Nevertheless, Benaissa decided to remain with the band, and in the following years the No Angels released another two number-one studio albums, "Now... Us!" and "Pure", a live album and a successful swing album branded "When the Angels Swing", totalling twelve singles altogether – including four-number one singles. Eventually selling more than five million singles and albums worldwide, the No Angels became the best-selling German girl band to date and the most successful girl group of continental Europe between the years of 2001 and 2003. On 5 September 2003, the four remaining members of the band (Jessica Wahls had left the band following the birth of her first child in February 2003) announced that they would no longer be performing together after three years of continual touring and increasing cases of illness. The release of "The Best of No Angels" in November of the same year marked the end of the band, with each member going their separate ways in early 2004.
