The song remained at number one for a total of eight-consecutive weeks. It reached its highest-weekly sales on 3 January 2010 with 9,763 sales. It became number one on 22 November 2009, with more than 6,142 copies sold. On the issue date 17 October 2009, the song debuted at number 12 on the French Digital Singles Chart. The keyboard riff of this song was also used as a theme to "Zalim", a ubiquitous song written by the Turkish singer and songwriter Sezen Aksu, first recorded and released in 1995 by her former bassist and backing vocalist Levent Yüksel which was a smash hit that year, and then in 1996 by Sezen Aksu herself. 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". 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. Both the Office and Edward Maya later confirmed that Mansurov's work was in fact used in the making of "Stereo Love". In the video clip, the composer of "Stereo Love" was indicated as "anonymous". In the autumn of 2009, during his stay in Greece, 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". Lyrically, the song speaks of a passionate love between two people that is now dying, and their struggle to rekindle that flame. The song is most notable for featuring a riff played with an accordion by Maya. It is set in the key of C# minor with a simple chord progression of C#m-A-E-G#m. "Stereo Love" is set in common time with a moderate tempo of 127 beats per minute. The song won the Top Dance Song Award at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. The music video was filmed in Mykonos, Greece, as Edward Maya stated in an interview that Greece "was a place that I fell in love with". The song and the music video were both included on the compilation NRJ Music Awards 2010. It also became the second best-selling song from Romania after " Dragostea Din Tei". It became a worldwide hit in nightclubs and rose to the top of eleven national music charts and was certified eight-times Platinum in Norway, seven-times Platinum in Sweden, and Gold or higher in ten additional countries. The refrain is from " Bayatılar", composed by Azerbaijani musician Eldar Mansurov. " Stereo Love" is a 2009 song recorded by Romanian DJ Edward Maya with Moldovan-Romanian musician Vika Jigulina, released as their debut single in late 2009 from Maya's album, The Stereo Love Show.
