Music is king this Friday, February 10, 2023… and Orelsan is its king, with a record broken on the stage of the ceremony. Tele-Leisure explains to you.
Variety, pop, rap… French music in all its variety is in the spotlight this Friday, February 10, 2023 on France 2. The channel broadcasts live from the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, the edition 2023 of the Victoires de la Musique. An edition presented solo by Laury Thilleman, a first for the one who had worked as a duo for the past two years, with Stéphane Bern then Olivier Minne. At his side during the ceremony, the honorary president of this edition: Calogero, who gave a big unexpected rant, and many artists such as Stromae, who offered a tender kiss and a beautiful declaration of love to his wife Coralie Barbier or even Serge Lama, who bade farewell to the public and announced “stop charges“Live. Orelsan, nominated in several categories, was also present.
Orelsan still crowned at the Victoires de la Musique 2023!
The artist had done well to make the trip… Sacred during the 2022 edition, this time he was nominated in the Original Song, Concert of the Year and Audiovisual Creation categories. Stéphane Espinosa, president of the Victoires de la Musique, had also explained the presence of the artist for two years in a row among the nominees: “The operating life of an album is really very long. (…) Side songs of the year, some like Orelsan continue to be at the top of sales for two years, hence their nomination“. And this year again, nomination rhymed with victory for Orelsan: at the start of the evening, the rapper also nominated for the MTV EMA 2022 won the Victory for Audiovisual Creation, then that for Original Song for his title. The quest. A reward that allows him to beat a record…

Why Orelsan is “stronger than Johnny“
This Victory of the original Song is indeed not insignificant for Orelsan. As Laury Thilleman recalled when the latter went on stage to collect his prize: “Orelsan goes down in history since he now has 11 wins, thus overtaking the Taulier Johnny Hallyday and Alain Souchon“. A not insignificant figure therefore, even if Orelsan did not mention it in his thanks, even admitting: “I was convinced that I was not going to win, it’s crazy“. A surprise repeated shortly after, since the rapper then won the Victory for Concert of the Year. And 12! Only Alain Bashung and Matthieu Chedid are now ahead of him, with 13 Victories to their name.
