French Charts Thread - 2013 weekly charts

The Jen vs France Gall controversy was really heated last week. Who knew that the controversy was that big? That is rather a low sales for Hallyday, especially since his last live album did well and his last studio album opened much larger. Vanessa Paradis should be able to pull a 100k either next week or the week after. She should be happy that her Paris tour dates are completely sold out and some other dates as well. I suppose Zaz and her label should be delighted with the sales now after a rather disappointing start. Emmanuel Moire has sold over 50k and reached Gold status. This is perhaps his best selling album to date. Rihanna should see album increase this week since she performed at Stade de France in Paris to a full crowd of 80,000 people!!!! She posted the photos on Instagram and made news on Charts in France about it too.

 

Blurred Lines may be the biggest 2013 single seller, as they finally reached number 1 in France and still selling at a healthy rate. Being also number 1 in the US, they can also set for a worldwide number 1 single of 2013!!!!! Miley should also have a massive promotion in France and she can possibly sell better than Party in the USA.

Christophe Maé can still sell albums like a beast!!!! Over 100k in a week is really amazing not only for the French market, but European market overall. I am assuming Vanessa Paradis must have gone over platinum sales number now (I hope). Jenifer held well, especially how L'amour & Moi underperformed and only sold over Gold status. I have been noticing that cover albums are doing really well in France lately, which is both interesting and odd. I think the Generation Goldman success has pretty much made it a trend, I guess. Hallyday also is selling with his live album, another trend. French albums sales overall looks better than last year. Bearing in mind, I don't think there were much cover or live albums that were released then. Studio albums from Daft Punk, Zaz and Maitre Gims are still selling like hotcakes too. Emmanuel Moire also is stabilizing. As for Beady Eyes and KT Tunstall flopping, can't say I'm surprised. Did these two artists even promote at all?

 

Also, félicitations for your blog being a year old!!! I enjoy your commentary on the French charts. Hopefully there will be more to come! :wub: :wub: :cheer: :cheer:

To be fair, L'amour & moi was released when Appelle-moi Jen had kind of left her looking like something of a joke. She did well to sell as well as she did (I believe L'amour has sold over 80k!) coming off the back of that. The one thing I will say about Ma déclaration is that while it may have got off to a solid start in sales, the lead single hasn't really caught the public eye at all :unsure: It looks like Jen is going to have to choose between the album buyers and the single buyers soon.

 

I'd also like to say congrats (and thank you!) to Gary for having his wonderful blog for so long, it's a great resource for the forum ^_^

@buzz person : Indeed, there was no promotion at all for Beady Eye and KT Tunstall.
