Can anyone recommend some good francophone music? Stuff you can dance and/or sing along to at top volume would be appreciated.  
I’m already a little familiar with Mylene Farmer and I grew up listening to Canadian acts like Beau Dommage, Robert Paquin and Cano (I know Mylene was born in Montreal, but she calls herself an ExPat now).  
I’d love to hear any acts or particular songs that the Dopers are excited about.

Yay! Thank you!  
Air is one of my faves, I have their _Moon Safari_ CD and I listen to it all the time as “chill-out” music.

Jorane, the opening act for Chantal Kreviazuk. She’s very good.
