Bilal Hassani Dreams of Becoming the World’s Biggest Pop Star

French singer Bilal Hassani wants to become the biggest pop star on the planet, an ambition he has held since he was a baby, rtl.be reported.

The artist discussed his career goals while appearing on the bel RTL program “Ils mériteraient d’être dans le journal” to promote his new album “Bonsoir Paris” and an upcoming tour in Belgium.

Benjamin Maréchal brought up a statement from the documentary “Bats-toi comme une fille, mon fils” where Hassani expressed a desire to become a legend. Hassani acknowledged that the phrasing sounds blunt on its own.

“It’s a bit goofy, maybe, for a lot of people, but I’ve actually dreamed of being the biggest pop star on the planet since I was really a baby,” Hassani said, according to rtl.be.

The singer views this grand ambition as a practical way to provide long-term direction rather than setting short limits. Without a distant target, he figures he might aim to fill just one or two concert venues, finish by age 30, and move on to something else.

The new twelve-track album “Bonsoir Paris” relies heavily on dance rhythms, party atmospheres, and themes of freedom, drawing inspiration from French and francophone cabaret aesthetics recognized worldwide, rtl.be noted.

Hassani will kick off his Belgian tour at La Madeleine in Brussels on December 17, marking his very first concert appearance in the country. The tour continues on April 23, 2027, at the Eden in Charleroi and on April 24, 2027, at the Reflektor in Liège.

Despite his massive goals, the performer rejected the idea of rushing through his career or inviting unnecessary pressure. He stated that things have moved forward calmly from the beginning without sudden, stressful spikes.

“I take care of myself and my goal is to still be touring for a fifteenth tour where I will say ‘the last one,’ when I’m 90 years old,” Hassani said, as reported by rtl.be.
