Gims not only marked the summer of 2025: he dominated him. Clubs at festivals, radio lists, the stirrups of their songs have become everywhere, until the waves and musical classifications saturate.
Transmission of records and shovel certifications, more than 18 million monthly listeners in Spotify and eight titles in the top 30 of the most listened to France (according to the SNEP), the figures speak for themselves.
Invited this Sunday, August 14 at the Fête de L’Manité after acting at the festival throughout the summer, the 39 -year -old artist will raise the end point to a triumphant summer season before going on tour.
A return to grace in 2024
From its beginning alone, Gims has been established as a tube machine. Shot, beautiful, Saved as never before: So many choirs have become classics of French urban pop. In almost fifteen years of career, he also won two musical victories and marked the story by becoming, in 2019, the first rapper to fill the Stade of France.
Despite these peaks, Gims experienced an empty passage. After the tide of your album Black belt (2018), sold in more than one million copies and carried by its duo with Vianney in The sameThe artist tries a faster turn with The scourge In 2020, he continued with Mozart’s latest wishes In 2022. Two projects welcome on a part of the public, but with much more discreet success: around 200,000 sales for the first and 100,000 for the second, far from the pharaonic scores that Gims had accustomed to the industry.
The year 2023 is also marked by a controversy for Gims. Far from music, the singer ventured into slippery. In an interview with a YouTube channel, he explains that the pyramids of Egypt were actually antennas. “Historians know it,” he said. He made fun and criticized, Gims says he is “shocked” that the controversy “takes so much magnitude.” He draws a piece of surf on the controversy, titled Hernan Cortès.
But as of May 2024, Gims took care of the lists with Spider. Subtle mixture of Afro Sounds and Reggaeton, transported by a intoxicating trick and a calibrated production for clubs, the title, in duo with the artist of Belgo-Moroccan Disint, explodes as soon as it is launched. Result: It occupies the number 1 position in France for 7 consecutive weeks and stands out as one of the hymns last summer, transmitted in a loop in the afternoon as in Tiktok.
With this return in grace, Gims does not stop there and reveals his album The North remembers In which we find the song Be shy But especially the tube Darling. Viral on social networks, the title is put on the first place in the top 10 of the best Singles sales for months and to date more than 72 million listening on YouTube.
A beginning of the year at the top
Then comes 2025 where success is not weakened. Sacred male artist of the year in the victory of music, has an almost melancholic speech. “I think it’s my last tour,” the last round said on his tour. “I had great successes (but also) of the socks, we have not always been as strong as now,” he adds behind the BFMTV microphone.
Strong, Gims is certainly. The reissue of your EP The North remembersentitled Odyssey In which we find new tubes, shake the graphics.
Among them, NinaoThe piece with intoxicating chorus that shows a classical georgian people, was driven to the top of the most listened world, ahead of artists such as Rihanna or Ariana Grande. The clip has seen more than 154 million times on YouTube.
Success proof, The North remembers He also won the best albums in France for 13 consecutive weeks, a record until then owned by Johnny Hallyday with his posthumous album My country is love who had remained at the top of the ranking for twelve weeks.
But Gims is not satisfied with his successes alone. In the process, multiply prestigious collaborations: Piano With Werenoi, White Air Force With Jul, You make me stupid With Damso or Parisian With hand 1.9, currently number one of the best SNP singles.
In July, a duo with Lara Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter, is announced, exciting the controversy. Gims denies the information and the title remains in the boxes.
These different songs complete an already busy repertoire, which the artist will be able to defend on stage this Sunday, August 14 at the scene of the Fête de L’Manité, before going to a tour in the United States and Canada in October, then travel to France until the end of the year, and to finish four appointments in the Paris the Decrense Arena in December. December 19, 20, 21 and 22, 2025. For the last tour, really?
