Stella went back to the studio in October 2004 to record her sophomore album. "Όλα τα λεφτά" (All the Money) was released in February 2005 and proved more successful than it's predecessor, selling over 150,000 copies in 6 months, gaining a 5x platinum certification. The album's singles "Όλα τα λεφτά", "Το 'πα", "Τραλαλά τραλαλό" and "Τρελοκόριτσο", went all straight to #1 in the Greek Airplay Charts, making her the only artist in the greek music history to do so. In January 2006, during one of her interviews, a newly-wed Stella stated she would put her career on hiatus to focus on being a housewife. There have been no official news regarding her return to music, despite the rumors of her recording her 3rd album. Read more on Last.fm.
