In the year 2000, Swedish radio program I afton dans in Sveriges Radio P4 held a voting where the song was appointed "Dansband song of the 20th century ".[6] The song has also been appointed "dansband hit song of all times".[7]

In 2006 Thorleifs participated at Sveriges Television's "Musikministeriet" recording "Gråt inga tårar" together with Balkan band Süperstar Orkestar from the Republic of Macedonia. During a test to combine Balkan music with dansband music, the song was re-arranged from major scale to minor scale, creating the original concept of "Dansband-Balkan music".[8] Süperstar Orkestar also recorded the song for the 2008 album Balkanized.[9]
