"En Rouge et Noir" is a 1986 French single recorded by Jeanne Mas. At present, it's undoubtedly the most known song of this artist.
In the music video, Jeanne Mas makes up and chooses dresses in a store, and carries out a photo meeting. At the time of the chorus, the singer appears in a band film which passes through the screen.
On French SNEP Singles Chart, the single debuted at number 14 on May 17, 1986. It reached #1 seven weeks later and stayed at this position for two consecutive weeks. It had concurrently 16 weeks in the top 10 and 23 weeks in the top 50. It left the chart on October 25, 1986.[1]
It wasn't certified by the SNEP, although its sales are similar with those of its preceding hit "Johnny, Johnny" which was awarded Gold disc. With "En Rouge et Noir", Jeanne Mas became the first artist to take down a second number in France.[2] [3]
According to the Infodisc Website, 832 000 copies of this song were sold and it is the 163th best selling single of all time in France[4].
There are different versions of the song : a 1983 version with a different chorus appeared on Les années chansons, published by the magazine Platine. This one, released without the singer's agreement, was prohibited of marketing ; in 1986. Two remixes were also recorded on 12", the "Special Remix 1" (available on Les plus grands succès de Jeanne Mas) and the "Spécial Remix 2" (available on limited edition of J'M - Le meilleur de Jeanne Mas). In 2006, the "Kamp house remix" was produced by DJ Esteban and is available on the first edition of album The Missing Flowers and on My 80's.
In 2005, the song was covered by Jean-Jacques Goldman, Lorie, Gérard Jugnot and Liane Foly at the time of Les Enfoirés's tour.
