'''Transylvania''' ([[Romanian language|Romanian]]: ''Transilvania'' or ''Ardeal'', [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]]: ''Erdély'', [[German language|German]]: ''Siebenbürgen'', see also [[List of European regions with alternative names#T|other languages]]) forms the western and central parts of [[Romania]]. Transylvania was a [[principality]] during the [[Middle Ages]]. The main city [[Cluj-Napoca]], is considered to be the region's historic capital (although Transylvania has for long been ruled from [[Alba-Iulia]] - throughout its [[vassal]]age to the [[Ottoman Empire]], and the seat of its [[Transylvanian Diet|Diet]] was moved to [[Sibiu]] for some time in the 19th century).

"'''Ain't No Other Man'''" is lead single released by [[United States|American]] singer [[Christina Aguilera]] from her third studio album ''[[Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)|Back to Basics]]'' ([[2006]]). The single won a [[Grammy Award]] for the [[Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]] category in 2007.

==Song information==

In its extended version, mostly used in a [[Culture of Romania|Romanian cultural context]], the term ''Transylvania'' designates Transylvania-proper together with regions that have had fluctuating status towards the core area, the [[Kingdom of Hungary]], the [[Habsburg Monarchy]], or [[Wallachia]]n and [[Moldavia]]n [[hospodar]]s, while some others are solely defined according to their cultural specificity:

Produced by [[DJ Premier]] and Charles Roane, the song contains [[sampling (music)|samples]] from The Moon People's ''Hippy, Skippy, Moon Strut'' (1969) and ''The Cissy's Thang'' (1969) by The Soul Seven. It was released as the first [[single (music)|single]] from ''Back to Basics'' in June 2006 (see [[2006 in music]]); originally meant to be available for purchase on [[June 13]], it was released early to [[iTunes Music Store]] on [[June 3]]. It debuted on UK radio on [[June 7]], and also on Brazilian radio stations on the same day. It is thought to be Aguilera's comeback single, due to its strong chart performance after Aguilera's four-year hiatus from her previous studio album ''[[Stripped (Christina Aguilera album)|Stripped]]'' (2002). This song, contrary to popular belief, does not have a live brass section. The brass interludes are samples from a 1970's Latin funk track called "Happy Soul", performed by Dave Cortez and the Moon People. Obviously the drum track has been largely edited, and made to sound a lot bassier, but the main structure of the repeated brass riff is still intact.

*[[Banat]]

*[[Burzenland]]

*[[Crişana]] (and its more traditional form, ''[[Partium]]'')

*[[Maramureş]]

*[[Mezőség]]

*[[Nösnerland]]

*[[Székelyföld]]

*[[Ţara Moţilor]]

Another traditional division is the Hungarian (and [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian]]) administrative system: ''see '''[[Administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Hungary]]'''''. Other minor territories inside the region included [[Amlaş]], [[Ciceu]], [[Făgăraş]], [[Haţeg]], and [[Mărginimea Sibiului]]. In common reference, the Western border of Transylvania has come to be identified with the present Romania-[[Hungary]] border, established by the [[Treaty of Trianon]] (although the two are not identical).

DJ Premier said about the track: "It's pretty much about how Aguilera's husband has stolen her from the beginning", and it began receiving airplay on American radio stations within the same day. [[SonyBMG|Sony-BMG]] issued a statement regarding the release of the song, claiming that a full investigation would be launched in order to find out how the song was leaked, as they did not intend for the song to be released until after it premiered at the [[MTV Movie Awards 2006|2006 MTV Movie Awards]] on [[June 3]]. Because of the leak, [[RCA]] Records officially released the single to all U.S. radio stations the day after it leaked.

==Etymology==

:''Main article [[Historical names of Transylvania]]''

[[Big Boi]] from [[OutKast]] was scheduled to contribute a rap verse on the remix of the single. It is rumored that his record label pressured him to remove himself from the song to prevent the "Ain't No Other Man" remix from competing with [[Outkast]]'s own single, "The Mighty O." RCA subsequently replaced [[Big Boi]] with [[Houston, Texas|Houston]] rapper, [[Chamillionaire]]. Nonetheless, Chamillionaire's additional rap verse on the song proved not to be popular amongst fans and hardly received any radio airplay.

Transylvania was first referred to in a [[Latin]] document in 1075 as "Ultra silvam", meaning "beyond the forest". That name was later changed to "Transylvania", which has the same meaning.

The single was released over two weeks in the UK. CD1, featuring the Radio Edit and Instrumental is released on 24th July 2006. CD2, featuring the Album & A cappella versions, and two remixes of the track was released on [[July 31]] [[2006]]. The two weeks release of the single in the UK prevented it from going to #1 in the UK singles chart and peaked at #2 being blocked off by Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie". Had "Ain't No Other Man" had just one release it would have reached the top spot of the UK singles chart because it sales for that 1 week would have been enough to block of "Hips Don't Lie" off the top spot.

