Filoi Kai Ehthroi is the fourth album by Greek-Cypriot singer-songwriter Mihalis Hatzigiannis, released by Universal Music Greece under his own vanity label M2 on 6 December 2006 [1] [2] in Greece and Cyprus. Filoi Ki Ehthri reached number one on Greek and Cypriot charts where it remained for a considerable time achieving a 4× Platinum certification. The main sponsor is Conn-x powered by OTE. It was re-released as a "special edition" packed with Hatzigiannis's CD single "Pio Poli."
The following singles were released to radio stations and made into music videos:
"Ola I Tipota"
"Na Eisai Ekei"
"Heria Psila"
"An Den Kitazo Esena"'
"Tonight-Simera"
"Pio Poli"
Because of the success of the album on the charts, a new edition of the album was released, reaching number 1 again on Greek and Cypriot.[ citation needed] On Cypriot charts the album is currently[ when?] active in the top 3. The album contains all the songs from the standard edition plus four new songs.[ citation needed]
In 2007, the album had reached 3× platinum status. In 2008, the album reentered the Greek charts and was officially certified 4× platinum by the IFPI with confirmed sales of over 120,000 copies sold. Sales thresholds for certifications have varied over the decades, although traditionally a gold record was awarded for 20,000 copies and platinum for 40,000. However, as of 2006, the year the album was released, thresholds have been reduced to 15,000 for a gold certification and 30,000 for platinum, meaning that the album reached 4× Platinum at 120,000 copies instead of 160,000. This means that although this is Hatzigiannis' highest-certified album to date, the sales did not exceed that of his previous studio album, Akatallili Skini.
