In addition, it peaked at number two in Spain, was a top five hit in Austria, but stalled at number 84 in the UK. It was a hit in West Germany, where it debuted at number 46 on 14 April 1986, jumped to number eight the next week, reached number two for two weeks and counted 18 weeks on the chart. In non-French-speaking countries, the song charted in its English version, titled "Irresistible". "Ouragan" also peaked at number eleven in Switzerland. It was the second best-selling single in 1986, behind " Les Démons de minuit", by Images. "Ouragan" thus became the first single to remain at the top of the French Singles Chart for at least ten weeks, beating the previous record hold by Peter and Sloane with "Besoin de rien, envie de toi" in 1985. The same year, it was certified Platinum single by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique, for at least one million sales. "Ouragan" achieved its biggest success in France, where it debuted at number 17 on the chart edition of 5 April 1986 and rocketed up the chart, reached the top position on 26 April, stayed there for ten consecutive weeks, and eventually charted for a total of 29 weeks. The video runs for 5:20 and uses a remix of the song that alternates between the original French lyrics and the English lyrics for "Irresistible." At the end of the video, in a significant plot twist, the stranger is revealed to be a male version of Stéphanie with slightly slicked down hair and little makeup. Eventually a video was made that features the princess in various locations pursuing a mysterious stranger in a hat. The only video available was some footage shot in the recording studio. No music video was produced initially, as the song was not expected to be such a success. The song was also recorded in English, under the name "Irresistible", in order to win over the Anglophones and other non-French speaking peoples - but with little success. When Jeanne Mas refused to record the song, the composer offered it to Stéphanie of Monaco, who finally accepted. Yves Roze, the song's producer, is known under the pseudonym of Jean-François Michael, who recorded "Adieu jolie Candy" in 1969. This song was written by Romano Musumarra, who had already written several hits for Jeanne Mas and Elsa. Released in 1986, it was a great success in France, where it topped the charts for almost three months, and in Germany. " Ouragan" ( French for " windstorm"), also released in English under the title " Irresistible", is the first single recorded by Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, from her debut album Besoin.
