Career Rosenberg's musical career was consolidated throughout the 1970s with hits such as "" ("Stranger"), "" ("He belongs to me"), "" ("I am like you") which was later sampled by Blue Adonis on their track "Disco Cop", "Marleen", and "" ("Songs of the Night"), often making appearances on TV and radio.

Continued success

In 2004, Rosenberg re-released Marleen in a remixed version and with a new promotional video. The single reached number 33 on the official German Charts as compiled by Media Control. The follow-up single "" reached number 77. Both singles were taken from her 2004 disco-flavoured album , which reached number 12 on the German album charts, and consisted of remakes of her hits from the 70s.

In 2008, Rosenberg released her first jazz and chanson album, I'm a Woman.

In 2011 she released her first album with new music since Himmlisch in 2000. With Regenrhythmus she was trying to change her sound from being a German Schlager singer to a more modern sound. She was involved in the production of the album and received positive reviews for the result. The album reached number 29 on the German charts.

It wasn't until 2020 when Rosenberg released her next album. With Im Namen der Liebe she made it to the number 1 spot of the German album charts for the first time in her career.
