The Lebanese singer Elissa said that she considers herself “the number one singer” and that she is satisfied with the sales of her newest album.
 
Elissa also said that she hopes the new album will become the number one selling album throughout the Arab world.

 

At a recent press conference a journalist asked Elissa if she thinks her album sales will exceed that of the Egyptian superstar Amer Diab.

 

 “Amer Diab is a second class singer,” Elissa replied, mentioning that Diab is being sued in Madrid for stealing the music of a Spanish singer.
 
On the other hand, Elissa has started recording the songs for her newest album, to be released by the end of the year.  She will work with a number of well-known Egyptian poets and composers.
