Mini World is the only studio album by French singer-songwriter Indila. It was released on 24 February 2014 by Capitol Music France, AZ and Island Def Jam. It is the first album to dethrone Racine carrée by Stromae from the top of the Top Albums chart.

To date, it has sold over 630,000 copies in France and approximately 850,000 worldwide, particularly in Belgium and Romania, where it was certified gold, as well as in Poland, where it received a diamond certification.

Background

The album's second single, "Tourner dans le vide", became associated with kickboxer Andrew Tate after it was used in several viral videos featuring him. Fighter Darren Till indirectly paid homage to Tate by walking out to the song during his UFC 282 match against Dricus Du Plessis.[1][2]

Singles

The lead single, "Dernière danse", was released on 18 November 2013.[3] Its music video premiered on 5 December, featuring intercut scenes of Indila singing against a panoramic view of Paris.[4][5] As of December 2024, the video has garnered over 1.228 billion views, making it the only French song to reach this milestone.[6][7] Following "Dernière danse", "Tourner dans le vide" was released as the album's second single on 24 March 2014.[8]

On 9 June, the third single from the album, "S.O.S", was released.[9] Its music video, shot in Greece, premiered on 27 June.[10] On 22 September, the album's fourth single, "Run Run" was released.[11] However, the music video for the song was not released.[12] "Love Story" was released as the fifth and final single from the album, on 27 October.[13] She teased then-upcoming music video of the song on 15 November, sharing an exclusive image which shows a caption of her name and the song's title "Love Story" floating on a glacier.[14] The video premiered at YouTube on 17 November.[15][16] Directed by Karim Ouaret, it serves as a continuation of the "S.O.S" video, concluding with a panel displaying the inscription "Love Story".[17][18]

Commercial performance

In Indila's home country of France, the album debuted at number one on the French Albums Chart and finished within the top three on the 2014 year-end chart.[19][20] The album also reached number one in several European territories, including Belgium (Wallonia) and Poland,[21][22] where it additionally placed at the top of the Polish year-end albums chart for 2014.[23] Elsewhere, Mini World peaked within the top five in Greece and the top 20 in Switzerland,[24][25] while also charting in Germany and the Netherlands.[26][27] Outside continental Europe, it entered the US Billboard's World Albums chart, reaching the top 15.[28]

Mini World was named Revelation Album of the Year at the 2015 Victoires de la Musique.[29]
