France's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has shot to the top of the charts with her latest album in its first full week on sale, a music industry body said.
There has been quite a lot of hype for the album because it is the first by the Italian-born former model turned pop star since her whirlwind romance with President Nicolas Sarkozy, whom she married in February less than three months after they met!
The album titled 'Comme si de rien n'etait' (As if nothing had happened) was released under her maiden name Carla Bruni. It hit stands on July 11 in a blaze of publicity. The SNEP, an industry group that tracks record sales, said that the album knocked 'Viva la Vida', the latest offering from British band Coldplay, off the top spot in the charts!
