Chérie FM La Playlist de 2002

2002 was a strange, glorious year for French pop. Indochine's 'J'ai demandé à la lune' was everywhere, Alizée was still a teenager, and every supermarket in the country repeated the same handful of songs until you knew them by heart. That's the year this channel bottles. There's no algorithm here. Just the hits as they actually sounded on French radio in 2002, from Natasha St-Pier's ballads to Shakira's 'Whenever, Wherever' and the inescapable sway of Las Ketchup. The tone leans soft and melodic, the way Chérie FM always has. No club tracks, no crate-digging obscurities. Just songs you'd forgo…
