Full tracklists at the end of this page.

The 2LP version also includes three versions of I Didn't Know, Serhat's 2016 Sammarinese Eurovision entry.
I Didn't Know feat. Martha Wash
I Didn't Know - Mike Rizzo Funk Generation Remix
- I Didn't Know - Richard Cutmore Club Remix
Sorry I can't find a shop that sells it internationally. (do you know of one?)
Here's a Turkish shop that sells it, and This One sells to other countries. (Thanks Jean-François)

A 2CD version with 28 tracks is released out now and available throught the German Cap Sounds website (here) It has five Say Na Na Na's but all versions we already know from the cdsingle. (marked $ in the versions list).
Also has five versions of I Didn't Know, Serhat's 2016 entry.


Serhat (Hacıpaşalıoğlu) participated for San Marino in 2016 with I Did't Know but failed to reach the final. But Serhat has become a bit of a cult hero in Eurovision circles and we love him.
When he re-recorded his Eurovision entry with Weather Girl Martha Wash he scored a hit in the USA Billboard dance charts. Anyway, read all about Serhat's first adventure here at the Stockholm Collection.
