The 23rd edition of NRJ Music Awards, it’s this Saturday! And after a year 2020 marked by an evening without an audience, the ceremony returns to the Palais des Festivals Cannes for an evening that promises to be full of surprises. Favorites ct Franais, Louane and Grand Corps Malade will punctuate the evening, just like Soprano, Tayc, Clara Luciani, Angle, Juliette Armanet, Amir but also four renowned international stars : the groups Coldplay and Imagine Dragons as well as Ed Sheeran and especially Adele, who chose the NRJ Music Awards for his only performance in Europe. On the side of the names, Justin bieber is favorite but many stars like The Weeknd, Olivia Rodrigo, Hoshi, Kendji Girac, Gims, Hatik, David Guetta Where Amel Bent will try to make the difference and win the trophies. One year after the coronation of Vitaa and Slimane, Aya Nakamura or Dadju, who will be the big winners of the NRJ Music Awards 2021? Pure Charts offers you its predictions.

The list of our predictions for NRJ Music Awards 2021

Francophone Female Artist of the Year
Amel Bent

Clara Luciani
Eva
Hoshi
Juliette Armanet
Louane
Wejdene
Yseult

Why ? Amel Bent is at the heart of a true artistic renaissance with his new album “Vivante”, brought this year by the huge hit “1,2,3” feat. Hatik, which has been looped on TV and radio. Crowned Best French Artist at the MTV EMA thanks to the votes of her fans, she therefore has every chance of becoming the Francophone Female Artist of the Year at the NMA 2021. Even if Clara Luciani could create a surprise …

Francophone Male Artist of the Year
Dadju
Gims
Grand Corps Malade
Hatik
Jrmy frrot
Keen’V
Kendji Girac
Soprano
Tayc
Vianney

Why ? Soprano, he is the favorite artist of children, but he also touches all other generations. At the heart of the news with the album “Star hunter”, the rapper, who was entitled to a premium event on TF1 and a broadcast of his clip “Crazy” on the chain, should break the pawn his comrades in this category even if he faces other popular artists like Kendji, Vianney, Gims or Dadju.

Francophone Revelation of the Year
Angelcy
Cphaz
Herv
La Zarra
Naps
Were Vana

Why ? Logic would like Naps to win the NRJ Music Award for Francophone Revelation of the Year after having exploded on “Bande organized” last year, then made France dance all summer with his hit. “The kiffance”. Corn live by a rape investigation, the Marseille rapper is out of the race. And we can clearly see the earthy La Zarra, which hits the radio with “You will go” and which will release its first album on December 3, to impose itself with force.

Francophone Group / Duo of the Year
13’Organis
Indochina
Polo & Pan
Taxi Therapy
Vitaa & Slimane

Why ? Yes, they already won the trophy last year but Vitaa and Slimane have once again carried everything in their path this year with their tube machine “VersuS”, which passed the milestone of 800,000 sales, and finally allowed the most popular duo in France to launch their big tour through the Accor Arena in Paris. They would win their fifth NRJ Music Awards!

International Revelation of the Year
Bad bunny
Duncan Laurence
Faouzia
Justin wellington
Olivia rodrigo
The Kid Laroi

Why ? If Olivia Rodrigo has undeniably marked the year with her hits “Good 4 U” and “Drivers License”, these have mostly worked in the first half of 2021, the artist so much since more discreet. The Kid LAROI is in the middle of the game with “Stay” in duet with Justin bieber which continues to hit the mark and break records. The Award should therefore logically be awarded to him, to crown the explosion of the 18-year-old Australian rapper.

Francophone Collaboration of the Year
Amel Bent & Hatik “1,2,3”
Dadju & Anitta “My Sun”
Gims & Dhurata Dora “Only You”
Grand Corps Malade & Louane “Behind The Fog”
Kendji & Soolking “Bebeto”
M Pokora & Dadju “Si On Disait”
Sia & Amir “1 + 1”

Why ? Grand Corps Malade left empty-handed last year with “Mais je t’aime”. This year could therefore be the good one for the slammer who signed a new success thanks to “Derrire le brouillard”, a duet with Louane broadcast in a loop on the airwaves of NRJ. Enough to offer the tandem a nice reward although Amel Bent and Hatik could also make the difference with “1,2,3” …

International Collaboration of the Year
Black Eyed Peas & Shakira “Girl Like Me”
Coldplay & BTS “My Universe”
DJ Snake & Selena Gomez “Selfish Love”
Elton John & Dua Lipa “Cold Heart” (PNAU Remix)
The Kid Laroi & Justin bieber “Stay”
The Weeknd & Ariana Grande “Save Your Tears”

Why ? When two of the world’s most popular bands collaborate, the result is bound to be stratospheric. Coldplay and BTS make sparks with “My Universe” and the Award should logically go to them, given the enormous popularity of the South Korean band and especially its loyal fanbase which could lead them to victory.

