Comments
Hundreds of comments and rumors come out regarding Anna's comeback! 3D covers, sonorous titles such as 'Panic', double CDs and collaborations with Christos Dantis and Giorgos Theofanous. The truth is much simpler and may explain part of the 'unwelcoming' audience treatment for Anna's new album.
Various tv reportages want Anna to earn up to 11.000.000 drachmas. Of course all the other artists' earnings are far below hers.
