The “Star Academy” has not produced such a phenomenon for a long time. After his victory, Pierre Garnier became the darling of the public, and his song “Ceux qu’on été” crystallized his incredible popularity. Having gone on tour with his fellow talent artists, the 22-year-old singer performed concerts and interviews, while working on his first album. “ It’s true that I took it all at once. At first I was a little dizzy. But the fact of going home, seeing my family and meeting up with my friends, allowed me to keep my feet on the ground and tell myself that it was above all a plus for making music, for making a living from it. ” confides the Norman to 20minutesannouncing at the same time his solo tour, which is causing a stir on ticketing sites (120,000 tickets sold in 24 hours) and already has new dates.

A first gold record!
If his second single “Nous on sais”, in the running to become one of the hits of the summer, does not experience as overwhelming a success as “Ceux qu’on été”, it is still 10th in the airplay radio, ranks 29th in the Top Singles this week and currently has over 8 million streams on Spotify. And the song also contributes to the great reception that “Chaque seconds”, Pierre Garnier’s first album, met with. Released on June 7, the project containing 14 tracks, including a collaboration with Sofiane Pamart on “Pas une larme”, entered second in sales, blocked by Jul with “Mise à jour”. In the first week, the man who has just returned to the stage after canceling several concerts sold 32,118 copies of his album, thus achieving the best start for a first variety album since the creation of Top fusion (including streaming) in 2016.

In the second week, faced with the storming arrival of Lacrim with “Veni Vidi Vici”, Pierre Garnier dropped to third position behind Jul, and added 11,400 purchases of his album to his counter. The figures for the new Top Albums are in, and if Soprano takes the lead with “Freedom”, the young singer has nothing to be ashamed of. Indeed, the album “Chaque seconde” falls back to fifth position with 6,800 units, but this score allows him to cross a symbolic threshold. Indeed, Pierre Garnier’s first album is about to be certified gold for more than 50,000 copies sold, in just three weeks. It has precisely 50,384 equivalent sales, as revealed by Purecharts. Congratulations!
