Career Debut

In 1998 she recorded her first album entitled "Village Girl," and since has become the most popular and the best selling pop artist in Croatian history.

Severina Vuckovic won many festival-awards and her albums achieved high sales. Some of the better known songs have included Kad si sam, Dalmatinka, Djevojka sa sela, Ja samo pjevam, Paloma Nera, Virujen u te, Ante, Adio ljube.

In 2004, Severina Vuckovic became infamous for a videotape leaked on the Internet showing her having s-- with a man - in which they performed nearly every s--ual position. This would be devastating to her public image, as she was a symbol for religious modesty, promoting abstinence in many of her public appearances. The tape, supposedly private, was released on the peer-to-peer networks and soon captured the attention of a Croatian web portal Index.hr, which then published an article about it featuring several screenshots from the video. After that, the news spread into local mass media and the video quickly became the most downloaded item in the country at the time.
