Werenoi Leads French Album Sales for Second Consecutive Year
The rapper from Montreuil tops the 2024 charts with 'Pyramide 2,' highlighting the dominance of French artists across genres.
- Werenoi's album 'Pyramide 2' secured the top spot in 2024 French album sales, followed by PLK's 'Chambre 140' and Indochine's double album 'Babel Babel.'
- French artists dominated the 2024 music charts, with 18 of the top 20 albums being French-language projects across various genres.
- Streaming saw significant growth in 2024, with 138 billion listens recorded, a 14% increase from the previous year, driven by popular tracks like 'Spider' by Gims-Dystinct.
- Despite their success, female artists remain underrepresented, with only 41 out of the top 200 albums being by women, though this marks a slight improvement.
- Werenoi plans to continue his momentum with a major performance at Paris La Défense Arena in January 2026.
