Quebec singer Charlotte Cardin was crowned female artist of the year at the 41st Victoires de la Musique on Friday evening, an award which symbolizes her dazzling success with the French public since her hit “Feel Good”.
Paris, February 14, 2026 – Charlotte Cardin’s ascent in the French music scene reached a new peak Friday night, as the Quebec singer-songwriter snagged the coveted female artist of the year title at the 41st Victoires de la Musique awards. This win isn’t just a trophy; it’s a testament to the widespread appeal of her hit song, “Feel Good,” which dominated French radio waves throughout 2025.
Cardin’s Parisian Welcome
“For a Quebecer who has just recently moved to Paris, I couldn’t dream of a better welcome from the French,” Cardin, 31, declared upon receiving the evening’s first award. Her blend of English and French lyrics clearly resonated with audiences, propelling “Feel Good” to the top of the charts.
Disiz Claims Male Artist of the Year
The male artist of the year honor went to rapper and singer Disiz, marking a significant comeback for the artist in 2025. His new album, coupled with the popular duet “melodrama” featuring Theodora, solidified his place in the contemporary music landscape.
“If I am here today it is because I did therapy: it allowed me to try to live with the harm that was done to me and the harm that I have done,” the 47-year-old artist shared, describing the award as “a symbol, one more milestone which shatters the preconceptions of success.”
Theodora’s “Mega BBL” Takes Album of the Year
Singer Theodora, widely considered a frontrunner, secured the Victory for Album of the Year on Friday for her critically acclaimed “Mega BBL.” The album, characterized by its diverse influences and collaborative spirit, quickly catapulted Theodora into the spotlight.
“I would especially like to thank all the projects that came before me and that allowed my project to be better understood,” the 22-year-old star stated, acknowledging the influence of artists like Aya Nakamura and rapper Tiakola. She also received an earlier Victory for the music video of “Fashion Designa,” which has garnered an impressive 14 million views on YouTube.
