New albums chart's commentary for the week ending 30th December, http://francemusiccharts.wordpress.com/201...2-albums-chart/

:o at Celine Dion shifting 568,000 albums in 8 weeks! Its UK performance could not differ more - It missed the Top 100 and i doubt has reached 5k of sales :lol:

Top 200 added, http://francemusiccharts.wordpress.com/201...2-albums-chart/

For Umi : "Caméléon" has sold 8,591 sales. ;)

Thanks :lol: So that puts it on 181.5k, I'll say 3 more weeks until it passes 200k ^_^

That is manically insane!!! If she keeps selling at this rate, she can reach a million at some point this year!!!! Of course, album sales might go down to normal (and quiet) pacing by March/April, that being the top album selling typically 15-20k but can't see this album slowing down just yet. Speaking of which, aside from Adele's 21, which other artists in recent years managed to sell 1 million albums in France?

I would say :

Raphael, "Caravane"

Christophe Maé, "Mon Paradis"

Bénabar, "Reprise Des Négociations"

Amy Winehouse, "Back To Black"

Yannick Noah, "Charango"

Mika, "Life In Cartoon Motion"

Seal, "Soul"

Wow! Mon Paradis? I knew it reached Diamond status, but that was a good surprise! :wub: I remember On S'attache being mega huge at the time (despite sales in France, let alone Europe were not that great. Granted, chart companies in many countries/territories were in their first few years of having download charts - merged with singles/albums chart or not). My favourite track from the album was Mon Paradis itself. He is still selling like crazy now. I am also starting to like M. Pokora a lot more now.
