Haddaway - The Album (180g Yellow Vinyl) [Powerstation]

--> 180 gram transparent yellow heavy vinyl.

In 1992, Haddaway was discovered by German record company Coconut Records. It didn't take long for his cry "What is Love?" to be heard for the first time, and it hasn't stopped playing to this day. Haddaway's debut single, What Is Love, became a global hit, reaching number 2 in Germany and the UK. In Germany, the single sold 900,000 copies. In the UK, it received a gold record for a total of 400,000 units sold. Later, it rose to #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold for selling 500,000 copies. By 1994, What Is Love had sold 2.6 million copies worldwide, being #1 in 13 countries. Haddaway became one of the megastars of the Eurodance phenomenon.

His next three singles were also international hits. His second single, Life, reached the Top 5 across Europe, #1 in Sweden and Finland, #2 in Germany, #6 in the UK, and sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. The ballad I Miss You and the dance hit Rock My Heart also made it to the Top 10 in Europe. His first LP, The Album (in the US Haddaway), was a multi-million seller, achieving platinum status in Germany for 500,000 copies sold, and gold in the UK and France.

In 1998, What Is Love was immortalized by the cult movie A Night at the Roxbury. The joke of the rhythmic head bob when What Is Love played became one of the first massive phenomena in the early days of the internet. To this day, every little child in the US starts bobbing their head when they hear the song.

Today, Haddaway lives in Kitzbühel, Austria. He is a player and sponsor of the Wolfins baseball club in Kufstein. Together they became champions of the Tyrolean Regional Baseball League in 2020.
