You know, I was so carried away with all that DRM chatter and all those SpiralFrog rumours at last week's MIDEM junket, I forgot to report on the winners of the 2007 NRJ Awards, the annual awards fest staged by the French radio station to coincide with the music business' Cannes outing. I can't help thinking they got less coverage than normal this year, though that may be because us Brits weren't really represented in the winners list, and we don't monitor the French press so well. Sorry. Anyway, here, then, are the winners...
