Flammes

Flammes is a 2002 compilation album by the French pop act Niagara, released nine years after it broke up. It contains all the band's hit singles from its studio albums, and was released under three formats : the classic edition with a sole CD, a limited edition double CD whose second disc contains the extended versions, and a long box composed of two CD, a DVD containing the group's music videos (except for "Tchiki Boum") and a booklet with song lyrics and an overview of the band's history. This compilation topped the French Compilations Chart for three weeks and remained charted for 17 weeks (top 100). The DVD was also available as a stand-alone release.
