Daniel Schuhmacher is a chart-topping pop singer from Germany who rose to fame in 2009 on the television show Deutschland Sucht den Superstar. Born on April 19, 1987, in Pfullendorf, Baden-Württemberg, he was the first-place winner of the sixth season of Deutschland Sucht den Superstar, a German-language adaptation of Pop Idol. On the night of May 9, 2009, during the season finale, he performed the songs "Soulmate" by <a href="spotify:artist:7o95ZoZt5ZYn31e9z1Hc0a">Natasha Bedingfield</a>, "Ain't No Sunshine" by <a href="spotify:artist:1ThoqLcyIYvZn7iWbj8fsj">Bill Withers</a>, and "Anything But Love" by German hitmaker <a href="spotify:artist:7z56WnIZOTB7LcEt7tg9sx">Dieter Bohlen</a> in competition against second-place runner-up <a href="spotify:artist:13Hts50vqgYVI6crCr30co">Sarah Kreuz</a>. In the immediate aftermath of his first-place finish, Schuhmacher was offered a major-label recording contract with Sony Music and proceeded to record his full-length solo album debut, The Album. "Anything But Love" was released almost immediately as the lead single and was a smash hit, topping the singles charts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Released a month later, The Album was also a massive commercial success, topping the albums charts in Germany and Austria and reaching the Top Five in Switzerland. While it includes a couple cover songs (<a href="spotify:artist:0NKDgy9j66h3DLnN8qu1bB">Eurythmics</a>' "Sweet Dreams" and <a href="spotify:artist:1ThoqLcyIYvZn7iWbj8fsj">Bill Withers</a>' "Ain't No Sunshine," both of which Schuhmacher had performed on Deutschland Sucht den Superstar), The Album is otherwise comprised exclusively of English-language material penned by <a href="spotify:artist:7z56WnIZOTB7LcEt7tg9sx">Bohlen</a>. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
