Stromae and Pomme set a new record for a song in French with “Ma Meilleure Ennemie”, the soundtrack to season 2 ofArcane. In just 24 hours, the title accumulated 5.9 million streams on Spotify, becoming the most listened to French-speaking song over this period (again according to the rankings on Spotify), ranked first in France and eighth in the world top of the Swedish platform. On YouTube, it also crossed 5 million views in a few days
This title also marks the return of Stromae after an extended break due to health problems. The song, produced with his brother Luc Van Haver, combines the contrasting voices of Stromae and Pomme, which blend perfectly in a collaboration that surprised fans of the series, beyond the borders of the French-speaking world. It is therefore the greatest gift for us, the fans, to already have a series as exceptional asArcanebut also a soundtrack with a little French in it, it never hurts.
Alongside this success, Stromae was recently awarded the title of Commander of the Order of the Crown by King Philippe of Belgium, a tribute to his artistic contribution. The Belgian artist continues to win everything, to our greatest happiness. As for Pomme, it's much more than a simple helping hand, its collaborations are surgical, adding something indescribable to each of its appearances. She is the one we need in our roster artists at the top of French music.
