Following 1½ years of hard work, his debut album "

The total sales reached 500,000 copies at the end of four months which made Yalın's debut one of highest selling records in 2004.With his second album "
Bir Bakmışsın ", Yalın arguably outdid the musical achievements of his first album.

The album was brought together by the same group of musicians that Yalın worked with in his first album.In
