Autumn 2008. The first users of Spotify in France place Coldplay, The Killers and Kanye West in the Top 3 of the most listened to artists in France on the platform, which has just been launched in six European countries. Three Anglo-Saxon groups or artists, including two pop rock. The first French artist, Serge Gainsbourg, only comes in 10th position.
Fifteen years later, in 2023, the picture is reversed, according to figures revealed Tuesday by Spotify. The first non-French-speaking artist to appear on the podium, The Weeknd, is relegated to 11th position. French rap took power. Marseillais Jul has held first place in the ranking since 2016, with the exception of 2019 when he was overtaken by his hip-hop colleagues, Ninho and PNL. While in 2008, no French song was in the Top 100 in France, in 2022, there were 52.
