Caféine debuts at...

#1 !!! Fantastic news, Christophe sold 45,000 copies of Caféine in just his first week. That puts him well ahead of the competition, for first place on the charts in France. The album also debuted at #10 in Switzerland.

Nice! What position did the single peak at?

In terms of radio airplay, Berlin peaked at #22. A bit disappointing, in my opinion. The video did better though, and is currently at #1, as far as I can tell! Also, digital downloads of Berlin were still rising as of last week, and had hit #5. :)

Oh wow #22 that's a big letdown. Isn't there one "singles" chart in France like the Hot 100 or the Top 40 in the UK?

P.S Hey Allie - I just got Cafeine on American Amazon.com. I know you and I were having a conversation via our YouTube accounts about that. It's $25 on Amazon and they take two weeks to ship it but it beats having to import it....

Oh sweet, thanks for the update about Amazon. Looks like the Canadian and UK stores have added it now too (although cd universe is still cheaper for me).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Muzicast is the official chart for French airplay. Their rankings are here:

Apparently Berlin just didn't really fit with mainstream radio stations in France. I'm glad the music video and the downloads have been so good though, since the song is brilliant!!

According to Charts in France Cafeine is #1 for the second consecutive week. Inventaire was exceptional and so is Cafeine. Earlier in the year Christophe appeared in two non-Cafeine events: The charity benefit Les Enfoires (dressed as Spiderman!) and singing the song Monopolie from the 70's rock opera Starmania. Both performances were amazing. Is there anything this guy can't do? Bravo Christophe!
