Description and chart performance

edit

It contains 36 songs from Zazie's six studio albums, Je, tu, ils, Zen, Made in Love, La Zizanie, Rodéo and Totem. It includes in live a song from Made in Live and four others from the singer's later tour, Totem Tour, plus the duets with Axel Bauer and Pascal Obispo which didn't appear on Zazie's studio albums.

It also contains two new songs, "FM Air", available in six versions released on collector-edition vinyl (limited edition) and the song "Un peu beaucoup".

The best-of was available in two versions : standard editions (two CD), and the collector edition (2 CD + DVD, in a set box).

The album went straight to number-one in France (compilations chart) and remained at this position for seven weeks. It also debuted atop in Belgium and remained for 14 weeks in the top ten. It was much less successful in Switzerland, staying for only nine weeks on the chart.
