Two young artists in the firmament.
With, for each, four chances of winning a reward.
This Monday evening, the Victoires de la Musique unveiled their nominations for the 37th ceremony, which will take place on February 11 at the Seine Musicale, in Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine).
Behind Clara Luciani and Orelsan, the two heavyweights who stand out from the peloton, follow Juliette Armanet and the Feu group!
Chatterton, with three opportunities to brandish a statuette.
The Belgian Angèle will have to be satisfied with two.
Not exactly a huge surprise.
After taking first place in the ranking of best-selling albums of 2021, with a disc released late (mid-November), Orelsan is shaping up to be one of the favorites.
The 39-year-old rapper will apply in the categories "male artist of the year", "album", "original song" and "audiovisual creation".
The logical continuation of a perfect sequence for the Norman musician, hero in the fall of an event documentary series on Amazon Prime Video, the ideal launching pad for the surprise broadcast of the clip for his first single, "The Odor of the 'essence', a few days before the release of his album, 'Civilization' quickly crowned with rave reviews, accompanied by viral success on listening platforms.
Juliette Armanet and Feu!
Chatterton in good position
Clara Luciani also logically pulls out of the game, with the aptly named “Heart”, which has put disco glitter in our darkened dailies.
The singer, already crowned at the Victories in 2020, will be able to try to double the stake applying again in the queen category of female artist of the year.
As well as for the best album, the song (“Respire encore”) and the music video.
She will have in front of her another craftswoman of the return of the ephelaw pants: Juliette Armanet, and her recent hit "The Last Day of Disco", which gleans three chances to brandish a Victory (female artist, album, song).
Three chances also for the fiery rock poets of Feu!
Chatterton and their vibrant “New World”.
Ray revelations, we also find Barbara Pravi, The Empress and Silly Boy Blue.
But also Terrenoire, black dog and Myd.
Note: the return of the “best concert” category, canceled last year due to a health crisis.
Voters will have to decide between Hervé, Ben Mazué and Woodkid.

- The Victories (@LesVictoires) January 10, 2022
Among the others named, there is no trace of Grand Corps Malade, who is undoubtedly one of the great gentlemen of the year, with his album “Mesdames”. The slammer, number 2 in sales, had learned in December that his name would not appear on the list.
"It is particularly unfair, then confided to us its producer, Jean-Rachid Kallouche.
Fabien
(Marsaud, the real name of Grand Corps Malade)
did not have any nomination at the last NRJ Music Awards and he will not have any at the Victoires de la Musique, although it is one of the phenomena of the year!
In fifteen years, Fabien had only two Victories in 2007
(stage revelation and album revelation)
, and one last year with Camille Lellouche for the song of the year, thanks to the public vote.
Record companies don't like small independents like me and they charge me indirectly.

Other notable absentee: Jul.
The prolific rapper, spearhead of the Marseille scene, is once again shunned by the Victories, while in 2021 he has accumulated 550,000 sales of the eight recordings he released over the past three years.
Not to mention the collective album of which he is the initiator, "organized Classico", which is not far from 100,000 copies.
The evening of February 11 will be hosted by an original duo composed of Olivier Minne and Laury Thilleman.
Last year, it was Benjamin Biolay and Pomme who came out big winners at the previous Victoires de la Musique ceremony.
An evening which had also distinguished Hervé, Yseult or even Julien Doré.
