From stage performances to backstage, red carpet moments to reactions in the dressing room: the 26ᵉ edition of the NRJ Music Awards (31 October 2025) has been filling up with views on social networks. Between emotions, looks and viral sequences, here are the videos that got the most views. These are the figures gathered from the NRJ, TF1 and TF1+ accounts on 1 November at 11.26am.

The power of Katseye :

It’s simple, no content about Katseye, no matter how innocuous, hasn’t been viewed. The group has a huge worldwide following and this was their first official ceremony.

4 million views on TikTok for the “What’s Going On / Beez in the Trap” trend (2M on Instagram)

Key facts:

  • Mixing formats: the winning trio is official extract + backstage + red carpet.
    → Official performances provide the reach, backstage the emotion and the red carpet the ‘glamorous’ moment.
  • Overpublish without complexes: on an event like this, not everything can work and that’s normal.
    → A lot of content will get few views, but those that explode will more than make up for it. The key is volume and responsiveness: publish and test several formats, sounds and angles. The algorithm will sort it out for you.
  • Thinking in ecosystems: TF1 has activated its Danse avec les stars and The Voice accounts to promote “cross-brand” talent.
    → A multi-account strategy that multiplies contact points and strengthens group coherence.
  • Rely on a pool of partner content creators: profiles like Leslie Benaroch bring a different tone, outlook and angles.
    → They make it possible to capture other audiences with an authenticity that official accounts don’t always have, while ensuring wider, faster and more varied coverage of the highlights of the event.
  • Be everywhere: multiply the angles and points of capture, even informal ones.
    → A video in “hidden camera” mode, a shot stolen from the dressing room or a reaction captured on the spot can become the most powerful moments, the ones that the official cameras don’t show, but that the networks love.
