French Sweep: June 18, 2013...

Hey guys it's time to cross the ocean to check out the new records selling in France this week, according to their official sales charts, as there finally is a new #1 as Robin Thicke takes over with "Blurred Lines"...

The top entry of the week is Belgian dance music artist Stromae with "Formidable" ("Great") which barrels in at #5. In 2009 he topped the chart here with his international smash "Alors En Danse"...this one is my "French Pick of the Week"...
