By Guillaume Vieira Posted on March 11, 2016 No Comments

Maybe the most legendary French language singer of all-time, Jacques Brel passed away in October 1978. Call it a cash-in or a celebration, exactly one decade later the set 15 Ans D’Amour was released.

Money For Nothing by Dire Straits (1988)

Out of the dreadful mid-80s sales context in France, Dire Straits was one of the very few acts to surface over the water. With a 1988 booming market, Christmas gifts around the corner and a compilation full of past hits, …

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman (1988)

Une Présence by François Feldman (1989)

By Guillaume Vieira Posted on March 9, 2016 No Comments

…But Seriously by Phil Collins (1989)

By Guillaume Vieira Posted on March 8, 2016 No Comments

Up to his fourth solo album, Phil Collins wasn’t the drummer of Genesis for long by 1989. One of the biggest acts of the 80s, he handled the transition to the 90s perfectly with the release of …But Seriously.

Sarbacane by Francis Cabrel (1989)

By Guillaume Vieira Posted on March 7, 2016 No Comments

Considering the amount of success received by Francis Cabrel after this album it is hard to believe that during 12 years and six albums up to 1989 he still had to get close to the million mark.
