Surfing on line I found this book (in French) that looks really interesting for someone trying to select/elect the best French songs. Baptiste Vignol has asked 276 singers to choose their 10 favorite songs... Available via Amazon.ca or Amazon.com Here is the playlist on Deezer (need subscription to listen for more than 30 seconds). From the same publisher (éditions Carpentier), plenty of books about singers...