The German name ''Siebenbürgen'' means "seven cities", after the [[Transylvanian Saxons]]' cities in this region. The Hungarian name ''Erdély'' is derived from the Hungarian "Erdő-elve" meaning "beyond the forest". The Romanian name ''Ardeal'' is of uncertain origins.

"Ain't No Other Man" garnered Aguilera another nomination and win at the [[49th Annual Grammy Awards]] in the category [[Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]]. This is her fourth time being nominated in this category, and second win.

==Geography==

The Transylvanian plateau, 300 to 500 metres (1,000-1,600 feet) high, is drained by the [[Mureş River|Mureş]], [[Someş]], [[Körös River|Criş]], and [[Olt River|Olt]] rivers, as well as other tributaries of the [[Danube]]. This core of historical Transylvania roughly corresponds with nine counties of modern Romania. Other areas to the west and north, also added to Romania by peace treaties in 1919-20, are since that time widely considered part of Transylvania.

==Music video==

==Administrative divisions==

[[image:TransylvaniaProper.png|framed|Map of Romania with Transylvania in yellow]]

The [[music video]], directed by [[Bryan Barber]], was shot from [[May 1]] to [[May 3]] in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. In an interview with [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1539161/08222006/aguilera_christina.jhtml MTV], Aguilera stated, "it intrigued me that this man, Bryan Barber, had been very locked into and had surrounded himself with this whole world of the '20s and '30s era," in response to Barber's film project, [[Idlewild (film)|Idlewild]]. It was released exclusively to iTunes on [[June 20]] and went to number-one the following day on the iTunes video chart. It then premiered on [[MTV]]'s ''[[Making the Video]]'' on [[June 21]].

The music video is supposed to be set back in the 1920s to 1930s Era, where Christina Aguilera plays the role of her [[alter ego]], Baby Jane (a [[Peggy Lee]]/[[Judy Garland]]-ish nightclub singer). The name is shown on the car's plate and on her dressing room door. The video takes place mostly at a club, with Christina getting ready in the backstage area, and then coming up the stage performing along with the song. In between scenes, there were short vignettes that showed Aguilera in gold and silver dresses, singing to a mic, while photographers are taking pictures. She appeared in several looks; in one of the scenes, Christina appeared using rhinestone studded headphones, showed a bit of a modern day portrayal.

The territory known today as Transylvania consists of a region of 16 counties ([[Romanian language|Romanian]]: [[judeţ]]) which cover nearly 103 600 km&sup2; in central and northwest Romania. The 16 counties are [[Alba (county)|Alba]], [[Arad County|Arad]], [[Bihor]], [[Bistriţa-Năsăud]], [[Braşov County|Braşov]], [[Caraş-Severin]], [[Cluj]], [[Covasna County|Covasna]], [[Harghita]], [[Hunedoara County|Hunedoara]], [[Maramureş]], [[Mureş]], [[Sălaj]], [[Satu Mare County|Satu Mare]], [[Sibiu County|Sibiu]], and [[Timiş]].

In the beginning and in the end of the music video there are clips from another song from ''[[Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)|Back to Basics]]'', entitled "I Got Trouble."

The most important cities are [[Cluj-Napoca]] (318,027), [[Timişoara]] (317,651), [[Braşov]] (283,901), [[Oradea]] (206,527), [[Arad]] (172,824), [[Sibiu]] (155,045), [[Târgu Mureş]] (149,577), [[Baia Mare]] (137,976), and [[Satu Mare]] (115,630).

The song played as if it were on the radio with minor white noise.

The music video has been well received by audiences. On MTV's ''[[Total Request Live]]'', it has achieved the number one video spot on the countdown twenty two times, and was retired at number one, making it Christina's most successful video and the most successful video of 2006 of TRL. "Ain't No Other Man" is third only to [[Behind These Hazel Eyes]] by [[Kelly Clarkson]] and [[Me Against the Music]] by [[Britney Spears]] as the most successful female video on TRL of all time. It has also been in the top 5 videos on [[VH1]]'s Top 20 Countdown and number one in [[TMF]]'s top ten countdown in [[Europe]]. It was nominated at the [[2006 MTV Video Music Awards]] for [[MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year|Video of the Year]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video|Best Female Video]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video|Best Pop Video]], and [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography|Best Choreography]]

== Economy ==

==Chart performance==

Transylvania is rich in mineral resources, notably [[lignite]], [[iron]], [[lead]], [[manganese]], [[gold]], [[copper]], [[natural gas]], [[salt]], and [[sulfur]].

