The album also spent six months on the Top Twenty Charts and became the highest selling debut album ever released by an Arabic artist. The song "Akher Gharam" in addition became a #1 Lebanese hit.

Album history

[edit]

After achieving success on the Arabian charts with her single and video clip of "Rayyah Balak" Dilara Productions gave Hijazi the green light to record this full-length album. After the success of the lead single, "Akher Gharam", the album quickly gained a number one position on charts in various countries and becoming one of the highest selling albums of the 2000s Lebanon. Hijazi's amazing and fabulous success made her sign a contract for a duo with the raï superstar Faudel.

Singles

"Akher Gharam" was the album's lead single. Its release had a major impact on Hijazi's career and significantly increased sales of the album. It peaked at number one in countries like Lebanon, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan. In addition, it enjoyed significant success in the Persian Gulf region and was especially popular in the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar.

"Ghanniet", another single also enjoyed similar success thanks to its massive radio airplay and video broadcast on almost all major music channels in the Middle East.

After the songs "Akher Gharam" and "Ghanniet" had their runs globally, Hijazi decided to release the ballad "Habibi Oud" from her album, which also became a prominent single for Hijazi.
