- Eight trophies will be awarded during the evening.
- “20 Minutes” predicts the victories of Philippe Katerine and Angèle in the categories of best male performer and best female performer.
Eight trophies and not one more. For the 35th edition of the Victoires de la Musique, which will take place this Friday at the Seine Musicale in Boulogne Billancourt (Hauts de Seine) and will be broadcast live on France 2 from 9:05 p.m., the number of categories has been revised downwards. Exit, among others, the best albums of "urban music" or "world music" ... From now on, all musical styles can and must fight to find a place in the race for the statuette in the shape of a capital "v". Who will triumph? 20 Minutes draws the plans on the comet and delivers its forecasts.
- Male artist
Are appointed:
Philippe Katerine
Lomepal
Alain Souchon
Our prognosis: Philippe Katerine. Alain Souchon already has nine Victoires de la musique on his chimney - including that of the male artist received in 1994. Does he need to glean a tenth of it so that his talent and his contribution to French song are validated? No. Voters and voters will no doubt prefer to unblock the counter of the other two nominees. In this perspective, we bet on Philippe Katerine whose lunar universe is more and more familiar and appreciated by the general public. It seems high time to crown it. So think: he will have received a César - that of the best actor in a supporting role for Le Grand Bain - before winning a Victory! On his album Confessions , released this fall, he invited Angèle, Chilly Gonzalez, Dominique A, Oxmo Puccino or… Lomepal. A syncretism capable of making a maximum of voices converge towards it, regardless of the musical horizon from which they come.
- Female artist
Are appointed:
Angèle
Clara Luciani
Catherine Ringer
Our prognosis: Angèle. The Belgian singer won last year the Victories of the revelation album for Brol and that of the audiovisual creation for the clip of Toutoubling . The months that followed, we saw and heard everywhere: between the singles, the tour and the reissue of Brol , 2019 was the year of Angèle. It would therefore not be surprising if she triumphed again at the Victories this year. And this despite the rating of love of voters for Catherine Ringer who was awarded in 2012 or for Clara Luciani who led her boat with undeniable success but with a lower sounding board.
- Album
Are appointed:
Alain Souchon's fifties souls
Confessions of Philippe Katerine
Jeannine de Lomepal
The wandering stars: expansion of Nekfeu
Panorama of Vincent Delerm
Our prognosis: “The wandering stars: expansion” by Nekfeu . The distinctions between variety, rock, "world", electronic and "urban" music now belong to the Victories' past. All musical genres compete together in the same category and we could see rap emerging as the winner of the battle this year. Lomepal therefore has its chances of winning with Jeannine , an opus on "the positive freedom that madness brings", as he described in 20 Minutes. But we would especially put a play on Nekfeu saying that the voters could have been seduced by the global project of the Wandering Stars , both film and album, completed, a few months later, by an "expansion" of 16 titles . Moreover, the album was the second best selling record in France last year, behind Brol d'Angèle.
- Original song
Are appointed:
Come on rest of Boulevard des Airs feat. Vianney
I'm fine, it's from Vitaa and Slimane
Naked by Clara Luciani
Almost Alain Souchon
Stone avec toi by Philippe Katerine
Our prognosis: "It's going to come" from Vitaa and Slimane. In this category, the public votes. Considering the reception it has given to Versus , the joint project of the two artists recently certified triple platinum - 300,000 sales -, their tube C'est va ça has a good chance of establishing itself. The title was broadcast on radio and Vitaa and Slimane appeared on television far more often than their opponents. The clip, posted online in August, has surpassed 30 million views on YouTube.
- Concert
Are appointed:
Both Sides by Jeanne Added
Brol Tour d'Angèle
Le grand petit Concert de - M -
Our forecast: "Brol Tour". Again, the public has a say. Jeanne Added may have been crowned best female performer at the 2019 Victories, but she remains more confidential than her two opponents in this category. - M - has certainly delivered crazy shows on tour, but the dynamics seem more focused on Angèle who called on her fan base to mobilize.
Named for 3 music victories ✨

Audiovisual creation:
Are appointed:
PNL's Au DD clip
The clip of Balance ton quoi by Angèle
The Live Les Vieilles Canailles
Our forecast: The clip of "Balance ton quoi". The games are relatively open in this category. PNL created the event last March with the Au DD clip announcing their new album. A return to the media radars expertly orchestrated after having stirred up the wait and played with the nerves of the fans. Result: less than an hour after it was posted, the video had been viewed 500,000 times. Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Mitchell and Jacques Dutronc, alias “Vieilles Canailles”, had also made the event three years ago by sharing the same scene during a tour. Le Live , a recording of their show of June 24, 2017 at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, released on DVD last November, is already part of the history of French song. But it's undoubtedly Balance ton quoi and its clip that most marked Francophone popular culture last year. This hymn to women's rights, perfectly in tune with the times, has gone beyond the strict musical framework, becoming one of the essential songs of feminist processions. The clip directed by Charlotte Abramow with a licked aesthetic and not devoid of humor supports the message. The hearts of the public, who vote for this category, should swing in its direction
- Revelation Scene
Are appointed:
Hoshi
Aloïse Sauvage
Suzane
Our prognosis: Suzane. "This nomination is the big icing on the cake, it's a real recognition," she confided to 20 Minutes in January. The singer, whose first album, Toï Toï , was released a few weeks ago, did not spare her efforts last year. Suzane was the most scheduled artist at music festivals in 2019. It is therefore hardly logical that she should be named in this category and that this would materialize in a Victory would not be surprising.
- Revelation album
Are appointed:
The Apple Rifts
Maëlle de Maëlle
Temperaments of Malik Djoudi
Our prognosis: "The faults" of Apple . With her soft and powerful voice, she sings of her vulnerability. Pomme's second album, Les Failles , is a jewel of emotion. "My phobia is to have a big head, I could never say that my songs are good for people. I'm just trying to write songs without wondering what people are going to think about it, that's the basis of my process, and on this album, I made no concessions, I wrote for myself ", she explained to 20 Minutes last fall.
Culture
"Rap is the most authentic thing in music today", says Philippe Katerine

"When the album was released, I was rewarded by people and I understood that I had my place," says Angèle.
