Notes


  1. Due to the lack of national chart Romanian Top 100 archives for the early 2010s, the airplay charts published at that time by Nielsen Music Control and Uniunea Producătorilor de Fonograme din România (UPFR) are taken into consideration for "Something New". It is unknown whether the two were affiliated with the Romanian Top 100, however their charts are reliable. Furthermore, the Airplay 100 replaced the Romanian Top 100 as Romania's national chart in February 2012 after the latter ceased its weekly issuing, but ended itself in November 2021.
  2. An English-language version, titled "Love Can Save It All", was also released.
  3. An English-language version, titled "Forget Me Not", was also released.
  4. Although there is a lack of archives to document the peak position of "Mi-ai luat mințiile" on the Airplay 100 chart, the song was listed as the eighth most-broadcast Romanian track on radio stations by Media Forest for the week of 11 September 2017.[10]
