New historic record in Don't forget the lyrics this Saturday January 18, 2025! Benoît, in possession of the silver microphone since December 2, has become the greatest Maestro of the musical show presented by Nagui on France 2. He has overtaken Margaux in the ranking.
Simply incredible! For almost five years now, she has sat in the firmament of the greatest Maestros of Don't forget the lyrics. The unbeatable Margaux, 59 victories and 530,000 euros in winnings, was relegated to second place this Saturday, January 18. After a week of receiving messages from former champions of the evening game of France 2, and almost unbearable suspense, the charming and talented Benoît thus becomes the greatest champion of the show hosted by Nagui.
Benoît becomes first in the ranking of the greatest Maestros of Don't forget the lyrics
Explosion of joy on the set Don't forget the lyricswhile Benoît pockets an additional 20,000 euros in his kitty, and a counter which now stands at 79 victories for 538,000 euros in winnings. “I thought it was impossible.”exulted the 31-year-old Angevin, as the victory bell rang. Her predecessor Margaux had remained at the top for almost five years, after her elimination from Don't forget the lyrics on February 3, 2020. While he will continue to raise the record during his next appearances on the show, Benoît could well remain the greatest Maestros for even longer.
-Benoît (Don't forget the lyrics), the Maestro of all records
The third time was good. After failing when presenting his first application to Don't forget the lyrics in 2011, then only 18 years old, Benoît participated a second time in the program in spring 2023, unfortunately beaten by Maestro Charlotte. But since his return to Nagui's show on December 2, 2024, all success has favored the 31-year-old young man. Already on January 10, he captured the participation record held by Louis by achieving a 66th victory. All he was missing was the winnings record. After dethroning Laurens – big winner of the 2024 edition of the Masters of Don't forget the lyrics – and his prize pool of 457,000 euros, he only had Queen Margaux left in his sights. It is now done. Next step for Benoît: hold on, as long as possible, and increase his winnings to the highest level to make them even more difficult to beat. And why not win the next Masters, which will be held next fall?
