France's most downloaded song at the moment is Come Home, by French Israeli singer Yael Naim, the video her performance from France's Victoires de la Musique awards last month - the French equivalent of the Grammys or the Brits - where she won the Female Singer of the Year award.
A great song and a great voice, and quite a performance on TV that no doubt led to the rush to download the tune. She was shortlisted against Vanessa Paradis, Coeur de Pirate and Asa. Yael had previously won the award for Album of the Year in the world music category in 2008 for her second album Yael Naim.
This was the first album that saw her working with musical collaborator David Donatien, who she continues to work with.
That album got a huge amount of attention after the song New Soul was featured in Apple's MacBook Air advert, reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 11 and number 2 in France after it picked up a lot of MTV airplay. It was also featured in a number of films. She even reached the giddy heights of voicing a character on the Simpsons.
Naim's third album, She was a Boy (Tot ou tard/Wagram), was released in late 2010.
