The end of the year is often a good time for rankings of the films that have had the most box office success, the artists who have sold the most concert tickets, or those who have sold the most albums. On November 19, Billboard France revealed the French female artists most listened to in audio and video streaming across the Atlantic. So, who do you think are the nine most streamed French singers in the United States in 2025?
Aya Nakamura is, of course, included in this ranking. But the French-speaking artist, who will be performing at the Stade de France next spring, is not on the podium. The singer of "Djadja" slips into 7th place in this ranking. Just behind her isthe greatÉdith Piaf, followed by Jain.
So, which singers will make it onto the podium of the most streamed French female artists across the Atlantic in 2025? Indila is the big winner! The French singer-songwriter and producer of Algerian origin enjoyed great success in France and around the world in 2014 with her first solo album, "Mini World." But it was her hit "Dernière Danse" that really allowed her to break several records. In 2023, the video for this cult song became the first French-language music video to exceed one billion views on YouTube.
In second place is Pomme, best known for her hit " Ma Meilleure Ennemie " with Stromae. The singer, crowned Female Artist of the Year at the Victoires de la Musique awards in 2021, now has four albums to her name, the latest of which is entitled "Saisons."
Finally,Yseult brings up the rear, finishing third in this ranking. The French singer-songwriter, who rose to fame in 2013 on the TV show Nouvelle Star, became the most listened-to French-speaking female artist on Spotify in 2024 thanks to her song " Alibi." Yseult also gained popularity in the United States by performing " My Way" at the Stade de France during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
This ranking, based on Luminate data, also includes Oklou, recently featured on NPR's Tiny Desk, and Alice Duport-Percier, who performed the soundtrack for the game " Clair Obscur: Expedition 33."
