Among the big favorites for the Victoires de la Musique this year are Orelsan and Clara Luciani, nominated in four categories each: artist (male and female), album, song and audiovisual creation. These two leading artists are closely followed by Juliette Armanet and Feu! Chatterton cited respectively in three categories.
But Orelsan appears as the essential of the hinge at the end of 2021/beginning of 2022, surfing on a public and critical success. Civilization, released in November is the best-selling album in France in 2021 (more than 335,000 copies), according to the classification of the National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (Snep). Will he do better than in 2018, when he won three Victories during the same ceremony? In any case, the artist makes the titles of his previous albums lie Lost in advance (2009) and The party is over (2017), reaching a wide audience, well beyond the rap circle.
