as the base that allows fans to deep dive deep into the universe of Cheyenne Records and to connect with the music and artists they love and have missed for so long. Along with the audio recordings, BMG will also publish high-quality versions of the original official music videos.

Maximilian Kolb, BMG Managing Director GSA: “The streaming revolution put a spotlight on music’s most valuable assets. The catalogue of Cheyenne Records is among the crown jewels of German pop music of the 2000s, and we are delighted to bring them back to the public. The acquisition shows BMG’s commitment to delivering the best service to artists and songwriters in the digital world.”

Feline Moje, BMG Director Recorded Music GSA: "Cheyenne Records not only released iconic repertoire. They shaped a whole generation, which includes a large part of our team. We are proud to again make our favorite songs from the past accessible to everyone.

With four Number One hits, three Number One albums and record sales of more than five million, No Angels became both the biggest-selling German girl band of all time and the most successful girl band of the 2000s in Continental Europe. Their record-breaking debut single ‘Daylight in Your Eyes’ sold more than 500,000 copies within a week after its release, their debut album Elle’ments was certified triple-platinum.
