Au Nom d'une Femme is the name of the second studio album recorded by the French singer Hélène Ségara. It was released in January 2000, and achieved a great success in France, Belgium (Wallonia) and Swizerland, remaining to date Ségara's most successful album in terms of sales.

[edit] Background

Second album, Au Nom d'une Femme was composed by various famous artists : as for the previous album, Loigerot, Geoffroy and Marc Nacash worked on several songs, and for the first time in Ségara's career, French singer Calogero composed one of her song, "Au Nom d'une Femme" (afterwards, he also wrote "Regarde").

In France, there were five singles from this album. The first four one were very successful : "Il y a trop de gens qui t'aiment", whose release precedeed that of the album, was #1 and achieved Platinum status, "Elle tu l'aimes" hit #3 and was also Platinum, "Parlez-moi de nous" (#15) and "Tu vas me quitter" (#7) were both certified Silver. "Au nom d'une Femme", the last single, was not a success (#44).[1]

In December 2000, the album was included in a box set also containing the first album, Cœur de verre, and peaked at #41 on French Albums Chart.

[edit] Chart performances

The album had a very long chart trajectories in the three countries where it was released. In France, even if it was unable to disloge Louise Attaque's album Comme on a dit, it managed to enter the chart at #2 on January 29, 2000, and stayed for four consecutive weeks at this place. It remained for 33 weeks in the top ten, 105 weeks in the top 100 and 109 weeks in the top 200,[2] and hit Diamond status.[3] It featured recpectively at #4 and #22 on 2000 and 2001 charts.[4] [5] In 2002 and 2003, the album was charted for ten weeks on the French Mid Price Chart, peaking at #9 on December 26, 2003.[6]

In Belgium (Wallonia), the album went to #28 on February 5, 2000, jumped to #3, then reached #2 for two weeks, and finally topped the chart for three not consecutive weeks. It was charted for 33 weeks in the top ten and 75 weeks in the top 40.[7] It was the best-selling album of 2000,[8] and the 23th one of 2001.[9]

Au Nom d'une Femme peaked at #9 in its second week, on February 13, 2000, remaning for 20 weeks in the top 50 and 59 weeks in the top 100, which is rather rare for a French artist in this country.[10]
