Ayshalak

Ayshalak (Arabic: عايشالك) (English: I Live for You) is the third studio album by Lebanese singer Elissa released by Music Master on 14 June 2002. The album was well received by the public and critics, and achieved great commercial success with sales of 2.95 million copies in 2002. It ranked first in terms of sales in the Arab world upon its release, and remained number one on the charts for six months until mid-December 2002, when it was displaced by Ragheb Alama's album Tab Leh and dropped to second place. Many of the album's songs were translated into songs in other languages, including the titular song "Ayshalak" that was covered in Serbian, Turkish, and Russian. The song "Ajmal Ihssas" has been covered four times by different Turkish artists, including Ferhat Göçer, Firdevs, Zeynep Casalini, and Sinan Akçıl.
