When I got things under way earlier this year, I had intended to do a regular look at the charts in France, but it seems that they don't turn over terribly often. Israel Kamakawiwoole is still at number one hnd has seemingly been there for ages.
While a great song, it was released years ago and in the UK at least it's more associated with a deodorant advert than anything else.
Meanwhile, most of the others in the top ten are 'international' artists (Taio Cruz, Black Eyed Peas, Shakira...etc)
However, Mylene farmer makes a strong case for France with Oui Mais...Non, (Polydor/Universal) still in the top five.
It's a very Gaga style video, interesting to see how Gaga's also being accused of being more than a little 'influenced' by Mylene's Libertine (1986) for her Born This Way song (2011) Hmmm...
Watch article from M6 news >
I'm sure there are fans of both artists who would make their case equally strongly, although personally I would just want to see Mylene Farmer to be as big an artist internationally as Gaga is.
