Unbeatable. Each year the JDD reveals the 50 favorite personalities of the French. A poll carried out by Ifop since 1988 … and in which the name of Jean-Jacques Goldman does not appear never far from first place. To believe that his absence from France only amplifies the love that his audience has for him. On Boxing Day, this Sunday, December 26, the weekly magazine unveils its ranking. And the singer sits there once again, just like Sophie Marceau, the favorite female personality of citizens.
He has dominated the standings for eleven years. However, Jean-Jacques Goldman left France for the United Kingdom, before taking refuge in Marseille, ending his singing career and dropping the Enfoirés troupe of which he was an emblematic face. Since then, the one who celebrated turning 70 on October 11, 2021 multiplies appearances on the French media scene sparingly. Frédéric Dabi, Director General of Ifop, found an explanation for his unchanged popularity, but also that of Sophie Marceau, at the top of the ranking since 2019. “Their first places follow the same logic: their old relationship with the French made them icons “, said Frédéric Dabi.

Pesquet, it is our best anti-decline weapon.“Soprano, Francis Cabrel and Florent Pagny respectively inherited the fourth, fifth and sixth places on the charts.
