Pop model is Belgian pop singer Lio's third studio album of entirely new material and fourth album overall. It features two of her biggest hits: Les brunes comptent pas pour des prunes and Fallait pas commencer. It is her second best-selling album and was certified gold in France.

Background

Pop model was released after the failure of her previous album, Amour toujours. Between the two albums, Lio teamed up with French TV presenter Jacky and scored a Top 50 hit with the single "Tétèoù?", written and produced by her then-boyfriend, singer-songwriter Alain Chamfort.
According to Lio's autobiography, Alain Chamfort worked on the production of the lead single "Les brunes comptent pas pour des prunes" as a "breakup gift".

Re-Issues

The album was originally released by the record company Polydor in 1986. It was re-released by Ze Records in 2005 with four bonus tracks, including a cover of T. Rex's "Hot Love", the English version of "Les brunes comptent pas pour des prunes" and the extended versions of many songs.
