Arsenal de Belles Mélodies is the second solo studio album by Congolese singer-songwriter Fally Ipupa, released on 25 June 2009 through Obouo Productions and Because Music. Produced by David Monsoh, the 16-track album blends Congolese rumba and ndombolo with hip-hop and contemporary R&B, and features guest appearances by American R&B singer Olivia Longott on "Chaise Électrique" and Guadeloupean reggae-dancehall artist Krys on "Sexy Dance". The album was developed over three years following the success of Ipupa's debut Droit Chemin and was supported by an extensive promotional campaign that included performances across Africa, Europe, and the United States. Commercially successful, Arsenal de Belles Mélodies sold 40,000 copies within its first week, achieved gold certification in less than a month, and went on to sell nearly 500,000 copies in France. It topped the Congolese music charts, reached number eight on RFI Musique's 2009 "Top World Music Albums" list, and remained in the iTunes Top 100 World Music Albums chart more than a decade after its release.
