Bonjour, mes amis, it's time to cross the Atlantic yet again to check out the songs reaching the official sales chart top-100 in France this week, as Pharrell shows no signs of letting go as he spends a nineteenth non-consecutive week at #1 with "Happy"...

The top debut of the week and this week's "French Pick of the Week" comes from the country's top dance DJ/producer, David Guetta, with "Bad" featuring Dutch EDM act Showtek and Australian singer Vassy, which arrives at #6, the same rank as his last single, "Shot Me Down", did a couple of months ago...
