Chaque seconde is the debut studio album by French singer and songwriter Pierre Garnier. It was released on 7 June 2024 through Columbia Records (Sony Music France).

Background and promotion

Chaque seconde was recorded following Garnier's victory in the eleventh season of the reality TV show Star Academy. It also features a duet track with one of the guests from that same season, French composer and pianist Sofiane Pamart.[1] After this album, he officially announced his solo tour, which was played to sold-out crowds.[2][3]

The reissue of the album, including four previously unreleased tracks, was released on 22 November 2024.[4]

Commercial performance

Chaque seconde sold 19,594 copies in three days.[5] In one week, it sold 32,118 copies. Garnier achieved the best start for a debut French pop album since the creation of the Top Fusion (including streaming) in 2016.[6]

The album was certified gold in two weeks,[7] platinum in four months, and double platinum in eight months.[8][9]

Critical reception

Chaque seconde received a score of 3.5/5 on the website chartinfrance.net, indicating that the album "made in record time – comes out with honors", despite the lack of striking melodies and more personal lyrics.[10]
