List of songs recorded by No Angels

German-based No Angels, one of the most successful acts in German music history,[1] are an all-female pop band formed in 2000 on the debut season of the German adaption of the talent series Popstars. Originally a quintet, consisting of band members Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling, Vanessa Petruo, and Jessica Wahls, they were one of the first television-cast acts to achieve continued success throughout Central Europe in the early 2000s. No Angels made their debut with Elle'ments (2001). Cheyenne Records consulted a small team of German-based musicians to work with the quintet on the album, including Thorsten Brötzmann, Peter Ries, Leslie Mándoki, and Peter Plate.[2] Most of them would become frequent collaborators on subsequent projects Now... Us! (2002) and Pure (2003).[3][4] Beginning with their second album Now... Us!, the band took a wider role in contributing own lyrics and melodies to their music, with Petruo co-writing the number-one single "Something About Us."[3] At the same time, the group sourced songs from a growing number of international songwriters, particularly from Australia, Scandinavia, and the United Kingdom.[3]
