Live Ballads is the first live CD or video album,and eleventh album overall by popular Greek singer Sakis Rouvas,released in Greece and Cyprus on 27 April 2006 by Minos EMI. The concert was recorded on 14 February 2006 as a special Valentine's Day performance called Sakis For Valentines. Sakis sang only love oriented ballads in both Greek and English from his large repertoire and covers of other artists. The concert was much more intimate than his common large-scale performances and was held at the Athens College auditorium where Rouvas performed especially for the students as a "thank you" to his young fans,often being called "The Singer of Youth".

S'eho Erotefthi is the tenth studio album by Greek singer Sakis Rouvas. The album was released on 6 April 2005 in Greece and debut at number 1 on the Greek albums chart, going Gold shortly after. The album eventually went Platinum. The album was also re-released as S'eho Erotefthi: Special Edition in November of the same year.
21os Akatallilos is the eighth studio album by Greek singer Sakis Rouvas and his second produced by Vangelis Yannopoulos, for Minos Emi. The album was released on 9 April 2000 in Greece and Cyprus, and debut at number one on the charts. As opposite to his former release Kati apo mena, there is no composition or any contribution by George Theofanous. Main composer was Stratos Diamandis and these songs were his first ever released. A tough bet taken by Sakis' producer, Vangelis Yannopoulos. Other remarkable contributions were the ones of two cult Greek bands Maskes and Ammos, plus the lyrics written by Greek actor star, Lakis Lazopoulos, and Greek lyricist Aris Davarakis. This album was Rouvas' fastest selling album ever since the beginning of his career. The dramatic instrumental introduction part of "Anteksa" featured, for many years, as the musical motto of all his live appearances. On track 6 "Stin mama sou", backing vocals are provided by his then manager Elias Psinakis and his then producer Vangelis Yannopoulos, by composer Stratos Diamandis and by other fellows who happened to be present at that moment in the studio premises... and were invited within the vocal booth.

The concert was the final stop on the musician's Benefit Tour for the Greek fire victims of 2007. The combined effort of the tour and other appearances by Rouvas raised over €1,000,000 in fundraiser, becoming one of the greatest sources of aid and relief. The majority of the proceeds of this concert went to fire victims in Greece, particularly those of the 2007 Greek forest fires, however, another intention was to promote blood donation which was running short in Athens. As a result, thousands of pints of blood were collected.
