Sarah Connor

Pop star Sarah Connor is one of the most successful German singers of the 2000s. Ten of her 11 studio albums—and 14 of her 25 singles—reached the Top 10. • Connor began singing in a church choir at age six. As a teenager, she and her sister were part of the backing chorus for Michael Jackson’s HIStory World Tour when the pop icon performed in Bremen, Germany, in 1997. • The singer’s 2001 debut album, Green Eyed Soul, reached No. 2 on the German charts. • Her fourth LP, 2005’s Naughty but Nice, was Connor’s first No. 1. The album yielded two chart-topping singles: “Living to Love You” and “From Zero to Hero.” The latter was the European theme song for the 2005 animated movie Robots, in which Connor voiced one of the characters. • “From Zero to Hero” was Connor’s fourth consecutive No. 1 hit (and fifth overall), making her the only female German singer to have had four chart-topping singles in a row. • After her eighth album, 2010’s Real Love, Connor spent two seasons as a judge on the German version of The X Factor. • Connor resumed releasing albums with Muttersprache in 2015 and Herz Kraft Werke in 2019. Both reached No. 1 in Germany.
