About
C'est Chic is the second studio album by American band Chic, released on Atlantic Records in 1978. C'est Chic includes the band's classic hit "Le Freak", which topped the US Hot 100 chart, US R&B, and US Club Play in October 1978, selling six million copies in the US alone and is to date both Atlantic Records' and parent company Warner Music's best-selling single ever – a record it's held for nearly 30 year. C'est Chic also contains follow-up single "I Want Your Love" (#5 R&B, No. 7 Pop February 17, 1979) and the track that has since become the band's anthem; "Chic Cheer". The C'est Chic album reached No. 4 on Billboard's album chart and topped the US R&B chart for eleven week. C'est Chic was Billboard Magazine's 1979 R&B Album of the Year, claiming the number one spot on Billboard's Year End Review. The album was certified platinum by RIAA, selling well over a million copie. C'est Chic was transferred to compact disc and re-released by Atlantic Records/Warner Music in 1991 (catalogue number 7567-81552-2). The album was digitally remastered and re-issued by Warner Music Japan in 2011. .
