French Music

Since we were just talking about media a couple days ago, I thought we should cover music today. I found several lists of most popular music in France this week but I decided to go with YouTube’s list. I had no expectations of what type of music would be on the list but was pleasantly surprised. It was mostly hip hop and pop, just like you would expect for the US’s top 40. I’m confident that some of the songs listed were on the US’s top 40 at some time (songs like Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and Katy Perry’s “Chained to the Rhythm”). I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to check out some of these artists’ other songs, especially Lartiste. I highly suggest not just listening but watching the music videos. Some of them are very entertaining!

But of course, like with any country, not everyone listens to the most popular music. In fact, I know that some of you reading this, don’t like that type of music at all. Another type of French music that people like to listen to is French operas. Although operas have been around in France since the 17th century, most of the well-known operas come from the 19th century. Here’s a list of popular French opera songs:

And of course, French folk music! French folk music is a relatively new trend, not becoming popular until the 20th century. But has now become a popular music to play at festivals, concerts and bals folks!

If you’re planning a romantic evening, or just want some soothing music, check out:
