By way of comparison, the previous album “One More Light” had achieved “only” 4,800 sales in May 2017. It's the best start of the year for an international group! So, Damso has to settle for second place with “I lied”. Thanks to a nice streaming score, which represents 74% of the total, the Belgian rapper sold 25,300 units of the project. Four years ago, “QALF” motivated 35,000 fans. Finally, Clara Luciani occupies third place in the ranking: her third opus “Mon sang”, evoking her motherhood, touched the hearts of 17,000 music lovers.
