Music – Orelsan and Clara Luciani, each in four categories, dominated the nominations for the 37th Victoires de la Musique, which was revealed on Monday, January 10 during a press conference.

The two artists are applying for the Artist Awards (male and female), Album, Song and Audiovisual Creativity, which will be awarded during a ceremony on February 11 organized by the Seine Music Show in Paris and broadcast on France 2 and France Inter. Like last year, Laury Tilleman will take charge of this evening, accompanied by host Olivier Mine.

Orelsan, 39, is a late 2021/early 2022 artist, surfing both public and critical success. “Civilization”, released in November (on the same day as Adele Breton’s blockbuster movie “30), is France’s best-selling album of 2021 (over 335,000 copies), according to the rating by the National Association of Audio Publishing (SNEP).

With “Heart,” released in June 2021, 29-year-old Clara Luciani signed a perfect second album to celebrate the breakouts that were forming in the summer of 2021 (11th place in sales in 2021 with over 155,000 copies). Without forgetting some strong feminist messages, as usual with the author of “La Grenade”, which struck from his previous compositions.

In this 2022 edition, two new categories have appeared: the most streamed album category by one artist and one artist. These are the rappers SCH and Aya Nakamura who will open these awards.
