The success she's had in France is genuinely staggering, with a record-breaking list of number one singles throughout her career, including 1988's Pourvu qu'elles soient douces and N'oublie pas in June.
Along the way helped revolutionised the video clip, establishing it as more than just a means to sell records. Her new album will be one of 2018's biggest sellers in the country, and her run of shows in Paris next year are eagerly awaited.
I've heard her described as 'The French Madonna' , but I really don't think Madonna enjoys the same status as Mylène does in France. Mylène however, remains very much an unknown figure in the anglophone world, something that I'm sure her record company would like to change.
Maybe her music confuses an anglophone ear. While she's an artist with a knowledge of philosophy, poetry and provocation, much is this is lost in the language gap, and all that remains is perhaps not that inspiring to an audience with a more sophisticated ear.

She's just released a video for the title track of her recent Désobéissance album, which comes out at the end of the week in a special edition that includes a DVD and an unreleased track.
