French First Lady Tops In Record Sales

Wendy Aron, 07.26.2008, 11:25 AM

(EZ-Tracks) - Besides being a hit in political circles France’s First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, is taking the music industry by storm as the album she released last week peaked at the top of the charts, according to a Reuters report. The album has generated intense interest in France because it is the first by the Italian-born former model turned pop star since her whirlwind romance with President Nicolas Sarkozy, whom she married in February less than three months after they met. The new album, entitled "Comme si de rien n'etait" (As if nothing had happened) and released under the first lady's maiden name, Carla Bruni, hit stores on July 11 with a barrage of publicity. The SNEP, an industry group that tracks record sales, said on Wednesday that in the week starting July 13 the album knocked "Viva la Vida," the latest offering from British band Coldplay, off the top spot in the charts.

Well, the French have good taste in wine and food, but that doesn’t mean they have good taste in music. Sorry, Carla.
