The “Star Academy” makes its return, this Saturday, October 12, 2024. The opportunity for those who have long been associated with telecrochet to return to the forefront. Like this international music star, who is rumored to have become rich since the show’s creation! During an interview, this personality wanted to dot the “i”s and reestablish the truth…
While the twelfth season of the Star Academy is about to begin, this Saturday evening at 9:10 p.m., on TF1, the show is already generating a lot of ink, especially after the distribution of portraits of the 15 new students. This year again, it’s under the title tunes Love Genarationcomposed by Bob Sinclarthat these faces who will become famous will enter the castle. Guest on the show We’re doing TV againon RTL, the French DJ, father of two childrenwas asked about the income he received thanks to the program’s emblematic credits. And he didn’t mince his words!
“People think I’m a billionaire, and…”
“So, Bob Sinclar, happy with the return of the Star Academy ? It’s going to be the copyright jackpot again!”launched Éric Dussart from the outset. A question that somewhat annoyed the musician, who responded straightforwardly. “But stop saying that every time! You know this is an absolute scam! Because the title only plays a few seconds, that is to say it is split, it does not play in its entirety.” Indeed, contrary to popular belief, the few seconds of the credits broadcast during each program are not enough to bring in astronomical sums. Although repeated broadcasts of the song may give this impression, the resulting revenues are, according to him, well below expectations.
“It’s not free, but it’s really a small amount, then after 300 passes, it decreases… People imagine that I’m a billionaire every time we pass that,” he continued. Last year, the one who has just celebrated his 55th birthday had already confided in this subject. “It’s not the jackpot, nor the lotto. At the end, we have 20,000 euros each left. Every time it’s on TV, I’m told that I’m extremely rich… I’d love to.”he explained on the set of Figaro at night, on Figaro TV Île-de-France.
Bob Sinclar ready to do a featuring with a Star Academy candidate?
And at Star Academy did not make Bob Sinclar a billionaire, it did however boost his notoriety. Even today, the show continues to draw attention to his work, particularly on streaming platforms. “I’m very happy, it’s getting streaming back up and running!”he admits. However, despite this success, the DJ does not seem to want to get more involved in the show. When Éric Dussart asked him if he was considering doing a featuring with a Star Academy candidateBob Sinclar was quite clear: “No, you know, I’m just a DJ, I make studio music…”
An answer which risks disappointing many former students, like Helena or Pierre Garnier, the winner, who have just been nominated for the NRJ Music Awards ! Fortunately for them, the insistence of Éric Dussart, who highlighted the talents of the young stars, still gave hope for a possibility. “Why not do something in French“, Bob Sinclar finally agreed.
