There aren't too many French pop stars, are there?

I mean, French pop stars that have gone on to international success. The markets in the UK and surrounding areas always produce great artists, but not so much France. These are the only ones I can think of:

Serge Gainsbourg
Grace Jones
Air
Les Nubians
Phoenix (keep an eye on these dudes.)
Daft Punk
Tahiti 80
Cassius
Les Rythmes Digitales
Jean-Luc Ponty

Any others?

Isn't Mirwais French? I would think he has some international success after producing two Madonna albums.

Bob Sinclar.



Superfunk.



Les Rhythmes Digitales aren't actually French, you know. Grace Jones is definitely Jamaican.
