The Victoires de la Musique are back! Next Friday, February 14, music lovers will meet on France 2 and France Inter to discover the 40th edition of the famous ceremony, which will be hosted by Léa Salamé and Cyril Féraud. One year after the tears of Bernard Lavilliers for his Victory of Honor and the triumph of Zaho de Sagazanleft with four trophies, which artists will be celebrated live from the Seine Musicale? During a press conference, which took place a few moments ago, the list of nominations was revealed. It is the result of the votes of the 882 members of the Académie des Victoires, who had to establish a top 3 in order of preference for each category, leading to 10 preselected. They were then submitted to a vote by a jury of 32 people from the music sector.

Santa is the big favorite!
First surprise: the honorary president of the Victoires de la Musique will be none other than Alain Souchon! A year after Zazie, it is he who will open the evening with a speech while he will perform live, perhaps with his sons, he who is embarked on a major tour with Ours & Pierre Souchon. So, who comes out on top in the nominations? Her name is Santa! Indeed, the singer received four citations in total as Female Artist, Album, Original Song with “Recommence-moi”, and Concert. A real revenge since she made a rant last year by not appearing anywhere. Behind her, Justice, Alyocha Schneider, Solann and Clara Luciani collected three each.
Obviously, Pierre Garnier has not been forgotten! Big winner of the “Star Academy”, the young artist can have a smile since he is favorite in two categories: that of Male Revelation and Original Song with “Ceux qu’on été”. As for Révélations femmes, Solann, Styleto and Yoa will be in competition, and the winner will be supported by the new Victoires de la Musique partner, Spotify, via the EQUALS program. Note that a Victory of Honor will be awarded to Eddy Mitchell, who has just published his new album “Amigos” even though he had announced that he would no longer go on tour, before changing his mind.
