Men Diana Illa

Men Diana Illa... (English: From Diana To...) is the 11th (Anida is not counted as a studio album) studio album by Lebanese singer Diana Haddad, released by in November 2008, continued along the lines established by her 2002 album Law Yesaloni. That purely contains Khaliji dialect songs only. Haddad was notably the first Lebanese singer to release a 100% Khaliji album in 2002. A commercial success that received favorable reviews from the critics.

Haddad returns to the music scene with Men Diana Ela..., a Khaliji album from beginning to end. The styles range from pop and ballads to the traditional. Some songs use typical Arabic beats (be it from the Persian Gulf or Iraq), while others use styles that border on Latin, African, and Indian music. Never one to depend on one lyricist or musician, Diana works with a number of composers on this album.

Chart success & sales

The album received a universally critical claim from the critics and was favored than Diana's first Khaliji album, though not as successful. Despite the poor Promotion & distribution from the producing company ( platinum records ) and Nojoom Music the album sold out its 1st & 2nd editions within a week in UAE ( 1 edition = 100,000 copies ) and managed to top the selling charts in the Arab world,it debuted # 9 at UAE , #2 KUWAIT , #1 QATAR ,#2 KSA , #4 JORDAN and reached the #1 in UAE,KUWAIT in few weeks and lasted at that position for two weeks because of the bad distribution (IN UAE ,KUWAIT) and lasted for more than 5 weeks at #1 in Qatar. The Virgin Mega Store's management described the album as the best selling album in its stores, beating the sales of Nawal al kuwaitia ( both albums released in the same week ), but the album's sales went down after two months only because of negligence from the producing company leading the people to buy the fake copies of the album.
