🇫🇷France · 1955 Year-End Top 10

1955

1955 was the birth year of the French hit parade itself — 'La Bourse des Chansons' launched in Le Figaro in September, making this the earliest traceable French chart data. Chanson française artists dominated, with Georges Brassens's 'L'Auvergnat' marking the arrival of the singer-songwriter tradition that would define French popular music for decades.
