viva_celine Posted November 27, 2007 at 05:54 AM Posted November 27, 2007 at 05:54 AM Long time no post on this thread hehe... Just giving another set of updates about how Gregory's last album "La Voix d'un Ange" performed on the French, Swiss and Belgian Charts. In France, the album almost heading the diamond mark with 700,000 copies as of September after topping the charts for 6 weeks!http://www.lejdd.fr/cmc/culture/200738/dis...lops_56745.html In Belgium, it was certified platinum at the Wallonian charts (50,000 copies) while in Switzerland he shared the gold record plummet (10,000) with Celine Dion's "D'elles" and others who reached that certification. Recently a photo essay, "Mon frere l'artiste" (My brother, the artist) was published this month about his life as a star. His sister Leslie ushered the lauching with Michel Lafon who had done series of photographs of Greg at the peak of his popularity. Important FAQs you need to know after his earthly life and superstardom: The TV special "Gregory: La Voix d'un Ange" garned a rating of 47.3% (equivalent to 10.5 million viewers in France), which also successfully raised millions of euros for research on the deadly cystic fibrosis, one of TF1's highest rating program/TV special in May 2007 (source: Mediametrie France) @RRphantom: He may outsold Celine by 400,000-500,000, still Celine's "D'elles" was certified platinum by IFOP and looks like its chart performance is bouncing back as France anticipates her forthcoming world tour.
