4630 Bochum was recorded between January and March 1984 in EMI studios in Cologne. It was his first album for EMI after the end of his contract with Intercord Tonträger GmbH (a record label owned by Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck).
The album spent 79 weeks in the German albums chart,[1] making it the most successful album of 1984 in Germany. With certified sales in excess of 2.5 million, it is currently the third-best-selling album in Germany, having been certified quintuple platinum.[2] In Switzerland and Austria, the album spent 13 and 24 weeks respectively in the charts.[3] The single release "Männer" in particular established Grönemeyer's fame in Germany.
