The Flames ceremony has just published the 21 categories that will be rewarded.
The Flames are the new ceremony which aims to reward artists of popular culture, those who are regularly forgotten during the Victoires de la Musique. This event was also created in response to the absence of the biggest sellers in the record market, namely rappers as SCH rightly pointed out in 2022. Today, we know a little about this event which will be supported by Spotify. It will concern 21 categories “thoughts to honor as accurately as possible the vitality of musical currents which are renewed, grow, and give impetus to culture” as he writes on Twitter where the categories were announced.
