My Number One is the first international album by Helena Paparizou during her solo career. It was released in Sweden, Turkey, Switzerland, Hungary, Finland, Russia, Denmark and Poland but the songs from the album can be found on the Greek release of the album Protereotita: Euro Edition.

It contains the song "My Number One" which won the 50th Eurovision. It also includes three other songs with potential for the Eurovision entry: "OK", "Let's Get Wild" and "The Light in Our Soul". The album contained three other English songs: "If You Believe Me", "A Brighter Day" and "I Don't Want You Here Anymore." These three songs were inspired from the music of Elenas first album Protereotita. That album also included three singles: "My Number One", "The Light in Our Soul" and "A Brighter Day."

[edit] Singles

The first single released from My Number One was Elena's winning song from the 2005 Eurovision song contest "My Number One". The single went to number one in Sweden for 4 very successful weeks. The single stayed on the charts for 29 weeks overall.

The second single to be released from the album was "The Light in Our Soul" which was another successful single from the album and peaked at number three. The single was only released in Sweden. The song stayed a hit in Sweden over the summer and stayed on the charts for 24 weeks. It was still in the Swedish charts in early 2006.

The last single to be released from the album was "A Brighter Day." This was in Elena's least successful single to date as a solo artist in Sweden. The single reached number twenty-four (#24) and stayed on the charts for 10 weeks. The reason the single peaked at a low chart position was due to Elena promoting her new single "Mambo!" in Greece and did not have the time to promote "A Brighter Day" in Sweden. Also, no video was filmed for the single which might have contributed to its lack of success.

[edit] Chart performance

My Number One reached 13 in the Swedish charts for 2 weeks and the likewise named single stayed on the charts for 22 weeks (5½ months). The album first entered at 34 but went on to claim position 13. The album was last seen in the charts on 27th October where the single was at 36.
