Dadju spent the year on the road… together! Indeed, the star teamed up with Tayc for the joint album “Héritage”. Selling nearly 120,000 copies thanks to the great success of the single “I Love You”, the record allowed the tandem to embark on a major French tour, notably visiting the Accor Arena before a major residency at the Seine Musicale. For Christmas, the duo performed in Brazzaville in Congo, before continuing their tour in Toulouse, Dijon, Orléans, then Berlin or Hamburg. But solo, Dadju ends the year on a high note: his first album “Gentleman 2.0” has just been certified double diamond disc for more than a million copies sold in France. A first in his career!

Un million de “Gentleman 2.0”
It must be said that when it was released in November 2017, the album of the man who was then referred to as “the brother of Gims” exploded in the charts thanks to the singles “Bob Marley”, “Reine” and “Jaloux”. A nickname that he quickly got rid of to make a name for himself on the French Music scene. Directly entering number one in France upon its release with 31,000 purchases, “Gentleman 2.0” quickly became the third best seller of 2018 with 443,000 copies sold. Over the years, its counter has continued to climb and, with 84,000 new sales recorded since the start of 2024, it has officially exceeded the symbolic mark of one million sales.
For comparison, “Gentleman 2.0” sold more in France this year than the latest albums by Kendji Girac, Coldplay, Ariana Grande or Benson Boone! We are now awaiting Dadju's new solo album, which will be the first since “Cullinan” in 2022. Note that in this wake, his second album “Poison ou antidote” also generated 85,000 sales in France in 2024.
