21 best Franch albums of the 21century.
We have therefore defined different criteria for electing our winners. On the one hand, the artistic and cultural importance of the record, i.e. its influence on the history of music and even on society in general. But also, of course, the pleasure and emotion it still gives us today, its pure beauty of sound. We also tried to see a wide aesthetic spectrum and not to stay in the comfort zone delimited by trendy pop, more or less intellectual songs and post-French-Touch electro, even if this triangle is still very present in our ranking. We felt it was essential to honour the variety (in the literal sense, of course) of talents present on our territory, and in passing to perhaps introduce you to some brilliant but discreet artists. We also had to honour certain figures who have become totally indispensable in our country, whether they are juveniles or "seniors".
