He had various singles that charted in Greece and Cyprus (obviously).

Two of his songs and one of his albums charted in France.

His two Eurovision entries charted in Sweden.

So I can't find any non-Eurovision song/album that charted in at least five different countries, sorry. :)

Well, it's a collection by my very own rules which state it's for "... musicians who charted in at least five different countries with any single or album that did not include their Eurovision entry." She had songs that charted Greece (obviously), in Cyprus, Russia ("Still in Love with You"), US Dance ("Call Me") and her album "Kravgi" charted in Australia and Turkey. So she was a borderline qualifier for this list, but she in fact met the criteria. :)
