BIOGRAPHY
Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu (born October 16, 1986), professionally known as Inna rose to major fame in 2009, when her debut studio album "Hot" was an international success, appearing in many record charts around the world and reaching the top-ten in Czech Republic, France and the United Kingdom. The album's lead single of the same name charted worldwide, topping the US Hot Dance Airplay in 2009. Furthermore, it became Gold or Platinum in Spain, Norway, and Italy. The song reached top-ten peak positions on the French Singles Chart and were included in the list of the best-selling songs of 2010 in France.
"I Am the Club Rocker" (2011), Inna's next album, received the Romanian-Album-of-the-Year-award from her label Roton. Furthermore, it achieved Gold status in Romania and Poland. The first release called "Sun Is Up" was one of her most successful singles in her career, selling 125,000 copies in France and 2 million copies worldwide. The third single "Un Momento" rose to fame, as it charted at No.4 on the Lebanese Top 20 and within the top-twenty in Romania, Slovakia, Austria and Poland.
Her third studio album "Party Never Ends" (2013) failed to achieve the same success of its predecessors, with its highest charting position being the No.10 spot on the Mexican Albums Chart. Subsequently, Inna began working on her fourth overall full-length record. "Cola Song" was released then as the first single from the album. While it features J Balvin, it became a massive hit throughout Europe and was certified Platinum.
Inna's portofolio includes numerous awards, such as two MTV Europe Music Awards and over thirteen awards in three consecutive years at the MTV Romania Music Awards. In May 2011, it was reported that Inna has already sold one million records worldwide, including 100,000 albums and over 600,000 singles in the United Kingdom. At the end of 2011 Inna became the richest recording artist in Romania and in Eastern Europe. Her net worth is over 10 million euros. As of March 2016, she has sold over 4 million copies of her first three studio albums.
