[citation needed] It also entered the Ultratop 50 (Wallonia) at 27, marking Hadise's first appearance on any Walloon chart.

On 21 October 2008, the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) announced that it had internally selected Hadise as its performer for the 54th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

[5] Hadise started off her promo tour in Malta, appearing on five television shows including the National Final where "What If We" by Chiara was chosen for Eurovision.

Her second destination was the Greek National Final where "This Is Our Night" by Sakis Rouvas was chosen for Eurovision.

The version of the song featured in the music video differs to the original as it has a new, more lively beat.

The selected music video for "Düm Tek Tek" was set to premiere during the TRT news on 15 March however, the video release was postponed as it was said TRT was unable to decide; TRT finally sent to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) the performance on the New Year's Eve show as its promo video.

When the music video for "Dum Tek Tek" was leaked on the internet, it was labelled as being too erotic, and was thought to be the reason why TRT did not release it, however Hadise's manager Süheyl Atay denied these claims and was quoted as saying: "TRT has no attitudes or enforcements restricting the productivity of the artist like it has never had up to now.

"[6] On 12 May 2009, the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in the Olimpiysky Arena in Moscow hosted by Channel One (C1R) and broadcast live throughout the continent.

In Russia, the song started rotation on May 28, and peaked #400 on its first day, consequently it succeeded number #251.

After Eurovision, "Düm Tek Tek" gained popularity on iTunes across Europe, in countries such as Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom, where the song entered the iTunes Top 100.

On 5 August Hadise's Eurovision Song Contest entry was also released on single in Japan.
