For the second season of the Netflix series Emily in Paris, creator Darren Star chose an impressive fourteen artists and groups represented by IDOL to compose the soundtrack.

Whether you like the Emily in Paris series or not, this Netflix comedy was a hit. By the week of its release in October 2020, the series had reached the top 10 most-watched series according to Nielsen ratings. The UK was not spared, as the series stayed in the top 10 for 40 days straight.

Netflix revealed that in the first month alone, more than 58 million households followed the adventures of the young Chicagoan who arrived in Paris to work in a luxury marketing agency. Darren Star, the show’s creator, has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award, and Lily Collins, the lead actress, has been nominated for an MTV Movie & TV Award and a Golden Globe.

At the end of December 2021, Season 2 launched on Netflix, featuring no less than 16 tracks from the IDOL catalog. This exposure has a very real impact on streams, inciting Shazams and leading people to dedicated playlists on music platforms. “Nuit” by Yndi, which is featured in a key scene from this season, pushed the track over 450K streams in under one month!
