Marco_g2 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Big news here in The Netherlands right now is that "I Will Survive" by Hermes House Band is #1 in France this week? Is it true French chart watchers, or just fake news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator Samson Posted July 26, 2018 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) the original I Will Survive, by Gloria Gaynor, is #12 on the French singles chart this wk. Hermes House Band's is at #55. the French singles chart uses streaming + sales Hermes House Band's cover is #1 on the digital sales chart, Gloria Gaynor's is #2. digital sales in France never took off and have been dead in France since basically forever. it's always been physical sales and online pirating. currently the industry (for singles) is streaming > physical > digital.

ViviLittleM Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It's because of France's win @ World Cup It was the official song when France won in 1998, so people took this one for 2018 as well because official songs from this year were a mess.
