You're much too young to be this crotchety.
Mylène's name surely helped, and her talent helped more, but if that were enough by itself then Lisa would have been a chart-topper. As for Psych, what you say is true but so what? France is not the world. The fact remains that Psychédélices sold 300,000 copies in six months -- doesn't matter where or to whom. That makes it a commercial success.
UEDS is a commercial failure not because it didn't sell well in France, but because it didn't sell well period. If her next album sells well globally, it doesn't matter if it fails to sell a single disc in France.
