success

After the success of the first single Du (No. 1 in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, No. 2 in Switzerland and No. 8 in Austria), which was awarded a gold record within a very short time, the album fell short of expectations and only sold 17,000 times. However, the album produced another hit with Du bist anders (5th place in Germany, 17th place in Austria). You are different was promoted with a film appearance in the comedy That knocks the strongest twin around (1970). In this film, Maffay sang this song as well as the B-side Lazy Daisy .
