context_page_description: Andrea Ferber, known professionally as Andrea Berg, is a German schlager singer. Born in Krefeld, she performed at carnivals as a child and began her career in 1992 after being discovered by record producer Eugen Römer. While she released her first studio album Du bist frei that same year, her commercial breakthrough took place with its follow-up Gefühle, released in 1995. The collaboration between Berg and Römer spawned a string of commercially successful albums, with her albums Machtlos, Du, Splitternackt, and Zwischen Himmel & Erde topping the German charts. Her compilation album Best Of, released in 2001, is the album that spent the most weeks on the charts in Germany and Austria. Between 2010 and 2018, Berg worked with Dieter Bohlen, who produced her albums Schwerelos, Abenteuer, Atlantis, and Seelenbeben, all of which topped the German and Austrian album charts.
  Berg has received several awards, including six ECHO Awards and eight Goldene Stimmgabeln. With over 10 million records sold throughout her career, she is one of the best-selling music artists in Germany.
context_section_description: In 1997, Berg released her third studio album Träume lügen nicht (English: "Dreams Don't Lie"), which reached place 71 of the German album charts. The first single, "Warum nur träumen" (English: "Why Just Dream"), was a number-one on some radio playlists and stayed in the charts for 15 weeks. Following the birth of her daughter, she released her fourth album Zwischen tausend Gefühlen (English: "Between a Thousand Feelings") in 1998, which contains twelve songs. Three singles were released from the album throughout 1999: "Diese Nacht soll nie enden" (English: "This Night Should Never End"), "Insel der Nacht" (English: "Island of the Night"), and "Jenseits der Zärtlichkeit" (English: "Beyond Tenderness"). That same year, she released her fifth album Weil ich verliebt bin (English: "Because I'm in Love"), of which the single "Vielleicht ein Traum zu viel" reached the third place of the ZDF-Hitparade. She also reached the third place of Hits des Jahres (English: Hits of the Year) in January 2000 and was number-one for several weeks in the German Top 20 airplay charts. Since 18 October 2000, "Andrea Berg" has been a registered trademark in Germany.
  In October 2001, Berg released the compilation Best Of, which features twelve of her most successful songs. The album sold two million copies and went double-platinum in 2003. As of 2012, it was seven-times-platinum. In August 2011, Best Of reached place 59 of the Swiss hit-parade and was certified gold. Best-of is the album that spent the most weeks on the German and Austrian album charts. Berg has sometimes had as many as four releases in the German charts simultaneously. Her 2002 studio album Nah am Feuer (English: "Close to the Fire") went gold in 2003. Her 2006 album Splitternackt (English: "Stark Naked") reached number-one on the German album charts, where it remained for several weeks. Her single "Du hast mich tausendmal belogen" (English: "You Have Lied to Me a Thousand Times"), originally published on her album Wo liegt das Paradies, reached the second place of the GEMA Top 10 of collected international sales in 2007.
