this sounds a bit strange... I know people in France like him a lot, but 200 000 in France alone (+ 30 000 in Korea) vs 524 000 worlwide ???
Anyway, here in France he's N°5 with Rain, and TBWKTM is starting to be properly marketed : top shelf and Christmas selection at La Fnac, ( which is our equivalent for HMV.)
But some french radios and televisions are still reluctant to play Rain...
I noticed something weird this morning : Rain is N°3 of the Virgin radio hitlist, while it's not even in the playlist of Virgin 17, the TV channel of the same network !!! Sometimes, i just don't understand how they work !!
Anyway, over here MIka IS selling, despite their best efforts !!!
Next april's Paris gig ( over 15 000 seats arena) is already sold out !!!