On [[June 15]], [[2006]], "Ain't No Other Man" debuted at number nineteen on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] as a result of strong [[digital download|download]]s. The song became Aguilera's highest debut on the Hot 100, a title that was previously held by "[[I Turn to You (Christina Aguilera song)|I Turn to You]]" (2000).<ref>''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]''. Bronson, Fred. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/chart_beat/bonus.jsp "Aguilera bounds into the Hot 100 with her highest debut yet"]. [[June 15]] [[2006]]. Retrieved [[June 21]] [[2006]].</ref> The song soared into the top ten before quickly peaking at number six. However, the song has proven to have longevity as it has spent nineteen consecutive weeks within the top forty. It has sold over 1,000,000 digital downloads in the United States making it [[Music recording sales certification|Platinum]]. "Ain't No Other Man" has been proven very successful, as it is Aguilera's first top ten hit on the Hot 100 since "Beautiful" back in late [[2002 in music|2002]]. The song has proven to be a big dance hit as well, where it reached number one on Billboard's [[Hot Dance Airplay]] and [[Hot Dance Club Play]] chart.

In the [[United Kingdom|UK]] "Ain't No Other Man" reached number two due in part to RCAs ridiculous release of spreading out the single to be released in 2 different weeks. This cost the song the #1 spot of the UK singles chart where it was blocked off by hips don't lie. The song debuted on the Canadian [[Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems|BDS]] Airplay Chart the same week it did in the U.S. (at number thirty-eight) and peaked at number three on [[August 19]] [[2006]]. It also reached number three on the Canadian Dance Chart. However, despite commercial success on these formats, it did not chart highly on the [[Canadian Singles Chart]] (number fourteen) perhaps because of the release of ''Back to Basics'' (that same week). "Ain't No Other Man" became Aguilera's most commercially successful single in Canada (10.000 units sold; Platinum) since "[[Fighter (song)|Fighter]]" (2003).

There are large iron and [[steel]], chemical, and [[textile]] industries. Stock raising, [[agriculture]], [[wine]] production, and fruit growing are important occupations. [[Timber]] is another valuable resource.

"Ain't No Other Man" became Aguilera's tenth top ten hit on [[Top 40 Mainstream|Top 40 Radio]], where it peaked at number seven. The song's performance on pop radio is similar to those of many of her past hits like "Fighter", "[[Can't Hold Us Down]]", and "[[Come on over Baby (All I Want Is You)|Come on Over Baby]]". It was also her first top ten hit on Top 40 Radio in over three years, with the last one being "Can't Hold Us Down" in [[2003 in music|mid-2003]].

Transylvania accounts for around 35% of Romania's GDP, and has a GDP per capita (PPP) of around $11,500, around 10% higher than the Romanian average.

The song has gone on to have unusual longevity on the radio charts. However, "Ain't No Other Man" has only peaked at number six. This song is now considered a successful comeback single due to its slow paced decline. On the Billboard 2006 Hot 100 Year-End chart, "Ain't No Other Man" was ranked thirty-second.<ref>''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]''. Bronson, Fred.

==Track listings==

According to the 2002 census, Transylvania has a population of 7,221,733, with a large Romanian majority (74.7%). In addition, there are also sizeable [[Hungarian minority in Romania|Hungarian]] (19.6%), [[Roma (people)|Roma]] (3.4%) and [[Transylvanian Saxons|German]] (0.7%) communities. 14 of the counties have Romanian majorities, and two are mostly Hungarian.

The 16th century was marked by the struggle between the [[Ottoman Empire]] and the [[Hasburg Empire]]. After [[Suleiman the Magnificent|Sultan Suleiman I]] overran central Hungary and established there the Turkish rule, Transylvania became a semi-independent region where Austrian and Turkish influences vied for supremacy for nearly two centuries.

Due to the fact that Transylvania was now beyond the reach of [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] religious authority, [[Protestant]] preaching such as [[Lutheran|Lutheranism]] and [[Calvinist|Calvinism]] were able to flourish. In 1568 the Edict of [[Turda]] proclaimed four religious expressions -[[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]], [[Lutheran|Lutheranism]], [[Calvinist|Calvinism]] and [[Unitarianism]] - as "accepted" (''receptae''), while [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodoxy]], which was the confession of the Romanian population, was proclaimed as "tolerated" (''tolerata''). The Edict of Turda is considered by mostly Hungarian historians as the first legal guarantee of religious freedom in Christian Europe.

