French Sweep: August 5, 2014...

I'm ready to cross the Atlantic yet again to check out the songs making the top-100 on the official singles chart in France this week, as Lilly Wood & The Prick spend a third week at #1 with "Prayer In C"...

The top entry of the week at #45 is British singer-songwriter George Ezra with "Budapest", a song he's already had a big hit with in Germany and England....

Austrian DJ and producer Parov Stelar (aka Marcus Fuereder) lands his second hit in France with "All Night" at #57...

Dutch dance music artist Oliver Heldens takes "Gecko (Overdrive)" on to the chart at #73. It topped the British list a few weeks back..

French soul singer Ben L'Oncle Soul (named for the brand of rice) moves in at #75 with "You Got My Back". It follow's his "Hallelujah", which peaked at #80 a couple weeks ago..(there's no clip for this available. BOO!)

Parisian nu-disco act Synapson comes in at #83 with "Djon Maya Mai" featuring Victor Deme'. It's my "French Pick of the Week"...

American hitmakers Maroon 5 sneak in at #85 with "Maps". The band has placed four singles into the French Top-10, with "Moves Like Jagger" hitting #3 in August of 2011...

French reggae-pop singer Keen-V dances in at #89 with "Certains M'Appellent" ("Some Call Me"). It follows "Dis-Moi Oui", which went to #21 earlier this year...

Pop duo Cats On Trees, from the city of Toulouse, went to #3 with their first single "Sirens Call". Now they're at #94 with their cover of Selena Gomez's "Love You Like A Love Song"...

The final debut of the week comes from Australian sibling duo Angus & Julia Stone with "Grizzly Bear". Three years ago they went to #36 with "Big Jet Plane"...


I'll be back later with the latest in Germany...
