With the French Open under way, I thought it appropriate to give this video a mention on the blog, featuring as it does the Roland Garros tennis stadium.
Martin Solveig's Hello was a top ten hit in France, and made the top 20 in the UK, and number one in other European countries. It still enjoys significant airplay in the UK, particularly on music TV channels, probably on the strength of the video.
Solveig, from Paris, was awarded the Chevalier Des Arts et Des Lettres from the French Minister of Culture in 2009 in recognition of his contribution to the arts and literature,
The song comes from the DJ and producer's album Smash, his fifth studio album, which is released in June 2011.
The video was filmed at Roland Garros the day before the 2010 Open started and was filmed in front of a live audience.
It features cameos by French number one ranked tennis star Gaël Monfil and Serbia's Novak Djokovic, the World number two ranked player.Neither would win the open in 2010, but both came out champions in this video.
