[edit] Original album

The album was released in the second quarter of 2004. The album included 5 singles: "Anapantites Kliseis", "Treli Kardia", "Katse Kala", "Anditheseis" and "Stin Kardia Mou Mono Thlipsi"; which were big hits for Helena. After the Eurovision Paparizou re-released the album with a new CD which contained 11 new tracks that included the Eurovision songs. The album was titled Protereotita: Euro Edition. At the end of 2005 Elena re-released the album for the third and final time, this time it had all the songs from Protereotita and the Euro Edition and the songs from the "Mambo!" CD single also. Protereotita -including both re-releases- has sold more than 100,000 copies, becoming a huge commercial succes for Elena, considering that the album was released only in Greece and Cyprus.
