List of yé-yé singers

{{short description|None}}

The following is a list of yé-yé singers, a genre of pop music and associated youth culture that originated in the early 1960s in France and spread to other countries like Spain, Portugal and Italy. A female-fronted phenomenon, yé-yé singers were mostly teenage girls that sung flirty love songs. Nevertheless, almost all of the songwriters were male, as were the heads in the music industry and the specialized press.
