Interstellaires is the tenth studio album by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. It was released on 6 November 2015 in France by Polydor Records. It is produced by Martin Kierszenbaum and The Avener.

Singles

On 18 August, a new temporary site was launched, presenting a countdown whose timer was set to end on 28 August, announcing her return on the scenes with a brand new record. Its background pictured Farmer and British singer Sting, pointing out a collaborational work would have been indeed released. Furthermore, a buzzing loopy noise could be heard in its background. As expected, on 28 August their work was available on iTunes. "Stolen Car",[1] a cover from a song of the same name released in Sting's 2003 Sacred Love album, hit number one on the French chart.[2]

A promo single "Insondables", was released on 28 October 2015.[3]

"City of Love" was released as the second single of the album on 8 January 2016, followed by a remix by Martin Kierszenbaum featuring Shaggy in February, also peaking at number one on the French chart.[4]

Release and promotion

On 16 September, French magazine Gala announced Farmer's upcoming studio album title.[5] It was then officially confirmed on 16 September by the singer's recording label, Polydor, through its Facebook page.[6] Another temporaneous site was then launched with a timer set to the album release, as previously done with the "Stolen Car" single. Its layout pictured a nebula with flowing stars in the background and a deep, loud noise added, just like the one that could have already been heard with "Stolen Car"'s site, possibly matching the album core theme.[7]

Commercial reception

On the chart edition of 14 November 2015, Interstellaires debuted at number one on the French Album chart, performing which was then the highest weekly sales of 2015 in France, with 109,971 sales, including 6,153 downloads.[8] The next week, the album dropped to number three with 26.944 sales. At the same date, the album debuted at number one in the francophone part of Belgium (Wallonia), then dropped to number two. In both countries, it was dislodged by Johnny Hallyday's new studio album De l'amour. Interstellaires entered at a peak of number 21 in Flanders, which became the highest position for one of the singer's albums on that chart, and also charted in Germany and the Netherlands, where it peaked at number 79 and in Greece at number 70.Interstellaires also marked Farmer's debut on a Billboard chart, reaching number 9 on the World Chart.[9]
