Marc Lavoine is a 2001 album recorded by French singer-songwriter and actor Marc Lavoine. It was released on November 27, 2001, and even if it failed to reach the top ten, it achieved success in France and Belgium (Wallonia), where it remained charted respectively for two and one years.

Background

This album was composed of new songs and singer's old songs overdubbed as duets, such as "Chère amie (toutes mes excuses)" and "Paris". Lavoine's 1984 hit single "Elle a les yeux revolver" was also included as hidden track in a slower version. "Mucho embrasse-moi" is a cover version of Dalida's hit "Besame mucho", with other lyrics. 1980s singers and musicians Philippe Russo, Alain Lanty and Christophe Deschamps participated in the recording of the album.

The album provided four singles, included two top ten hits (two duets of the album : "J'ai tout oublié", with Cristina Marocco, and "Je ne veux qu'elle", with Claire Keim) and allowed Lavoine to obtain his first number-one hit. The other two singles, "Le Pont Mirabeau" and "J'aurais voul", flopped, failing the top 50 in France.

In France, the album started at #13 on October 13, 2001. It peaked at #11 in its 19th week and remained for 70 weeks in the top 50 and 96 weeks on the chart (top 150). It was eventually certified Double Platinum by the SNEP, the French provider. After leaving the albums chart, it topped the Top Mid'Price / Back Catalogue for four weeks.[1]
