It was one of the singles from her first album Déraisonnable and was released in 1982 in France, and in March 1983 elsewhere. The version available on the 7" is shorter than on the album, as the musical bridge is shortened and there are fewer refrains. It immediately became a smash hit in many countries, reaching the top of the charts. In 1994, a CD maxi of remixes was released, but failed to chart. In 1993, the song was covered by Powerzone, who released its version as CD maxi and peaked at number 18 in Switzerland and remained in the top 40 for five weeks.[1] Chart performancesThe single was a commercial success, reaching the top one in Austria, and remained for 16 weeks in the top twenty.[2] In Norway, the single charted for 15 weeks in the top ten, including a peak at number two for two weeks.[3] The song appeared for ten weeks in the top 15 in Switzerland, with a peak at number two.[4] In Germany, "Africa" charted for 23 weeks and peaked at number three in its fourth week.[5] In France, there was no official singles chart then, but it reached Platinum status with a million copies sold.{{certification Cite Ref|region=France|title=Africa|artist=Laurens Rose|type=single|recent=false}} Track listings
