March 10, 200916 yr It should be a massive dance hit for the Belgian beauty. Just because it's in French & not in English is being bias. This song is a cover of the massive European pop hit from 1987 by French singer France Gall as a tribute to singer Ella Fitzgerald. I have already had this for 6 months on download. Where from? I've been looking for it for *ages*!
March 10, 200916 yr AATW are behind it...hopefully it can manage at least top 20 though, stunning pop track :wub:
March 10, 200916 yr How many French language top10 hits have there been? I can only think of these at the moment: Céline Dion - Tu M'aimes Encore (To Love Me Again) No7 September 1995 11-7-13-22-30-37- Sash! - Encore Une Fois - No2 March 1997 2-4-4-5-6-9-9-14-15-20-33-38-
March 10, 200916 yr To be fair people won't buy foreign language songs if they're not available. We can't make songs a hit if they're never released in the first place. At least if they're promoted heavily here and they still flop then call it bias, but that probably won't happen ('Ketchup Song', 'Gasolina' :puke:)
