1Yannick, Ces soirées-là (2000)
This song was THE song of 2000. It was Yannick’s second single from his debut album and became one of the best-selling singles of all time. This song was based on Claude François’ 1976 hit Cette année là which was actually a French remake of the English song in December 1963 (Oh, What a Night) by the band Four Seasons.
2Damien Sargue, Philippe D’Avilla and Grégori Baquet, Les Rois du monde (2000)
This song was on the 2000 French musical Roméo et Juliette, de la Haine à l’Amour (a musical based on William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet) and was a huge hit in France and in Belgium. It stayed at #1 for 17 weeks. The band received the award for ‘Francophone song of the year’ at the NRJ Music Awards. We are pretty sure this song is still one of the most played French songs from the 2000s in karaoke places.
3Alizée Moi, Lolita (2000)
This was Alizée’s first single from her debut album. She released this album when she was only 15 years old. The song is called Moi…Lolita because of her fresh and innocent look that could be compared to Vladimir Nabokov’s character Lolita. It stayed in the top 5 for 24 consecutive weeks and is the 31st best-selling song in France.
