He had “only” nine until February 10, 2023. The day after the 38th edition of the Victoires de la Musique, OrelSan took a huge leap forward by approaching the record. Named in several categories, the rapper from Caen managed to win three trophies. That of the best concert, original song and audiovisual creation. This allowed him to increase his number of “statuettes” to 12 and, in fact, exceed monuments of French song such as Johnny Hallyday or Alain Souchon. The two having won 10 Victoires de la Musique each.
Now it is Alain Bashung and Matthieu Chedid that OrelSan will have to try to dislodge. The two each holding 13 Victoires de la Musique. Asked about his record which could possibly be beaten from next year, the son of Louis Chedid does not seem really worried.

Matthieu Chedid questioned about his “war” with OrelSan
“With Alain Bashung you are the artist who has accumulated the most Victoires de la Musique. 13 prizes at home, there is a certain Orelsan who also plays in Asterix who is now hot on your heels with 12 Victoires, you are afraid that he overtakes you?”asked our colleagues to RTL this Tuesday, April 18. “No, so it’s funny because I saw that the other time when Orelsan, it was said that he had passed Johnny”first replied Billie’s dad.
The one who has a special relationship with a minister of the Macron government continues: “It’s true that you have to be careful about that because obviously it’s always tricky… The best of what? Of who? It’s not a competition”. The 51-year-old artist assures him, they are not “not sportsmen”. “I don’t think we’re better than the other. Afterwards, it’s very touching to receive prizes, it upsets me, it’s super beautiful. But, already, it seems totally absurd to me to have won so many of price”, he adds to prove that there is no competition between him and OrelSan. The interpreter of “The Seine” even relativizes: “So much the better if he overtakes me. It doesn’t really matter to me. I’ve always been last in class and that suits me very well”. But nothing assures the rapper from Caen to “snatch” his counterpart’s record next year.
