Thank you too!
MTV3 news only told of Alizée’s early years that a new star was born in France and so on.
This is the news:

It’s also noteworthy that the name was spelled a little wrong in that news once. Or it could be an editing error, so old news. And é mark is also missing, but it's pretty normal now.
Also, there have been some polls for the best summer song (Moi Lolita) etc in some media sometimes.
And indeed... There must have been a little more news at the time(?), but many news services archived them that they can no longer be found online, but MTV3 doesn’t archive them that much.
Unfortunately, it seems to be quite common that music other than in their own language and English music is not reported in many countries. Around the world...
For example, who in the West knows about some Chinese artists, even though their popularity can be huge?
I think the UK can be the same thing... And Alizée’s breakthrough
there in Britain was a rare achievement then, and quite short?!
The same in Finland, it is also rare for someone to succeed in the UK, and the biggest achievement is probably this Bomfunk MC Freestyler!
What was the big news then because of its rarity...
Admittedly, the difference was that the song is in English. Alizée rose to French by singing on the British charts. Although French is, of course, a bigger language than Finnish, it makes it more natural - but still the success of foreign-language artists in English-speaking countries is often rare!
