were brought together for the first time, as a bonus, to co-host the Victoires de la Musique 2024, and their collaboration seems to have won them both over. At the end of the show, the successful France Télévisions host did not hesitate to hug and kiss his colleague, showering her with praise and thanksdelighted to have been able to collaborate with her on the animation of this 39th ceremony: “Thank you Léa, it was an absolute blast having this evening with you!”
This new ceremony was marked by the consecration of the singer-songwriter Zaho de Sagazan. A new rising star on the French music scene, little known until a few women ago, the 23-year-old young woman has been a hit for several months with her album The symphony of lightning. This evening was its consecration, since the daughter of the painter and sculptor Olivier de Sagazan received 4 Music Victories : “Female revelation”, “Scene revelation”, “Original song” and “Album” of the year. In the rest of the list, Aya Nakamura is the “female artist” of the year against Véronique Sanson, Jain and Louane, while Vianney and Gazo shared the Victory for “male artist” of the year, for the second time in the history of the Victories. They were in competition with Étienne Daho and Pierre de Maere.
Audience drop for the ceremony, 6 points less for women
On the “male revelation” side, it’s the rapper Yamê who won against Nuit incolore and Aime Simone. The “concert” of the year is that of Damso, which wins against those of Bigflo and Oli, Pomme and Shaka Ponk. The “audiovisual creation” of the year is signed Shay, who is the only one to have managed to steal a Victoire de la Musique from Zaho de Sagazan, who was also nominated in this category, alongside Juliette Armanet. Finally, a Victory of Honor was awarded to singer Bernard Lavilliers. This 39th ceremony was somewhat disappointing in terms of audience, attracting only 2.17 million viewers (14.9%), compared to 2.35 million (15.6%) last year. Above all, the ceremony loses more than six points on the target of women responsible for purchases under the age of fifty, going from 16.3% last year to just 10.3%.
