After Splitting Up In 1987 The Duo Reunited In 1998 At First Only Testing The Waters With New Versions Of Hit Singles And Again Reaching The Top Of The Charts Unexpectedly.

Global Sales Of Modern Talking Records Were 120 Million Units According To BMG In June 2003 And They Have Become The Biggest-Selling German Music Act In History So Far Outselling Even Frank Farian's Projects Boney M And Milli Vanilli Michael Cretu's Enigma Sandra The Scorpions Snap! And Rammstein. Modern Talking Were Successful In Europe Asia South America And Some African Countries. In The United Kingdom They Reached The Top Ten Only Once With The Song "Brother Louie" in 1986 #4 UK . They Did Not Feel Very Good About Promoting Their Singles There Due To Being Marketed In England As A Gay Group Like Erasure And Culture Club. Indeed In The UK "Brother Louie" Is Regarded By Those Who Remember It As Nothing More Than A Novelty Record By A One-Hit Wonder. They Were Almost Unknown In North America By Mainstream Standards Never Appearing In The Charts There And Due To Lack Of Backing From A Record Company And Lack Of Time Did Not Go There To Promote Their Music. Composer Dieter Bohlen Employed Mood-Evoking Lyrics And Intellectually-Designed Synthesizer-Based Music Which Was Out Of Vogue In The U.S. Before Modern Talking Even Formed. In 2006 Bohlen Included A Secret Message In His Song "Bizarre Bizarre" Which Was Played Backwards "There Will Never Be An End To Modern Talking". However Bohlen Said "he Meant To Say That The Music Of Modern Talking Will Live Forever" 4 . Anders Has Kept The Modern Talking Songs In His Repertoire And Produced Songs In A Similar Vein For His Solo Records "Independent Girl" . In 2006 He Produced An Album Of Swing And Jazz Versions Of Popular Songs including Modern Talking's First Hit . Bohlen Has Written Two Autobiographical Books One Of Which Also Detailed Modern Talking's History From His Perspective And Sold A Million Copies In Germany. The Sequel Was Heavily Criticised For His Unfairness Towards The People He Worked With. As A Result Of That He Withdrew From The Public For A Year Until 2006 When He Said He Regretted Putting Out The Second Book. Anders Had Not Been The Only One Pressing Charges Against Bohlen And Demanding That Sections Of The Book Be Modified. Read More On Last.Fm.
