Less known in the Anglophone World but very popular in France and well known in Continental Europe. Partial charm I guess was also hearing good music with a text one understands, like in one's own language 
"Johnny Hallyday (French pronunciation: [dʒɔ.ni a.li.dɛ], stage name of Jean-Philippe Smet, born 15 June 1943) was a French[2][3][4] singer and actor.[5] He was married for 15 years to popular Bulgarian-French singer Sylvie Vartan and the two were considered a "golden couple" for 20 years. Hallyday has completed 181 tours, had 18 platinum albums, and has sold more than 110 million records worldwide,[6] making him one of the world's best-selling artists of all time.[7][8]
Hallyday remains largely unknown outside the Francophone world, thus earning the nickname "the biggest rock star you've never heard of" in English-speaking countries."
