"Stereo Love" is a 2009 song recorded by Romanian musician Edward Maya featuring Vika Jigulina, released as his debut single in late 2009 from his album The Stereo Love Show. The refrain is from "Bayatılar", composed by Azerbaijani musician Eldar Mansurov. It became a worldwide hit in Nightclubs and rose to the top of Romanian, French, Dutch, Turkish, Finnish, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, and Irish singles charts.
The song and the music video were both included on the compilation NRJ Music Awards 2010.[3] The music video was filmed in Greece, as Edward Maya stated in an interview that Greece "was a place that I fell in love with".[4] In 2011, the song was awarded as top dance song at the Billboard Music Awards.[5]

[edit] Copyright controversy
In the autumn of 2009 in Greece, Azerbaijani composer Eldar Mansurov contacted the Romanian Office for Copyright claiming the refrain of "Stereo Love" was a copy of a tune from his popular 1989 composition "Bayatılar". In the video clip, the composer of "Stereo Love" was indicated as "anonymous". Both the Office and Edward Maya later confirmed that Mansurov's work was in fact used in the making of "Stereo Love". Maya commented by saying he was "fascinated" by the accordion version of "Bayatılar" he had come across on the Internet earlier in 2009 and claimed he had tried to contact the author but failed due to his busy schedule. On 19 January 2010, Edward Maya arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan, where he signed an agreement with Eldar Mansurov affirming their co-authorship of "Stereo Love".[1][2]
[edit] Chart performance
On the issue date October 17, 2009, the song debuted at #12 on the French Digital Singles Chart.[6] It became #1 on November 22, 2009, with more than 6,142 copies sold.[7] It reached its highest weekly sales on January 3, 2010 with 9,763 sales.[8] The song remained at #1 for a total of eight consecutive weeks. On the issue date November 22, 2009, "Stereo Love" debuted at #2 on the French Physical Singles Chart and became #1 on December 27, 2009. In Belgium, the single entered the Ultratop 40 at #40 on November 28, 2009 and reached a peak of #2 eleven weeks later. In the Netherlands, it was ranked for two weeks atop, eleven weeks in the top 10 and 17 weeks in the top 40. In Switzerland, the single debuted at #3 and peaked at #2. In the UK, the song entered the UK chart at #4 and fell quickly. In Ireland, the first week of release, the unofficial DJ Team version proved to be more popular (#8 in the IRMA singles chart) than Edward Maya's (#17); however, on May 21 the former dropped three places to #11 while the latter jumped eleven positions to #6 just before reaching a week later the top of the chart where it has been for four consecutive weeks.
Outside of Europe, "Stereo Love" enjoyed the most chart success in Canada, where it debuted at #93 on the Canadian Hot 100 on the issue dated February 13, 2010. The version released in Canada was featuring Mia Martina, instead of Vika Jigulina. Three weeks later, "Stereo Love" reached the top 40 and later peaked inside the top 10. Eventually, it was certified Platinum. It has also debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at #93 on the week ending October 23, 2010 and has since risen to #16. In 2011, it peaked at #11 on the Pop Airplay Chart. It has also topped the Billboard Dance/Club Play at #1, Billboard Digital Songs at #16, Billboard Airplay at #17, peaked at #35 on both the Billboard Latin Songs and Billboard Adult Pop songs, peaked at #13 on American Top 40, and peaked on the Billboard Ringtone Chart at #40.[9] The song became very popular in cities like New York City where it reached number one in radio stations like Z100, WKTU and 92.3 Now.
In the United States, the single entered the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart at #23 in the April 17, 2010 issue. During its second week it slipped to #25, but in its fourth week saw a major move in the May 8, 2010 issue, moving from #25 to #8, the biggest jump ever on the chart, and ultimately reaching the #1 position three times in its June 5, June 26, and September 18, 2010 issues. The single was released through Ultra Records, the same label that also scored another top 10 US Dance Airplay hit in 2010 with another song by a Romanian artist, "Hot" by Inna, which also went all the way to number one, thus giving Ultra Records the distinction of having artists from the same country reach #1 in the same year with debut singles on the same chart. It would become the number one Dance Airplay single of 2010 in Billboard's Year End issue.[10]
On the Italian FIMI chart the song peaked at #4 for two non-consecutive weeks in April 2010 and spent 17 weeks within the top 10. "Stereo Love" is the longest charting song in the history of European top Hot 100, accumulating 47 weeks.
The official "Stereo Love" music video received more than 164 million YouTube views for just one video, with other copies and forms of the song and video receiving several million more views.[11] The location of video shooting is the island of Mykonos, in Greece.

Ultra Records hired Canadian artist Mia Martina to record an official remix of Maya's "Stereo Love". The rights to an official remix were acquired by Ultra Records from Romanian label Cat Music.[64] As the writer and producer of the song Maya is paid royalties every time all of the remixes are played and sold of the song, including the official remix featuring Martina.
It was released to the United States on iTunes on August 10, 2010 and in the Canadian market in September 2010 from Martina's upcoming album Devotion. It is released on Ultra Records/EMI. The music video was directed by Marc André Debruyne.
[edit] Controversy
On January 7, 2011 Maya posted a statement expressing his disappointment with "the music industry" and the use of his name to promote Mia Martina's concerts, alleging that Martina's promoters were misleading audiences into believing that Maya would be present at Martina's concerts.[65]
Maya does not know Martina personally and states that he does not "approve of her", though the actual meaning of this is unclear. A letter, addressed to CP Records, allegedly written by Maya's legal team, has described their opposition to the marketing of Martina's tour. The letter suggests that Martina has been promoting her performances as "cover performances" of Maya. Maya's legal team apparently disagrees that her performances qualify as "covers".[65]
The original version by Maya and Vika Jigulina was already a Top 20 hit on Canadian Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #19 before it was outpeaked by the version promoted with Mia Martina, reaching #10.
