Snow on the Sahara

Snow on the Sahara (English version) or Au nom de la lune (French version) is the fifth studio album and first international release by Indonesian singer Anggun. The French version was first released in France on 24 June 1997 by Columbia Records. The English version, also titled Anggun in some pressings, was later released internationally by major label Sony Music Entertainment in 33 countries throughout Asia, Europe, and America between late 1997 to early 1999. The album was a huge artistic departure from Anggun's earlier rock style, experimenting with world music sounds.

Anggun promoted the album for three years, touring many countries around the world. She performed on American TV programs such as The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Sessions at West 54th, and Penn & Teller's Sin City Spectacular. Several singles were released to promote the album, with "Snow on the Sahara" or "La neige au Sahara" being the most successful. It topped the charts in Italy, Spain, and several Asian countries, and became the most-played song of 1997 in France. The album received positive response from music critics, with American media The SouthtownStar ranking it as one of Top 25 Albums of the year. With sales of more than one million copies worldwide, Snow on the Sahara became the best-selling album by Asian artist outside Asia at the time.
