Rouge Sang
Rouge Sang is a studio album by French singer Renaud released in October 2, 2006. It gained particular media attention for the song "Elle est facho" ("She's a fascist") which portrays a female Front National voter. The song brought about a controversy because of its last verse "à la facho... qui vote Sarko" (to the fascist... who votes Sarko); Sarko being a nickname for the then minister and candidate for presidential election Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy's party, UMP considered the song an unreasonable attack on the run up to the elections, but Sarkozy still won while "Rouge  Sang" went platinum on the day of its release. The album spent nine weeks in the French top ten including two weeks at number 1 and it has gone on to sell over half a million copies. The album was later repackaged with a live CD of the associated tour, "Tournee Rouge Sang" Reception. The album received positive reviews.
