Anna's first personal album is released! Its title is the one of the winning song of the Thessaloniki Song Festival: "As kanoume apopse mian archi". Among the composers/lyricists: Doros Georgiades, Antonis Vardis, Giannis Spanos, Manos Eleftheriou.
1978
"O Kirios Nobel/O! Maria" (7" Single)
1979
Her second album "Kitrino Galazio" is released and its success is astounding (Double Gold – 100.000), considering the young age of the artist.

New album! The title is "Ne!" (Yes!) and its greatest hits include "Oso echo foni", "To xero tha rthis xana" (Greek version of "Woman in love" by Barbra Streisand) and "Methismeni politia", which was the theme song for a very successful TV series by ERT television. The song, which is now one of her classic ones, was included in the album at the very last minute due to its very big success.

Her music label decided to release a best of album ("Ta kalitera mou tragoudia") containing some of her previous hits, as well as some songs found only in 7" singles.

The album "Anna Vissi" brings Anna's future husband, composer Nikos Karvelas, back in her life. Yiannis Parios participates as a lyricist, while Anna writes lyrics in the song "Kalimera kenourgia mou agapi", one of the most successful songs in her career.
1982
"Mono i agapi" is released by local branches of CBS across Europe (Holland, Spain, United Kingdom, Portugal) with English lyrics and the title is "Love is a lonely weekend". "I'm gonna be a fool for you" is the flip-side.
Leaving EMI, the company releases another best-of album!
In Greece, Anna’s new album is called "Ime to simera ki ise to chtes", in which all the lyrics are written by herself. The photographs on the sleeve of the album are taken by Nikos himself! The album is not available in any other format than LP/MC.

An album which denies all rumors about artistic separation of the couple: "Emis" (Us). This album is unique, as it is a joint album.

The album is also released in dual disk, a new and innovative format, combining a cd and a dvd at the same time, for the first time in Greece!

THE COMEBACK: After 3 years without a full album release, Anna Vissi is here!!!! Its title: "Apagorevmeno" (Forbidden)! Surely a masterpiece, non comparable to other Greek albums, Apagorevmeno is characterised by the plethora of famous composers, lyricists and producers who cooperated for the result, the stunning melodies and orchestrations, the exceptional lyrics by Eleana Vrachali and Myrto Kontova and three other names engaged in the production: the million-selling composer Patrick Leonard, the Grammy awarded producer Greg Ladanyi and the hits-creator Glenn Ballard! A completely big and new step for Greece’s bigger star ever!
