29.01.2009 - Jennifer Paige - Erfolgreicher Chart-Entry in Frankreich mit der Single "Ta Voix" (The Calling)



In Frankreich hat Jennifer die Rock Ballade "The Calling" mit dem
französischem Superstar Laam als Duett in einer englisch-französischen
Fassung aufgenommen und die Single unter dem Titel "Ta Voix"
veröffentlicht. Schauen Sie in das Video rein (Anlage).

Über 5 Wochen konnte sich die Single in den Top 100 der französischen Single-Charts mit dem Peak auf # 37 halten.

Im
Radio wurde die Single der Dauerbrenner (Heavy Rotation) und ist allein
bei dem Sender NRJ beinahe 200 x in 12 Wochen gespielt worden.
Die
Frequenz bei regionalen Radiosendern hat für Chartpositionen zwischen
#1 und #25 gesorgt. In den landesweiten Radiocharts wurde der Peak
sogar auf # 55 registiert.

Für Frankreich ist als nächste Single ein Remix von Jennifers Hit-Song "Crush" geplant.

In english would be something like this (corrections accepted, I'm still learning german):

29/01/2009 Jennifer Paige - Successfull chart entry in France with the single "Ta Voix" (The Calling)

Jennifer has recorded the rock ballad "The Calling" with the french superstar Laam, as a duet in an english-french version, and released the single with the title "Ta Voix". Check the video out.

The sing has kept over 5 weeks in the Top 100 of the french charts, with a peak at position 37.

On radio stations, the single had a heavy rotation, and was played by the station NJR nearly 200 times during 12 weeks.

At regional radio stations the positions were between 1 and 25. In national radio charts, the peak was registered at 55.

The next single for France is planned to be a remix of the Hit-Song Crush.

A new single a "Crush" remix... well, if it helps that people remember Jen... good, but BKS has great songs to become single.

Thanks for translating, Damián!!

Ta Voix debuted at no#37 on the French Top 100 dated December 12 & has since hovered just in or out of the Top 40: the latest available chart (January 24) has it at no#40. Obviously the track's had as much impact as it's going to & a new single by Lââm has either been released or soon will be. This article http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Laam/news-67427.html would seem to indicate that Ta Voix was an airplay hit that didn't inspire sales: it's unfortunate Jennifer wasn't able to cut the track with a male vocalist as I think it would then have had much more resonance than it did as sung by two women. But while I'm sure Ta Voix's qualified success was a disappointment I'm amazed Jennifer's return to at least a Top 40 chart seems to have hardly blipped the internet's radar - the official site doesn't even seem to refer to it. The generation of some buzz about Ta Voix being in the French Top 40 might have put a little more muscle behind the track.

Thanks realitychick2 for your opinion and the news.

I also think that the song is perfect for a duet with a male singer, to make a stronger contrast. Anyway, songs in different languages call everyone's attention always, so I was expecting a big success there in France.

It's true that Jen's official website it's not mantained as it should be. People who enter there don't really know what's going on with Jen's activity. That's we try to search and post news here and at jenniferpaige.net as soon as we find them.

How about Lââm in Canada? Is she well known there?

Lââm may have had some success in Quebec - there's a French language music scene there which is quite separate from what's heard in the rest of Canada.

Yeah, maybe a duet with a male singer could be better. But it seems that Lââm is very popular in France and she has a long career there, so the duet is good to promote Jen there.

What male singers would you suggest for a duet with Jen?

I have found "Ta Voix" tracklisting in Amazon.fr:

1. Ta Voix-The Calling (Radio Edit)
2. Ta Voix-The Calling (Instrumental)
3. I Do (Album Version)
4. Petite Soeur

I like duets with singers of bands. I thing she'd made a nice duet with Joakim Berg, the singer of the swedish band Kent.

Nice! It includes a song of each singer. I don't like the cover, they recycled Jen's album cover

Ta Voix still shows on the 14 February chart which is the most recent one published online - it drops from #43 to #47 in its ninth week.

Well, nine weeks are not that bad

It's since moved up to #46 & - in its 11th week - to #44!

What about the video, do they play it there?