The Báthory family came to power in 1571 and ruled Transylvania as princes under the Ottomans, and briefly under [[Habsburg Monarchy|Habsburg]] suzerainty, until 1600. The latter period of their rule saw a four-sided conflict in Transylvania involving the Transylvanians, the [[Austria]]ns, the Ottomans, and the Wallachian [[voivod]] [[Michael the Brave]]. The latter gained control of Transylvania in 1599 after the [[Battle of Şelimbăr]] and succeeded in uniting the three principalities of [[Wallachia]], [[Moldavia]] and Transylvania (the three main parts of present-day [[Romania]]). The union did not last long, however, as Michael was assassinated by mercenaries under the command of the Habsburg general [[Giorgio Basta]] in August 1601. Basta swore allegiance to the Habsburg Emperor, [[Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor|Rudolph II]] and by 1604 reclaimed the principality for Catholicism through the [[Counter Reformation]].

The [[Calvinist]] magnate of [[Bihar (Hungary)|Bihar county]] [[Stephen Bocskai]] managed to obtain, through the Peace of [[Vienna]] ([[June 23]], [[1606]]), religious liberty and political autonomy, the restoration of all confiscated estates, the repeal of all "unrighteous" judgments, and a complete retroactive amnesty for all Hungarians in [[Royal Hungary]], as well as his own recognition as independent sovereign prince of an enlarged Transylvania. Under Bocskai's successors Transylvania passed through a period of flourishment both for the religious movements and for the arts and culture. It was one of the few European countries where [[Roman Catholic]]s, [[Calvinist]]s, [[Lutheran]]s, and [[Unitarian]]s lived in mutual tolerance, but [[Orthodox]] [[Romanians]] were denied equal rights.

===Austrian Rule===

After the defeat of the Ottomans at the [[Battle of Vienna]] in 1683, the Habsburgs gradually began to impose their rule on the formerly autonomous Transylvania. Apart from strengthening the central government and administration, the Habsburgs also promoted the Roman Catholic Church, both as a uniting force and also as an instrument to reduce the influence of the Protestant nobility. In addition, they tried to persuade Orthodox clergymen to join the [[Greek Catholic]] Church. From 1711 onward the princes of Transylvania were replaced with Austrian governors and in 1765 Transylvania was declared a grand principality.

The [[The Revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas|revolutionary year 1848]] was marked by a great struggle between the Hungarians, the Romanians and the Habsburg Empire. Warfare erupted in November with both Romanian and Saxon troops, under Austrian command, battling the Hungarians led by the Polish general [[Józef Bem]]. He carried out a sweeping offensive through Transylvania, and [[Avram Iancu]] managed to retreat to harsh terrain of [[Apuseni Mountains]], mounting a [[guerrilla warfare|guerrilla]] campaign on Bem's forces. After the intervention by Tsar [[Nicholas I of Russia]]'s armies Bem's army was defeated decisively at the Battle of Temesvár ([[Timişoara]]) on [[9 August]] [[1849]].

After quashing the revolution, Austria imposed a repressive regime on Hungary, ruled Transylvania directly through a military governor and many medieval privileges and granted citizenship to the Romanians. However, in the [[Ausgleich|Compromise of 1867]], which established the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]], the special status of Transylvania ended and it was incorporated into the [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. While part of Austria-Hungary, a process of [[Magyarization]] affected Transylvania's Romanians and German Saxons.

Since the [[Austro-Hungarian]] empire had begun to disintegrate after the end of the [[First World War]], the nations living inside proclaimed their independence from the empire. The leaders of Transylvania's National Party passed a resolution calling for unification of all Romanians in a single state after a mass assembly on [[1 December]] in [[Alba Iulia]] which was aproved by the National Council of the Germans from Transylvania and the Council of the [[Danube Swabians]] from the [[Banat]]. In response, the Hungarian General Assembly of [[Cluj-Napoca|Cluj]] reaffirmed the loyalty of Hungarians from Transylvania to Hungary on [[December 22]] 1918.

The [[Treaty of Versailles]] placed Transylvania under the sovereignty of Romania, an ally of the [[Triple Entente]], and after the defeat in 1919 of [[Béla Kun]]'s [[Hungarian Soviet Republic]] by the Romanian army, the Treaties of [[Treaty of St. Germain|St. Germain]] (1919) and [[Treaty of Trianon|Trianon]] (signed in June 1920) further elaborated the status of Transylvania and defined the new border between the states of Hungary and Romania. King [[Ferdinand I of Romania]] and Queen [[Marie of Edinburgh|Maria of Romania]] were crowned at Alba Iulia in 1922 as King of all Romania.

In August 1940, the second [[Vienna Awards|Vienna Award]] gave the northern half of Transylvania to [[Hungary]] but after the [[Paris Peace Treaties, 1947|Treaty of Paris]] (1947) at the end of the [[Second World War]] the territory was returned to [[Romania]].
