unprecedented achievement in the little Israeli music market. Artzi's next original album, "Tzima'on" ("Thirst"), which was released in 2002, featured the title track as its lead single, as well as the more memorable "Al-Pi Tnuat Harakavot" ("According to the Trains' Movement) LeHatzil Otakh ("To Save You") and "Ptzatzat Atom Bashamaim" ("Atom Bomb in the Sky"). The albums were an instant smash hit, selling over 60,000 copies (3× gold record) on the first two weeks of their release and continued the enormous success of their predecessors, yet they were met with harsh reviews, some of which noted the inadequate abundance of quality material.

Finally came out one of Artzi's biggest, most enduring and most memorable songs of recent years, "TeTa'aru Lakhem" ("Imagine Yourselves"), which features one of the best-known, most beloved lines in Artzi song catalog, equipped with a tender, infectious, eternally romantic message: "Imagine yourselves a beautiful world, a little less sad than it actually is, and there we are, walking, with sunshine in our pockets". The song is still a major live-show staple and highlight. 2010s In 2012 Artzi finally released a yet-again highly anticipated album of original songs: "Osher Express" ("Happiness Express"). This time around, though, the album enjoyed critical acclaim and commercial success. It featured a very strong collection of new songs, a slew of beloved singles and an intriguing, immediately classic lead-off single: "Khozrim Habaita" ("Coming Home") which featured the ultra-popular, rarely seen on public, iconic Israeli singer Arik
