"Stereo Love"
Song

"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 Stereo Love. The refrain is from Bayatılar composed by Azerbaijani musician Eldar Mansurov. It became a worldwide hit in discothèques and rose to the top of Romanian, French, Dutch, Portuguese, 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 felt in love with"[4]

In the autumn of 2009, 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 videoclip, 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]

Chart performance

On the issue date October 17, 2009, the song debuted at number 12 on the French Digital Singles Chart.[5] It became number-one on November 22, 2009, with more than 6,142 copies sold.[6] It reached its highest weekly sales on January 3, 2010 with 9,763 sales.[7] The song remained at number one for a total of eight consecutive weeks. On the issue date November 22, 2009, "Stereo Love" debuted at number two on the French Physical Singles Chart and became number-one on December 27, 2009. In Belgium (Wallonia), the single entered the Ultratop 40 at number 40 on 28 November 2009 and reached a peak of number two eleven weeks later. In the Netherlands, it was ranked for two weeks atop, eleven weeks in the top ten and 17 weeks in the top 40. In Switzerland, the single debuted at number 3 and peaked at number 2. In the UK the song entered the UK chart at #4 & 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 number 93 on the Canadian Hot 100 on the issue dated February 13, 2010. Three weeks later, "Stereo Love" reached the top forty and later peaked inside the top ten. Eventually, it was certified Platinum. It has also debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #93 on the week ending October 23, 2010 and has since risen to #16. In 2011, it peaked at #11 in the Pop Airplay Chart. It has also topped the Billboard Dance/Club Play at number 1, Billboard Digital Songs at 16, Billboard Airplay at 17, peaked at number 35 on both the Billboard Latin Songs, and Billboard Adult Pop songs, and peaked on the Billboard Ringtone charts at 40. [8]

In the United States, the single entered the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart at number 23 in the April 17, 2010 issue. During its second week it slipped to number 25, but in its fourth week saw a major move in the May 8, 2010 issue, moving 25-8, the biggest jump ever on the chart, and ultimately reaching the number one 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 number one 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.[9]

On the Italian FIMI chart the song peaked at number four for two non-consecutive weeks in April 2010 and spent 17 weeks within the top 10.

The official "Stereo Love" music video received more than 75 million YouTube hits during its first year on the site.[10] 'Stereo Love' is the song with the longest stay ever in the European Hot 100, accumulating 52 weeks. The previous record was held with the song Lady Gaga 'Poker Face'.

Version with Mia Martina

"Stereo Love"
Song

Ultra Records hired Canadian artist Mia Martina to record an official remix of Edward Maya's Stereo Love. The rights to an official remix were acquired by Ultra Records from Romanian label Cat Music.[55] As the writer and producer of the song Edward Maya is paid royalties every time all of the remixes are played and sold of the song, including the official remix featuring Mia Martina.

It was released to the Canadian market in September 2010 from Mia Martina's upcoming album Chasing the Rush. It is released on Ultra Records/EMI. The music video was directed by Marc André Debruyne.

On January 7 2011 Edward 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.[56] Edward Maya does not endorse any of her works, denies ever working with her and considers Mia Martina's cover version explained by the CP Records as a "remix" an infringement on his original song. At the moment, Mia Martina risks a lawsuit filled against, as the legal steps are taken. The article from the romanian artist's official web page contains the message sent by his lawyer to CP Records record label too.[56]

The original by Edward 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 there with Mia Martina, reaching #10.
