It's that time of year again where TiBB can bestow a wonderful variety bag of prizes to their beloved and abhorred musicians of the past twelve months. The TiBB Music Awards have run since 2007 and have seen awards given to the likes of Take That, Mutya Buena and Lana del Rey. And some people you've heard of, too!

Below is the list of this year's nominees, as voted for by you.

..can I PM mine so that no one (except you) will see my lack of current music knowledge..?...I probably won't do every category...

of course :p I think you did the same last year didn't you?

[Shaun]

although I guess I might make it "group" as in anything that's not really a band (eg. electro groups, DJ duos, pop bands, and so on)

[Shaun]

have Coldplay done anything since last October? :/

just realised they did that Hunger Games song, d'oh.

[Marc]

Groups and Bands can be confusing.

I'll test you tomorrow :idc:

I think all of those you've put for group are bands, James, group is more a pop group that doesn't write their own stuff (I know it's confusing tbh)

Ooooooh k I'll edit a bit.

[Shaun]

it's fine, I'll allow it (bruv)

Basically:

A band = a group of people playing instruments live
A group = some twats with a keyboard and a macbook / One Direction/Little Mix-style pop*****s / a hip hop duo (see: macklemore & ryan lewis) / anything else

i know it's not really fair to compare, say, Disclosure and the Saturdays, but oh well, it makes the 'Group' category a little more hard-fought

[Shaun]

wow, wasn't expecting so many votes so soon. Thanks guys :blush2: there's no hurry though

[Ammi]

..I’m struggling a bit here, I’ve only listened to one complete 2012/13 album and you probably know which one that is..I’ve probably got time to listen to one, maybe two more but I don’t know which ones to listen to and I usually have to hear stuff more than once to get a proper feel for it..I was thinking maybe Naughty Boy..?..but only because I love La La La...that might be the one decent song there is for all I know...also the individual artists I'm thinking of atm are just based on a few released singles I’ve heard..like Kanye, as best International artist, I do know some of his stuff but it’s also really just because of his performance on Jools Holland which I thought was terrific...help, I don’t know what to listen to, who to listen to Shaun....(there's no point in asking my guys because if it isn't heavy and it isn't metal then it just isn't music....)....

[Black Dagger]

I'm struggling a bit as I'm useless for remembering music I've liked this year. I know I want to feature The Naked and Famous.. after that I'm like... -looks at 2013 reviews-

[Shaun]

have TNAF released their album yet?

If anyone's struggling to remember music from this year... I'll try and find some links with major releases and events and so on... it might be worth just googling "best music videos of 2013" or things to that effect, if you're stuck on ideas.

Albums:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_released_and_scheduled_for_release_ in_2013

Singles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_in_British_music_charts

(again, these aren't extensive, as I'm sure there are a few names that aren't 'big' that haven't been included)

Lists like the Mercury Prize (and its Canadian/American equivalents) might be good for new stuff.

But yeah, I've given this a month because I want people to share music they like and love, for ideas more than anything...

I'll edit in links to songs to my vote when I can.

[Shaun]

k i've finished my nominations :love: this was difficult (well, the international ones were)

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, they released it a couple of weeks ago, not sure if they have in the UK lolol.

[Shaun]

k i've added URLs to youtube videos of all my songs as well because yolo

[MeMyselfAndI]

I'm editing in my votes & I never knew they were british until I saw Marc's post so I put them in it as I had spaces Idg why you're not counting my votes, a bit weird.

[Shaun]

all of you go and make hasty and last-minute votes in the music awards please, we can't have coldplay winning best band again

don't play dumb, I know it comes easy, but please. this is insultingly obvious.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Erm I want to vote for Coldplay, don't go fixing yet another of your music games, It's like a 95% fix rate.

[Shaun]

I'm really not in the mood, it's not counting, simple as. Stop trying to piss people off and get a hobby.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I like Coldplay, I have said so ,many times on the forum and your post actualy reminded me that I hadn't voted them & I found out they were british, I never knew they were british. You're clearly just cheating on your own game, why else would you post in threads to advertise people to vote and say that you can't be having ____ win, Despite saying you;d closed the votes & assumed no one else would vote. You're manipulating your own game for your own result.

I have no ulterior motive, I do like Coldplay. But whatev's your banned from the XF +2 -2 game then if your gunna be childish I will too http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3531/jiw.gif

The closest competitor was Ellie Goulding on 21%. Foxes and Katy B did reasonably well, securing 14% each. Jessie J just got the 7% because she's ****.

In a world... where pop groups dominated the TiBB Music Award for Best Group... one man... and a drastic change to the music industry... brought about the surge of indie pop *cuts the movie trailer voiceover*.

CHVRCHES!
CHVRCHES marginally beat Rudimental (who, er, aren't feeling the love?) to the accolade by 7%. Disclosure were third with 14%, and AlunaGeorge picked up just the one vote. Girls Aloud didn't even get one, which raises the question: WHY DID WE BOTHER?

