This panternship led to a string of major Top 10 and #1 Pop chart hits beginning with &quot;I Can Lose My Heart Tonight&quot;, &quot;Cause You Are Young&quot; and &quot;Strangers By Night&quot; all released in 1985 proved to be major hits in mainland Europe. Müller went on to have Gold and Platinum selling albums and gain a sizable fanbase. The Caroline Müller and Dieter Bohlen partnership became to wane by the late 1980s. Müller wanted to participate in the creative process by contributing her own material, but Bohlen did not agree. This led to the split between singer and producer in 1989.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">After splitting with Bohlen, she took time off from the music industry for much of the 1990s, instead focusing on spirtual growth. She made her return in 1999 with regular successful concerts and touring. She finally released her new single, &quot;Silence&quot;, written by Müller herself, in 2004. &quot;Silence&quot; became a moderate hit. It just missed the Top 40 of the German Pop chart, peaking at #47. She has continued her career, but with moderate success.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
