[edit] Charts and Sales

The album has had moderate success in France, where it has reached number seven on the download chart and sixteen on the main chart. However the album only held its peak position for one week on each chart and fell thereafter.[5][6] The album became more of a success in Mexico, where stores put the album on sale three days before the actual release to avoid piracy, and with only three-day sales the album debuted at number forty-four in the Mexican Top 100 Albums Chart and number fourteen on the International Chart. The album peaked at number twenty-one in the main chart and number three in the international chart in early December. After falling down the Mexican charts, the album has risen back up and has hit new peaks, reaching number fifteen on the Top 100 and number two on the International albums chart, which it held for three straight weeks before reaching number one.[7][8]

[edit] Psychédélices World Tour

On 2008, Alizée started a tour to promote her album, Psychédélices. The tour was highly focused in Mexico, that was because it's one of the countries where Alizée has experienced the most of her success. On 2008, she did one performance in Russia and five in Mexico. Later on in 2009, she had plans of making two more performances, one in Mexico and one in France. The performance in Paris, France on Le Grand Rex was cancelled, making this the only tour by Alizée that had no venues in France. Although she cancelled the French performance, the Mexican performance still was done.