International Female Artist of the Year
Ava max
Billie Eilish
Camila Cabello
Doja Cat
Dua Lipa
Sia
Shakira

Why ? Winning DJ last year, Dua Lipa shone again on the pop plant this year with the release of her album “Future Nostalgia” and the hits “Love Again” or “Cold Heart” with Elton john. But beware Doja Cat, who could well be the 2021 champion following the huge success of her hits “Kiss Me More” and “Woman” …

International Male Artist of the Year
Ed sheeran
Justin bieber
Lil Nas X
Shawn mendes
The Weeknd
Tom gregory

Why ? Yes Ed sheeran made the trip to the NRJ Music Awards 2021, there is no doubt that a prize will be awarded to him and that of the International Male Artist seems to be appropriate. It must be said that the superstar has signed a return to the top with his new album “Equals”, accompanied by the singles “Bad Habits” and “Shivers”. The Briton should be the mouth of his opponents including Canadian artists The Weeknd and Justin bieber.

International Group / Duo of the Year
Coldplay
imagine Dragons
Mneskin
Maroon 5
Silk Sonic

Why ? Yes Coldplay and Imagine Dragons are invited to the party, the reward should logically go to Maneskin. Because the Italian group has carried everything in its path in recent months. The Eurovision winners have brought rock back to life with a glam aesthetic and electric hits like “I Wanna Be Your Slave” or “Beggin ‘”. 12 points!

Francophone Song of the Year
Amel Bent & Hatik “1,2,3”
Clara Luciani – “Breathe again”
Dadju – “My sun”
Grand Corps Malade & Louane “Behind The Fog”
Jrmy Frerot – “A man”
Kendji Girac – “Obviously”
Louane – “To love death”
Soprano – “Crazy”
Tayc – “The weather”
Vitaa & Slimane – “XY”

Why ? His festive song sounded the hour of confinement. A real breath of fresh air in French pop, Clara Luciani has punctuated the summer with her “Heart” and invites us to party with “Breathe again”. Especially since the singer should unveil a sparkling and disco staging to bring her title to life on the NMA stage: We have to move, we have to tremble … .

International Song of the Year
“Bad Habits” Ed sheeran
“Follow You” Imagine Dragons
“Peaches” Justin bieber ft. Daniel Caesar, Giveon
“Good 4U” Olivia Rodrigo
“Love Tonight” Shouse
“Stay” The Kid Laroi & Justin bieber
“Save Your Tears” The Weeknd

Why ? It’s THE hit of the moment. With “Stay”, The Kid Laroi and Justin bieber make the whole Earth dance and it’s not over. Always number 3 on the radio and breaking records on Spotify, the song should logically win the prize against the other solid gold hits of Olivia Rodrigo, Ed sheeran or The Weeknd.

Clip of the Year
“Selfish Love” DJ Snake & Selena Gomez
“Bad Habits” Ed sheeran
“Behind The Fog” Grand Corps Malade & Louane
“Waf” Julien Dor
“Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” Lil Nas X
“Near to the canvases” Soprano
“Le Temps” Tayc
“Stay” The Kid Laroi & Justin bieber
“Save Your Tears” The Weeknd
“Gold” Vitaa & Slimane

Why ? Nine clips and as many different styles that are difficult to separate. If Lil Nas X has created the event and the controversy with “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)”, we rather see the trophy delivered Vitaa and Slimane. Their time travel with “Gold” seduced their many loyal fans who could therefore offer them another victory, a year after having won the same award for “a will”.

DJ of the Year
David Guetta
DJ Snake
Kungs
Martin Garrix
Ofenbach
Robin schulz

Why ? Sacr best dj in the world, and author of many hits like “Bed”, the remix of “Love Tonight”, “Let’s Love” or “Heartbreak Anthem”, David Guetta has permanently marked the year 2021. And he should logically end it with this trophy of the NRJ Music Awards, which would be the fourth of his career. But competition from Kungs, who signed one of the summer hits with “Never Going Home”, or even DJ Snake who could win his fourth prize in a row in the category, could be formidable.
