Nº5 on Tour is a double live album by French singer Mylène Farmer which documents her 2009 tour Mylène Farmer en tournée. It is her fifth live album and her 15th album overall. It was released on 7 December 2009, and it includes the standard set list that she sang during the indoor shows in France. Initial reports proclaimed "Libertine" was going to be the first single, however that was proven wrong with the official report.

The DVD of the tour was released in April 2010 and documents the outdoor shows that took place at the Stade de France, in Paris, on 12 September 2009.{{cite web |author=Thierry Cadet |title=Farmer Numéro 5 on Tour : 7 décembre en bacs |url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Mylene-Farmer/news-68893.html |publisher=Chartsinfrance |language=fr |date=5 November 2009 |access-date=6 November 2009}}{{cite web |title=Mylène Farmer N°5 on Tour en nouvel album live |url=http://www.musiqueradio.com/article_news8741_mylene-farmer-n5-on-tour-en-nouvel-album-live.php |publisher=Musique Radio |language=fr |date=5 November 2009 |access-date=7 November 2009}} Surprisingly, the live version of the fourth single from the album Point de suture, "C'est dans l'air", was officially announced as the first single from the live album, on 26 November 2009.{{cite web |title=Single live enfin révélé |url=http://www.mylene.net/modules/index.php?r=4&z=2294 |website=mylene.net |date=26 November 2009 |language=fr |access-date=26 November 2009}} The next single was "Paradis inanimé".

For the first time throughout the singer's career, the film of the concert, entitled "Mylène Farmer au Stade de France", was screened at the cinema. It was broadcast on 11 April 2010 at 8.30 pm in 19 cinemas in France.{{cite web |title=Week-end de folie avec Mylène Farmer |url=http://mylene.net/presse/presse2010/mylene-farmer_presse_france-soir_10-04-2010_005.jpg |work=France Soir |date=10 April 2010 |publisher=Mylène.net |author=Loïc Torino-Gilles |language=fr |access-date=8 May 2010}}

For the first time, the DVD was released in Canada, on 4 May, after being officially screened by DEP / Universal Music Canada in Montréal one day earlier. The DVD was also available in Belgium (13 April), in Poland (23 April).

Critical reception

=CD=

Critical reception was very positive. France Soir stated: "Big hits, laughters, tears, shouts, "I love you"... Nothing is missing from this double CD. (...) Mylène Farmer offers her public a dynamic live performance, mixed with vocal cracks and even wrong notes. And it's good!"{{cite web |title=Les divines imperfections de Mylène Farmer |url=http://www.francesoir.fr/musique/2009/12/07/les-divines-imperfections-de-mylene-farmer.html |publisher=France Soir |author=Loïc Torino-Gilles |date=7 December 2009 |language=fr |access-date=7 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091213022444/http://www.francesoir.fr/musique/2009/12/07/les-divines-imperfections-de-mylene-farmer.html |archive-date=13 December 2009 |url-status=dead }} Voici said the album is "the singer's best live album since Live à Bercy in 1996".{{cite magazine |title=Mylène Farmer : son album live démarre fort ! |url=http://www.voici.fr/potins-people/les-potins-du-jour/mylene-farmer-son-album-live-demarre-fort-331537# |magazine=Voici |date=8 December 2009 |language=fr |access-date=12 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219211410/http://www.voici.fr/news-people/actu-people/mylene-farmer-son-album-live-demarre-fort-331537 |archive-date=19 February 2012 |df=dmy-all }} According to Vacarm, this album "reflects comprehensively the worked up atmosphere of concerts". However, it criticized "the lack of authenticity" on some songs and the "intrusion of the redundant and predictable "Rêver"", but said that "the sound is huge and rearranged, the public rather mixed down, and Mylène Farmer's slight vocal imperfections are, for once, not removed".{{cite web |author=Arno Mothra |title=Mylène Farmer - N°5 On Tour |url=http://www.vacarm.net/content/view/4754/100/ |publisher=Vacarm |date=9 December 2009 |language=fr |access-date=12 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091213121656/http://www.vacarm.net/content/view/4754/100 |archive-date=13 December 2009 |url-status=dead }}

The album entered the French Albums Chart at number one and the digital chart at number four on 12 December 2009. In the second week it dropped to number three and totalled four non-consecutive weeks in the top 10. Then it dropped very quickly, and fell out of the top 100 after 13 weeks, but jumped at number 23 in April 2010 when the DVD was released. This chart performance is quite better than the previous live album's one.{{cite web |title=Tops Albums: Mylène Farmer entre en tête |url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Mylene-Farmer/news-69130.html |publisher=Chartsinfrance |author=Thierry Cadet |date=15 December 2009 |language=fr |access-date=15 December 2009}}{{cite web |title=Mylène Farmer - N°5 On Tour |url=http://lescharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Myl%E8ne+Farmer&titel=N%B05+On+Tour&cat=a |publisher=lescharts.com |author=lescharts.com |date=20 April 2010 |language=fr |access-date=20 April 2010}} It also debuted at number one in Belgium and number 14 in Switzerland. It reached number six in its second week in Russia.

The DVD / Blu-ray release was promoted on 16 April 2010 on the French television channel TF1 in a 20-second advertisement composed of various images from the concert. Universal Music announced that over 250,000 copies were placed in stores. The DVD / Blu-ray received positive reviews from critics and in the media. For example, Le Matin said "the film renders perfectly the atmosphere of the arena of Paris".{{cite web |title=Mylène Farmer : images d'un show mémorable |url=http://mylene.net/presse/presse2010/mylene-farmer_presse_le-matin_25-04-2010_003.jpg |work=Le Matin |date=25 April 2010 |publisher=Mylene.net |language=fr |access-date=8 May 2010}} Télé 2 Semaines stated it is "a beautiful recording, (...) everything is almost perfect".{{cite web |title=Mylène Farmer - Le DVD |url=http://mylene.net/presse/presse2010/mylene-farmer_presse_tele-2-semaines_avril-2010_001.jpg |work=Télé 2 semaines |publisher=Mylene.net |date=April 2010 |language=fr |access-date=8 May 2010}} Télé Moustique criticized the techno arrangements deemed as a bit outdated, but praised the lighting arrangements.{{cite web |title=Divine idylle |url=http://mylene.net/presse/presse2010/mylene-farmer_presse_tele-moustique_avril-2010_001.jpg |work=Télé Moustique|publisher=Mylène.net |date=April 2010 |language=fr |access-date=8 May 2010}} Canadian magazine Canoë 7 Jours gave a mixed review, saying "multimedia projections and other decorations go to oblivion" and criticized the amplification of the basses.{{Cite news |title=Mylène Farmer au Stade de France en DVD |author=Isabelle Hontebeyrie |work=Canoë 7 Jours |date=3 May 2010 |language=fr }} Les Années Laser said the Blu-ray is "quite live up to expectation".{{cite web |title=Mylène Farmer - Stade de France |url=http://mylene.net/presse/presse2010/mylene-farmer_presse_les-annees-laser_mai-2010_001.jpg |work=LesAnnées Laser |language=fr |date=May 2010 |access-date=8 May 2010}} Canadian newspaper La Presse described the DVD, as "so special and so successful", notably thanks to the "extraordinary and true communion between the crowd and the artist, captured by the cameras".{{cite web |title=Mylène Farmer au Stade de France : Des enchantés |url=http://mylene.net/presse/presse2010/mylene-farmer_presse_la-presse-canada_15-05-2010_002.jpg |work=La Presse |author=Marie-Christine Blais |date=15 May 2010 |publisher=Mylene.net |language=fr |access-date=18 May 2010}} What Hi-Fi ? Son & Home Cinéma gave a mixed review: it reproaches the lack of surprise (choreographies, stage set, choice of songs...), but said that the "show is great".{{cite web |title=Mylène Farmer, Stade de France |url=http://mylene.net/presse/presse2010/mylene-farmer_presse_what-hi-fi_mai-2010_001.jpg |work=What Hi-Fi ?

The DVD went straight to number one on the chart, selling 98,177 units in the first week,{{cite web |title=Disques : les Prêtres détrônent Maé, Farmer n°1 des DVD |url=http://www.ozap.com/actu/ventes-disques-france-pretres-christophe-mylene/336946 |publisher=Ozap |author=Charles Décant |date=23 April 2010 |language=fr |access-date=8 May 2010}} reaching immediately diamond status.
