'''''Histoires de''''' is a greatest hits album by French singer Mylène Farmer, released on 4 December 2020. It is her third compilation, after ''Les Mots'' (2001) and ''2001.2011'' (2011).
== Composition == Composed of 52 tracks, this compilation retraces Farmer's career up to that point and includes a previously unreleased song, "L'Âme dans l'eau", released two months earlier.
Songs from the albums ''Cendres de lune'', ''Ainsi soit je...'', ''L'Autre...'' and ''Anamorphosée'' are offered in their Live versions on disc 1; this is likely due to the fact that the singer's former label, ''Universal Music'', holding the rights to her material released between 1986 and 1997.
There are two songs that were not released during this time period which are also only available in a Live version: ''Mad World'', a cover of Tears for Fears in a duet with Gary Jules, and ''Diabolique mon ange'', the original version of which was on the album ''Bleu noir'' (2010).
On discs 2 and 3, songs released after 1999 (starting with singles from the album ''Innamoramento'') are offered in their original version, with the exception of ''Dégénération'' and ''C'est dans l'air'' (both from ''Point de suture'') which are offered in their single edits (shortened versions compared to the originals).
Some singles are absent, either because they did not have a Live version released after 1999, or by a deliberate choice, since the singer wanted to balance the number of songs from each album, which explains the presence on the last disc of certain songs that were not released as singles, such as ''À force de...'' (from ''Monkey Me''), ''Interstellaires'', ''Un jour ou l'autre'' (both from ''Interstellaires'') and ''Histoires de fesses'' (from ''Désobéissance'').
== Commercial performance == In France, the compilation was certified Gold within ten days for more than 50,000 copies sold. It was later certified Platinum two months later, having sold more than 100,000 copies.
