Let's Make History ( Petra Bonmassar / Martin Frainer / Ina Wolf) made it into the German and Swiss charts, but did not bring further solo attempts, a best-of album entitled David Bisbal and a new edition of his first Spanish hit Ave Maria the desired success. The Spanish-Belgian singer Belle Pérez re- recorded this song in the summer of 2006 and achieved a summer hit and thus great success in Belgium and the Netherlands .
