- #1 Linkin Park – From Zero (+2)
A significant rise, symptomatic of a loyal audience and an intact power of re-listening. The compilation Papercuts (still #4) reinforces this sprawling presence in the top 5. - #2 Indochina – Babel Babel (=)
Indochine's latest album remains one of the best-selling in France in all categories. - #3 Megadeth – Megadeth (↓)
