Tino Rossi, Franck Sinatra and Mariah Carey, all of them contributed to give rhythm to our Christmases. What are the favorite tunes of the French during this holiday season?
Whether they are classic or a bit more offbeat, some Christmas carols are an integral part of the magic of the holidays. From “Vive le vent” to “Petit papa Noël”, there is a whole collection. French-style like Tino Rossi or American-style with Frank Sinatra, we’ve always been singing Christmas. “These songs remind me of skiing”, highlighted a man. For another, it is a memory linked to “time spent in stores looking for gifts”.
The classics cross borders and are adapted in all languages. When the Wham group! fate “Last Christmas” in 1984, it is repeated nearly 400 times and in particular by Dalida who will make it a hymn to love. But in 2021, the flagship song remains “All I Want For Christmas Is You“, by Mariah Carey. Composed in 1994, it once again explodes the counters with 1 billion streams.
