Friday night saw the big annual showcase for French music held at the Zénith in Paris and screened around the country.
This year's big winner was Jain, who picked up two awards, best female artist and best video for Makeba.
Her live performance of the song Makeba was perhaps the highlight of the show.
Jain had been nominated in the breakthrough album category last year, but lost out to Louane's Chamber 12 collection. It might not be the same kind of award collection that Christine and the Queens picked up over the past couple of years, but it will certainly do her a lot of good as she aims to conquer the English speaking market in 2017.
Elsewhere, I was delighted to see the return of Renaud rewarded with a best male artist award, but particularly pleased to see Radio Elvis win the breakthrough album category for Les Conquêtes.
Elsewhere, best rock album award went to Louise Attaque, the best electronic or dance album went to Kungs.
Vianney's Je m'en vais was the best original song of the year, Benjamin Biolay picked up the best chanson album for Palermo Hollywood. Best breakthrough act was LEJ.
