Retro WWWSC #50 (Special Edition)

Ireland's entry. Hoping not to flop in a special edition for once


(Recap 1:38-2:03)

2 of the most selling female voices of the Greek pop scene in the late 90's and early 2000's made a collaboration that became a big hit in both Greece and Cyprus in 2000! These are no others than Anna Vissi and Keti Garbi (indeed, both have been in ESC, the latter one represented Greece in 1993).

The song is called "Kalitera oi dyo mas" ('Καλύτερα οι δυο μας') and belongs to Anna Vissi's album with the title "Kravgi" ('Κραυγή') which was released the 23^rd of November in 2000. This is one of the most commercial CD singles ever in Greece and the most sold one ever (according to Wikipedia ) in Cyprus (meanwhile,I also have this album lol). The album became platinum from the very first day it was released and with over 175k copies sold in Greece, it became platinum 7 times in total, where as in Cyprus, it became platinum 7 times within 8 months, with over 45k copies.

The single was also released in Turkey in 2001, where it became gold, and in Australia in 2002, where it managed to reach the 66th place of the Australian charts, becoming the first and only Greek album that made it to the TOP 70 of the official charts of the country.

I hope you like this song, which I personally like a lot and it reminds me of my younger days!

Azerbaijan brings Aygün Kazımova back to the contest for the 3rd time! Previously, she achieved to secure 7th (Yar yar, #16) and 2nd (Məhəbbətə hə, #43) places and we hope for another top 10 spot with 'I am an eastern girl' this time! Please take 01:32-01:56 as a recap timeslot from the first video posted in this comment:



As a proof of evidence I'd like to post her album named 'Aygün' which dates back to 2000. In the description of the video, the song representing is listed in 10th order.



Here is a photo of Aygün Kazımova:



Good luck to everyone!
