The French selection starts today and from the aired rehearsals it looks like they go all in this year. Show, backdrops and more Eurovision style from start. Looks really nice actually.
To celebrate this this start of the French Eurovision season I decided to present to you the France in Eurovision most played list. So here it is, the French entries played the most at “Chez moi”:
- 01 1977 “L’ oiseau et l’ enfant” – Marie Myriam
- 02 2016 “J’ ai cherché” – Amir
- 03 2004 “Il faut du temps” – Sandrine Francois
- 04 2001 “Je n’nai que mon âme” – Natasha St-Pier
- 05 2005 “Chacun pense a soi” – Ortal
- 06 1991 “Le dernier qui a parle” – Amina
- 07 2008 “Divine” – Sebastien Tellier
- 08 2017 “Requiem” – Alma
- 09 2010 “Allez Ola Ole” – Jessy Matador
- 10 2007 “Lamour a la française” – Les fatals picard

- 15 1995 “Il me donne rendez vous” – Nathalie Santamaria
- 16 1978 “Un, deux, trois” – Catherine Ferry

- 18 1999 “Je veux donner ma voix” – Nayah
- 19 1993 “Mama Corsica” – Patrick Fiori
- 20 2011 “Sognu” – Amaury Vassili
So thats the top 20 French songs, all according to my iTunes Playlist. But still, the best French entry ever never went to Eurovision, 1974 when ABBA won, a year when France should have won, “La vie a 25 and (Y’a pas de Mai’s se faire du bien)” – Dani
