A health situation which had also upset the Revelations of the Year category last year, which had become non-mixed (previously Revelation stage and Album revelation), but separated into “male” and “female”.
For the Victoires de la Musique 2022, the public once once more had the opportunity to vote in two categories: that of the Original Song and that of the Audiovisual Creation. Voting was open from January 10, 2022 at 8 p.m. to February 10, 2022 at 8 p.m., the day before the ceremony. It was possible to vote on the France Télévisions site, once a day, with an email address. For the other categories, the votes were entrusted to a college of voters, made up of 900 people, professionals in the music industry and members “outside the music industry”, recruited on a cover letter.
