I have just added some sales figures for the singles chart, http://francemusiccharts.wordpress.com/201...-singles-chart/

 

Those are some awful sales. The Top 10 sales seems really low, when compared with last month. Also, what is it with comeback artists having low sales numbers? Emmanuel Moire, Vanessa Paradis and now Christophe Maé. Then again, Vanessa Paradis and Christophe Maé will do extremely well when their album comes out and their tour does fantastic also. As for Emmanuel Moire, we'll just have to wait and see.

Carla Bruni debuted decently, despite very mixed reviews on iTunes. Kinda surprising how many of her songs managed to chart in the singles chart. Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Jenifer may see an increase in sales next week as their albums were down to 5.99 until a few days ago. Then again, download sales for albums in France is only a fraction of how much physical album sells. Looks like Macklemore, Rihanna and Bruno Mars will be the 2013 champions of singles sales at this stage, even though we are only in April. They are still selling like hotcakes and they have been in the charts for quite a while. As for Maé, like I said last week, his album sales and tours should make up for the disappointing sales with Tombé sous le charme.

Thanks for the updates every week! Really appreciate it! :wub:

 

So, another uneventful week at the charts this week as the Top 4 remains the same. That being said, I am really pleased that Macklemore and Pink have found success this year. Next week's chart could be interesting as Maude from the reality show "Les anges de la télérealite" released a single and it is doing surprisingly well on iTunes. It made news as it debuted at the top spot on iTunes. Whether or not if it holds remain to be seen, but it is still very impressive.
