[edit] Miscellanea

  • Two weeks before its release, "Roc" had peaked at #2 (with Shakira's Hips Don't Lie being #1) in Virgin Mega.fr's Top 100 singles.[2]
  • The album is the first Nâdiya album to debut at the top position in France. It is also the her first album that reached the #1 position in France.
  • SNEP recently reveiled the best-selling singles during the first quarter of 2006 (from January 1 - March 31, 2006). Despite being released four weeks before the first quarter of 2006 ended, the "Tous ces mots" single managed the song to peak at number thirteen. [3]
  • The song "Dharma", although not literally referring to Lost, shows signs of being inspired by it, as she's singin' about a world full of mystery and millennia-old energy. In her song she uses "Dharma" as a synonym for "Truth".
