In 2018-2019, the French singers have once again shone in the international. The performance of Maître Gims, of offenbach accommodation, Charlotte Gainsbourg… have taken a new direction and brought in more than € 300 million in France. It is two times better than in 2012. And again, the real figure would be much larger if David Guetta was not so secretive about its revenue. “The number of artists certified to export has jumped from 26 to 37 in a year. As Aya Nakamura n°1 at the top in Holland which had not happened since Edith Piaf in 1961, more than half of these names were not there last year. It is extremely positive,” said Marc Thonon, director general, Bureau Export and honcho of the music “Made in France” at the international. If electro is still the most easy-to-export, rap with Nekfeu, AMI, MHD and Nishka is now recognized as the vector of the French language. The various charts of the Bureau Export reveal many surprises.
