Yes, thank you Ben.Daly!
The name rang a bell once I read it. My memory is not the same as it used to be.

From what I have read, France does not have a good track record of supporting their home grown artists for very long, unless your name happens to be Mylene. This especially holds true for female artists. This apparently is such a problem that the French government mandates that French radio stations play French artists 30% (I believe this is the correct figure) of the time.
A female artist named Louane is currently experiencing the same track as Alizee did. A big first album (2x Diamond with 1.8 million copies sold in France), followed by a still big but not as much second album (3x Platinum, selling 400K in France), then a Gold third album in 2020 (only 50K sold in France).
Then there are other factors in Alizee losing favor among the French after her second album: she grew up, leaving her Lolita image behind; the split with Mylene, which was considered traitorous to many; her getting married, which took her "off the market" and crushing many a young man's dreams; her hiatus and lack of contact with her fans ("out of sight, out of mind" applies here).
Even so, there still was a sizable remnant of French fans that have stayed true to Alizee throughout the years. Since twenty years have passed and Alizee has remained visible, I believe then trend will continue to go in her favor.
