Entries for France and Belgium

Number 22 Edith Piaf - Milord : was released in France and Belgium in October 1959 with an immediate big success

Unfortunately the charts we have from Belgium are very sparse, with entries only back to 1965. The main French charts that we have only started in 1970, so too late for the song. We do have a listing of French numbers one records back to 1955, but that song is not on it.

If you can suggest charts that either cover Belgium before 1980 or France before 1970 we can take them into account and hence add the song.
