French Sweep: May 13, 2014...

It's time to head east to check out the songs making the top-100 of the official singles chart in France this week, as Pharrell Williams digs in for a 22nd week at #1 with "Happy"....

I thought Coldplay's "Midnight" had a shot, entering at #5 last week, but alas it plummets to #37 this week. However their next track from their upcoming Ghost Stories album, "A Sky Full Of Stars", leaps in at #6, so who knows? Maybe next week will see a new leader...
