Small novelty therefore compared to last year, the Concert category is back in the list, but will include the last two years, due to cancellations linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A health situation which had also upset last year the category Revelations of the year, which had become non-mixed (previously Revelation scene and Album revelation), but separated into “male” and “female”.
For the 2022 Victoires de la musique, the public will once once more be able to vote in two categories: that of the Original Song and that of Audiovisual Creation. Voting will be open from January 10, 2022 at 8 p.m. to February 10, 2022 at 8 p.m., the day before the ceremony. It is possible to vote on the France Télévisions website. For the other categories, the votes are entrusted to a college of voters, made up of 900 people, music professionals and members “outside the music industry”, recruited on the basis of a letter of motivation.
