Four categories, no less. Stromae is the champion of nominations with 38 es Victoires de la Musique, unveiled Monday January 9, a month before the competition, which will be held on February 10 and will be broadcast on France 2 and France Inter.

A few years ago, in the wake of an exhausting world tour, depression had hindered the singer’s rise. At 37, he resumed his flight. In January 2022, to launch the successor of his album Racine Carrée (2013), he created the event by interpreting the TF1 Journal of TF1, shock title on depression and suicidal thoughts that can accompany him .

“So much the better if it allows some people to want to treat themselves, to put words on things that were not identified until then,” he said to the France-Presse agency in March. He is now starting his concerts with undefeated, hymn to life after his vacuum.
He got out of the game on the French market, finishing third of the best album sales in 2022 behind Orelsan and Ninho. For the victories, Stromae is ahead of Orelsan (three nominations) and another Belgian, Angèle (three nominations also). We will hear about Belgium on February 10, since Pierre de Maere, another artist in this country, advances with two nominations, while Mentissa, also Belgian, is cited once.
Two nominations come back to the trio formed by Ben Mazué, Grand Corps Malade and Gaël Faye for their Ephémère project. Often competitors in victories, the three artists are real friends in life. They locked themselves in the south of France for a few days to write and sing. From this parenthesis was born this album, which contains a song with comic accents devoted to Benjamin Biolay, absent from appointments this year.
In 2022, the music victories had been crushed by Orelsan and Clara Luciani. The rapper had signed a hat -trick in the male artist categories, song (the smell of essence) and audiovisual creation for his documentary never shows that to anyone. The singer had made a double with the trophy of female artist and the prize of the album (heart).
