Since its debut in 2015, nothing seems to stop it. Halsey now has more than 23 billion streams and has sold more than nine million albums. Manic is his third.
In March 2019, she even broke an atypical record by becoming the first artist to dethrone herself (twice!) In first place in the Air Songs ranking of Pop Songs. His song Without Me has been certified six times platinum single, was the most played song on American radio in 2019 and generated more than 60 billion views on Youtube…
Beginnings in 2015
With this third album, Halsey turns a corner and begins a world tour. "All I dare to hope is that my music finds a soul in which to nestle," she announced a few days ago on Twitter, delighted by the success of her Manic World Tour.

- h (@halsey) January 25, 2020The American author, composer and performer became known to the general public in 2015. She then published covers and parodies on Youtube, SoundCloud and Tumblr. It is not (only) passion that drives her to grab the microphone one day. Halsey mainly works on the song because she needs money. And her talent actually saves her: Badlands , her first album launched her career. It is immediately designated by the NME as the “pop revelation 2015”. The same year, she collaborated with Justin Bieber, The Weeknd or even with the group Imagine Dragons…
"Bisexual, bipolar and biracial"
On the Manic album, Halsey signs a duet with the Korean boy band BTS with whom she has become very friendly since their collaboration on the song Boy with luv . The singer called on Suga for an interlude duo between singing in English and rap in Korean, which symbolizes her international explosion.
The music of the 25-year-old artist, with electro-pop sounds, stems from his multiculturalism, an assumed source of inspiration. His mother is Italian, Irish and Hungarian. Her father is African American. From this mixture was born a musical universe that is sometimes compared to that of Miley Cyrus. Beyond his music, it is Halsey's personality and outspokenness that seduces his community and earns him new fans each year from around the world. His titles point out subjects like depression, mental health, drugs, sexuality, women's rights and the LGBTQ + community. Themes that touch on that which is defined as “Bisexual, bipolar and biracial. "

Ashley or Halsey, Parisian fans are already won over.
