the year 2008 started with a great achievement – paula had the chance to sing a duet with al bano in iași. al bano was definitely a great musician, a special personality, so paula was lucky to have met him and to have shared the stage with "the maestro" for five times already, and each time it was a joy and a blessing for her. later that year seling and her team, decided to make a "best of", sort of a compilation with the most important songs of the 10 years of her musical career. it included 19 tracks, some of them with their original orchestration, some of them with a new production, remade in unicorn records studio. the album was called "1998–2008".
