The First 10 Million is the Hardest




When Nancy Ajram released her 7th album, it was meant to be big, but it was not just big it was HUGE! The artist that sold more than 30 million records, making her the best selling Arab singer in modern days. Her 7th album titled N 7 was hit, it did not have one weak song in it, every song was equally great.

But Nancy had another record breaking song in her latest album “Fi Hagat” a very touching song coming from a woman whose loved one ignored her feelings and pays little attention to the little things that drives them apart. The music video was an intense dose of reality. It's not about lack of love, it's about the lack of attention to details. The music video was so popular that on YouTube alone, it had generated more than 10 million views in four months. The pop star that comes close to this number is Haifa Wahbe with 3 million views on her music videos.

Nancy said on her official Facebook website that she is very happy about the number of views and has sent out a thank you letter to all her fans that watched the video. This is an unprecedented number for an Arab entertainers, putting Nancy at equal footing with global stars. The only way Nancy can go is higher and we are even bigger fans as Nancy branches out and collaborates with the best in the entertainment industry. The music video stands at 12 millions now as of late February.

There is another reason why the Nancy music video is a true achievement, it was directed by Naden Lebky, the female Lebanese director turned actress. Who have collaborated with Nancy on more than music video.
