YES at Indila getting another Top 10 hit with "Tourner Dans Le Vide". How many weeks has Stromae been #1 at with his album AND Pharrell Williams? (the latter needs to get off the #1 spot)

*Top 20

 

Stromae's album has been charting for 26 weeks and has been #1 for 24 of those weeks :drama: 'Happy' has been #1 for 11 weeks and Indila has spent 6 weeks at #2!

Top 20 was a typo, my bad!

 

I just need Indila to hit #1 but Stromae can stay at #1 as long as he wishes.

FNAC have started a big promotion this week which might help boost album sales - They have 30% most CDs and are also offering 4 CDs for 20€.... Wouldn't be surprised to see Stromae's 'Cheese' album get a boost as it's included in the offer and has massive shelf space!

The success of 'Cheese' is so funny to me, it really reminds me of Adele's 19 as much as that's an obvious comparison. I wonder how long it'll be until Stromae slows down? He's sent 'Ta fete' to radio which is his 4th single now, I have to wonder how much more they can milk the era.

 

Strange thing with this era is that the singles are following each other super quickly in comparison to the French usual. If you look at say, C2C, the gaps between singles they have is absolutely ludicrous (6 months or so?) and yet it worked for them because the French charts are incredibly slow. Yet Stromae still has three singles hovering around the top 20 and he's launching another, it feels a needlessly packed schedule.

Sales and the YTD post updated. This week was the week of Victoires de la musique which are very similar to the BRITs and explains certain movements, including:

• Racine carrée had a sales increase of 70% (52,400 sales)
• Random Access Memories had a sales increase of 25% (23,000)
• Maître Gims' Subliminal had a sales increase of 36% (21,700)
• Zaz' Recto verso had a sales increase of 88% (6,300, up 10 places)
• Stromae's Cheese had a sales increase of 11%
• Vanessa Paradis' Love Songs had an increase of 240% (rising 113-32)

I must say it's not the most spectacular impact, but Zaz is coming ever closer to Diamond so I'm glad :wub:

London Grammar could be heading for number one this week :cheer:

"Wasting my young years" was covered on a battle of The Voice on Saturday night and the original has rocketed to number 1 with a big lead and it seems to stay up there.

Are the French charts compiling sales from Sunday to Saturday like in the UK or is it from Monday to Sunday?

 

I think the album will easily go top5 as well.

London Grammar should get bigger sales in the next charts, since the ones posted above only feature one day of boost from The Voice !

It's brilliant nonetheless. :wub:

Are you sure this was with only one day of sales? :o I thought it looked like a full week boost, climbing all the way to #2 based on one day of sales is absolutely insane :lol:

Do the French charts include downloads?

How on earth does an album spend 6 months at #1 when it has been out less than 7 months :lol:

 

 

 

Do the French charts include downloads?

 

They do, but they didn't before 2011.

 

Stromae's success has always been down to having multiple hit songs at the same time that appeal to a wide mass of people. Like Adele, but even more hip.

If I was his record company, I'd be telling him to get an english language version out ASAP :lol:

 

I'm assuming it's a french language album?

Yep. It's also been widely successful in Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and it's picking up a lot of steam in the rest of Europe too.

How on earth does an album spend 6 months at #1 when it has been out less than 7 months :lol:

It's just an insane era, he's had multiple songs in the top 10 for so many different weeks at this stage and this is actually by far the weakest representation he's had on the singles chart since the first single was released. He has a new single prepping for release already ('Ta fête', currently #54 on iTunes) so I'm sure it'll sail into the top 10 soon enough and keep the era ticking along. It's complete and utter mania, similar to Adele like Ne Plus Ultra said but over a longer period of time.

 

Funny thing is it didn't even début at #1 :lol:

Are you sure this was with only one day of sales? :o I thought it looked like a full week boost, climbing all the way to #2 based on one day of sales is absolutely insane :lol:

 

I think so, the charts were originally posted the wednesday after the show aired (on a Saturday night) so assuming the French charts compile data from Monday to Sunday, they only had Sunday to benefitt from the exposure.

We get the new charts today (and we already know Indila is #1 with her album) so we'll get to know soon. :) I think they will hold on their #2 spot with the single and the album will probably go top5.

I wasn't far off for London Grammar, single is #3 et album is #6 :cheer:

Oh lord at the fake version of "Happy" as high as #11 :lol: :(

Edited March 5, 201411 yr by Umi

Wow, I knew Indila would sell quite a lot but 40k is huge - a higher sales week than either Tal or Shy'm have ever managed in their careers :o With 'Tourner dans le vide' a certain smash I can imagine this being one of the year's biggest albums. She has also charted at #73 with 'Love Story' and #81 with 'S.O.S'!

 

Not totally horrible for Amel Bent, though I must admit I find it funny that she charts at #11 when Indila is charting at #1 :lol: Really shows how she's been outdated, despite doing absolutely everything she can to stay relevant.

I'm hoping Indila holds onto #1 as long as possible from Stromae, even if I do love the latter as well. His run in France is ridiculous and if Indila can get even HALF the success of Racine Carrée then it'd be great (doubt it though as Stromae is basically an icon now amongst the French public..).
