record breaker

Last summer, when the Carla Bruni album “No Promises” was released on iTunes, we compiled a list of previous records by models-turned-musicians. Now, as the LP gets its official domestic release on good old-fashioned CD, we thought we’d return to Ms. Bruni’s lite ‘n’ literary chansons to see if they’ve stood the test of time—they have—and also to note that as far as we can determine, there are no previous records by models-turned-musicians-turned-wives of heads of state (unless—and this is a stretch—you include Hillary Clinton on the basis of her Wellesley-era featurette in “Time” and the audio book “It Takes a Village”). So: Way to set a precedent, Mme Sarkozy! Corrections welcome, and in the meantime—it’s your move, Irina.