OK. Not all of us have the time to listen to every album like Shaun tries to. So let's give an award to a British song.

The above was a quote from Matt Cardle, who sadly failed to make it this year. These eight DIAMONDS did, though.

http://imageshack.us/a/img850/2286/y26w.png

All very lovely songs, but there can only be one winner. That song, 28% of you decided, is...

Naughty Boy and Sam Smith, with "La La La"!
Many songs here managed to scoop two votes - M.I.A., Mutya Keisha Siobhan and David Bowie to be precise - whilst every other song just got the one vote.

[Shaun]

As though making the lists for the main awards wasn't enough, these breakthrough acts from 2013 have their very own award to look forward to.

http://imageshack.us/a/img547/50/0nov.png

Only one act could win, though, and with 36% that person, or group, was...

Lmao, Janelle who is more popular than Lady Gaga and Rihanna on this forum? Thats just a lie, and definitely false just check the amount of users posting in the appreciation threads, clearly other people don't vote like me because of the last 2 years of music game thread's ending magically after 4 hours of the public voting deadline, where the other remaining song just overtakes the more popular song & then closes straight after

Despite only having two good songs, Iggy Azalea came second with 28%. Ciara and Lana del Rey secured the "flogging a dead horse" vote (I'M SORRY SALMAN I LOVE HER REALLY) with a respectable 14% each, and apparently Miley can stop. With 8%. Twerk.

Meh HAIM are okay, I was hoping for Phoenix.

[Shaun]

someone give cuda his hot water bottle please he's getting a bit rowdy

[Shaun]

I have never been so proud in all my life of you bitches for selecting these nominees for best album. They are all at least "very good" (except one but I can't get rid of him it seems).

The winning LP with 36% of the vote, was...

"good kid, m.A.A.d city" by Kendrick Lamar!
Which is only fair as the first 10/10 album according to Shaunfork :dazzler: The two Js were joint runners-up with 21% each, and Chance the Rapper was fourth. HAIM's days are indeed gone :(

[Shaun]

A very fine lineup of songs, you asked? I shall deliver...

"Get Lucky" by Daft Punk, and "#Beautiful" by Mariah Carey and Miguel!
Beautiful :lovedup: "Mirrors" and "Wake Me Up" were the closest runners-up with 14% apiece, whilst Rihanna, Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus and Janelle Monae were picking over the scraps at 7% each.

[reece(:]

Get Lucky is sooo annoying now. #JusticeForMileyAndJanelle

[Shaun]

There haven't been many awards where a nominee has gone home with nothing but one of these artists has the dubious honour of 0%.

We'll get to who in a bit, but the winning newbie with a massive 42% (it's the biggest percentage anyone gets tonight ok try to sound impressed) is...

Iggy Azalea!
HAIM and Chance the Rapper were joint second on 21% each, and the last 16% goes to... Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Poor old MS MR got nothing.

We're nearly there guys. It's OK.

Two of these songs failed to impress altogether and go away without even a pity vote. But the winning song - which was never in doubt with 36% of an 8-way vote - was...

[reece(:]

Work, Clarity or Royals :dazzler:

"Work" by Iggy Azalea!
HAIM's "Don't Save Me" was second with 22%. Zedd and Macklemore managed a somewhat fine placing of joint-third (14%), whilst Lorde and Rhye got 7% each. Mike WiLL didn't make it, and Avicii was never going to be the one.

[Shaun]

I'm so glad that black woman with the bald head didn't win, she won enough mobo's and me and my mum don't like her anyway

Good ol Iggy

[Shaun]

Onto the miscellaneous awards, where anyone can win - British or otherwise - now, and in a year where the pop queens dominated the music channels, these five videos caught your eye.

You're probably not surprised to discover that the winning video (again with 36%) is...

Wrecking Ball surely

Mike will made it has made some AMAZING songs this year (Body Party, some of Cassie's mixtape, Kisses Down Low, Miley's album) but 22 was average

Pour It Up

Work Bitch, Wrecking Ball, Pour It Up all worthy.

"Pour It Up" by Rihanna!
"Wrecking Ball", for all of its controversy, stalled in second place with 28%. Janelle Monae came third (21%) and Azealia Banks somehow managed to get not one vote BUT TWO (15%). Amazingly, a TiBB awards ceremony went by with Britney Spears flopping.

Next up, it's the award where we nominate the one act we all saw this year. Whether it was at a festival, on SNL, or at the MOBOs.

Putting in another fine performance here with 36%, the winner is...

Kanye West!
Mutya Keisha Siobhan were, a little bafflingly (given how low-profile their performances have been :suspect:) second with 28%. Arcade Fire and Janelle Monae were joint-third, and Arctic Monkeys just got one vote. Probably from Jake. I don't remember.

[Shaun]

Now, for all of the disagreements in this thread tonight I'm sure we can all unite behind hating the winner of this award.
