ZAZ's Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Champs ElyséesZAZ1rank/position

ZAZ – Champs Elysées (Clip officiel)

Zaz’s rendition of “Champs Elysées” is the perfect Western song for doing housework.

Originally released by Joe Dassin in 1969 and a massive hit, the song paints a story of enjoying the everyday delights of Paris.

In this version, the storyline of two people strolling through the lively heart of Paris and the upbeat arrangement by The Amazing Keystone Big Band are especially striking.

Zaz’s passionate vocals enhance the narrative, lift the listener’s mood, and are sure to boost your motivation while tackling chores!

Je veuxZAZ2rank/position

ZAZ – Je veux (Clip officiel)

Zaz, a songstress who represents France.

She’s a singer known for her wide expressive range—from an emotive vocal style that evokes the late Édith Piaf to energetic vocals that can put a smile on the faces of the French people.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend for lunchtime is “Je veux.” At first, it may sound a bit decadent, but I think you’ll sense a bright, inspiring message and musicality shining through the minor key.

A chic French sandwich is perfect for lunch, so be sure to give it a try!

Eblouie par la nuitZAZ3rank/position

ZAZ – Eblouie par la nuit (Clip officiel)

Zaz, an artist who represents France.

She has established a position akin to that of the late Édith Piaf, and her exceptional expressive power is praised around the world.

Among her works, one particularly moving masterpiece is “Éblouie par la nuit.” Because the lyrics are crafted in an abstract way, they don’t carry a clearly defined meaning.

However, the melody has a strong narrative, and when you align the melody with the lyrics, I believe it sings about the importance of never losing hope, even in the depths of despair.

It’s a masterpiece packed with the very essence of France, a country marked by many revolutions.

La Vie En RoseZAZ4rank/position

La vie en rose

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call “La Vie en rose” the most famous chanson.

It’s one of Édith Piaf’s signature songs.

In Japan, it’s known under the title “Barairo no Jinsei” (“A Rosy Life”).

The lyrics were actually written by Édith Piaf herself, which was quite rare for the time.

This time, I picked Zaz’s cover! Her voice is husky, yet she gives off an incredibly cute vibe.

It matches the mood of the song perfectly!

BelleZAZ5rank/position

ZAZ – Belle (Live)

One of the most beloved artists in France, Zaz.

If you like chanson, many of you in Japan probably know her.

She’s known for her bright vocals and husky voice, but despite being few, she has also released some darker songs.

One of her dark masterpieces is Belle.

While it exudes a stylish, quintessentially French atmosphere, the melody throughout the song is crafted to be poignantly dark.

It also has many elements that are close to Japanese melodies, so be sure to check it out.

Sous le ciel de ParisZAZ7rank/position

ZAZ – Sous le ciel de Paris (Clip officiel)

Zaz ranks again.

She’s an artist with overwhelming popularity and talent in France, so she keeps making the list (lol).

As you can tell from the title, “Sous le ciel de Paris” is a song set in Paris.

It features Latin-style sections reminiscent of Argentine tango as well as brighter sections, making it a very complex piece.

If you’re knowledgeable about music, try transcribing it—its complexity will really impress you!
