French Kiss

You know, it's great living in a country like Canada. You get exposed to so many different cultures. I started learning French at a very young age and have tried to keep it up ever since. One way I found of doing this was to listen to French pop. It's hard to believe but Patricia Kaas made her debut 20 years ago with "Mademoiselle Chante..." The first track off the CD has long been a favourite of mine, one of the few in French I can recite verse by verse. This album charted at No. 2 in the French album charts and stayed there for two months. It remained in the Top 10 for 64 weeks and spent 118 weeks in the top 100. Shortly after its appearance the album went gold in France (over 100,000 sold) and after three months it went platinum (over 350,000 sold). The album also went platinum in Belgium and Switzerland, and gold in Canada. Altogether "Mademoiselle chante..." has currently sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. This is "Mon mec a moi", loosely translated as "My guy"...
