Re-release Special Edition

Chart performance

In 2007, the album had reached 3× platinum status. In 2008, the album reentered the Greek charts and was officially certified 4× platinum by the IFPI with confirmed sales of over 120,000 copies sold. Sales thresholds for certifications have varied over the decades, although traditionally a gold record was awarded for 20,000 copies and platinum for 40,000. However, as of 2006, the year the album was released, thresholds have been reduced to 15,000 for a gold certification and 30,000 for platinum, meaning that the album reached 4× Platinum at 120,000 copies instead of 160,000. This means that although this is Hatzigiannis' highest-certified album to date, the sales did not exceed that of his previous studio album, Akatallili Skini.
