Her single "Je t'oublierai, je t'oublierai" reached No. 33 on the French charts in 1999. Her career continued to flourish with performances alongside notable artists like Serge Lama and Francis Cabrel.
Her 2000 album "Parle-moi" became her best-selling work in France. Boulay's influence and contributions to music were recognized in 2008 when she received the medal of the National Assembly of Quebec. She is celebrated as one of the grandes voix québécoises, alongside other prominent Quebecois artists.
