Maybe the Redcar album didn't trouble the list of bestselling albums in France in 2022, but there are other measures of success.
Who would have expected Chris to be reading a bedtime story on CBeebies - the BBC TV channel for young children?
Chris does a great job entertaining the pre-school audience here, and while it might be a million miles from the kind of performance they'd normally be associated with, it's a significant one in that it shows an artist who some might view as edgy can be accepted into the mainstream without any issue.
That she performs a lengthy spoken word piece in a second language is something that very few anglophone artists would be able to make a success,
Redcar les adorables étoiles (prologue) was released in November 2022. Christine and the Queens have 2023 live dates ahead, with the artist curating this year's Meltdown festival at the South Bank in London in June. Details of who will be on the bill are expected this Spring.
Meanwhile, France 4 broadcasts a special programme dedicated to the Redcar experience this evening. Whatever is in store is likely to be a bit different from her CBeebies performance.
