| 4 | Chanson is actually the UsefulNotes/{{French|Language}} word for "song", but it's also a musical genre ("chanson française"). Whenever music lovers refer to chansons they tend to talk about the classy singers who sing about broken hearts and the struggles of life. But outside of UsefulNotes/{{France}}, generally every artist who sings in the French language is categorized as "chanson", even if they are rock or pop artists, especially in UsefulNotes/{{Belgium}} and UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}}. |

| 6 | Do not confuse it with ''shanson'', which is Russian criminal/urban romance music. |
