background

In 2002 Biedermann released her third album, Rock My Life . It is clearly rockier than its predecessor; it is the second album in which the singer was involved in the songwriting. The album was also released in a limited edition with a live DVD of the "Delicious Tour 2002". The album reached the top ten of the German album charts for the first time at number 7, as well as number 28 in Austria, number 75 in Switzerland and number 2 in Poland. The album was re-released in March 2003 as "Gold Edition", contains three new songs and reached number 68 in the charts. The accompanying DVD for the tour "Jeanette in Concert - Rock My Life Tour 2003", the album and the lead single of the same name were awarded gold. The album also received another platinum award for over 435,000 units sold. Rock My Life was Biedermann's first album to be released in France and England. It reached number 55 in the German annual album charts in 2003.

Singles

Rock My Life was released as the first single from the album of the same name in October 2003. With number 3 in the German single charts, Biedermann reached the highest chart position for the first time. The song stayed in the top ten for 10 weeks and was awarded a gold record. In Austria, Rock My Life placed 6th in the top ten for the first time and stayed in the charts for a total of 19 weeks. At number 35, the single hit the charts in Switzerland for 16 weeks. Rock My Life achieved further placements in the Europe Top 100 Single Charts with position 18, position 64 in the world single charts and position 53 in the airplay charts. In the annual charts in 2002, Rock My Life was at number 38 and in 2003 in Austria at number 66. With well over 300,000 units sold, Rock My Life is one of Biedermann's most successful songs.

The second single We've Got Tonight, a duet with Irish singer Ronan Keating, was released in November 2002. In the single charts, We've Got Tonight reached number 7 in Germany, number 6 in Austria and number 25 in Switzerland. In Germany, the song was in the top ten of the charts together with Rock My Life , something that no other singer has done before. In the 2003 annual charts, the song reached number 47 in Austria.

In March 2003, It's Over Now, which was released in two editions, Rock My Life's third single was released. The song reached the German top ten at number 6, the top 20 in Austria, the top 70 in Switzerland and number 47 in the Europe Top 100 single charts and placed at number 87 in the world single charts. It's Over Now reached position 63 in the German annual charts in 2003. The video for the single was shot in Los Angeles on the ship Queen Mary in the 1920s.

criticism

“With To Fall In Love it occurs to you that this song would be ideally suited to represent Germany at the next Grand Prix. Jeanette would be as successful as Corinna May . [...] The whole album ripples gently along in its average quality. [...] What the record company grandly praises as multifaceted is nothing more than a missing line. "
