Okay, we'll be the first to admit that Mylene Farmer is a weird chick. Her lyrics are obscure, her costumes are original, to say the least, and she breeds controversy better than anyone in Europe. But millions of fans can't all be wrong, can they? Probably the most famous and successful female singer in France right now, Mylene has sold millions of records, thanks to hits like "Maman A Tort," "On Est Tous Des Imbeciles," "Plus Grandir," "Desenchantee," "Pourvu Qu'elles Soient Douces," and "L'histoire d'une fee... c'est." She was also in the Guinness Book of World Records for the top-selling single of all time for "Desenchantee" and for most exported album of all time for Anamorphosee.

Her videos, since 1986's "Libertine", have mostly been long projects, ranging from 10 minutes to sometimes 20, and are mostly directed by Laurent Boutonnat. However, since the flop feature film project "Giorgino", her videos have been mostly directed by famous, well-respected artists, and most of them all filmed in the United States. Is a major recording star in Europe, especially in France. She released her first video and single in 1984, and her first album in 1986. As of March 2002, she has had ten albums, all huge hits in Europe. Is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records twice: For top-selling single of all-time, for 1991's "Désenchantée", and for most exported album of all-time, for 1995's "Anamorphosée". Her entire career has been based on mystery: Very little is known of Farmer as a person. Her professional recordings are all centered around themes like death, dying, blood, religion (she is opposed to it), and fatherhood. One of her idols is Greta Garbo; she has based her career on Garbo, building a mysterious persona over the years that remains a mystery for all, even her most ardent fans. Her surname, "Farmer", comes from actress Frances Farmer, a Hollywood actress who was famous for her iconoclasm, and was admitted to a mental institution by her mother and studio, and administered shock therapy. She made her feature-film debut in the 1994 film Giorgino, which was a critical and financial disaster. In fact, it made 1% of its budget.
