The Popjustice £20 Music Prize won by CHVRCHES

[Shaun]

Every year the website does a counter-measure to the Mercury Prize for pop songs - I think British ones to be specific - where they meet in a pub and argue about it for a while and give twenty quid to the one voted the best.

This year's nominees are...

CHVRCHES - The Mother we Share
Disclosure - White Noise
Duke Dumont - Need U 100%
Mutya Keisha Siobhan - Flatline
Little Mix - DNA
Girls Aloud - Something New
One Direction - Kiss You
Olly Murs - Dear Darlin'
The Saturdays - Gentleman (!!!?!)
Petula Clark - Cut Copy Me
VV Brown - The Apple
Robbie Williams - Candy

now yes this is a very good list of songs with maybe 2 exceptions but which one gets your vote

[Shaun]

i have voted for VV because no one else will

also it is a ****ing tune

CHVRCHES were my favourites from this years Sound of 2013, and I really quite liked the album a lot, totally my sort of thing, so would like them.

But aren't Popjustice massive Sugababes fans? So I can see MKS getting it. :laugh:

[Z]

I can feel a flatline that oughta be a wave

Girls Aloud have won the prize I think 5 times :laugh: so I can see Something New being the favourite

Need U 100% (:love:) > Kiss You > Candy

DNA and Dear Darlin' are good but not worthy enough

[Jack_]

also I'm disgusted at Gentlemen being considered better than What About Us like just no

Ah :laugh:

I think Jealousy won last time? I love their twitter responses to Will every time he tweets :love:

[Black Dagger]

Ah, right before I responded. Good winners for the majority (and I like Example -shoot me I deserve it s0b-)

White Noise > Flatline > DNA > rest

[Black Dagger]

Mini Viva were robbed in 2010 though :mad: that £20 could have kept their career going for a little while longer :sad: (like how all 3 of their songs featured in the lineup pmsl)

[King Gizzard]

Kiss You/White Noise

[Me. I Am Salman]

Need U (100%) > all those vile songs
Rudimental/Katy B should be up there

[Tom4784]

The Apple followed by The Mother We Share

[Z]

Okay but if we have to pretend Flatline isn't the best song on the list where are you all ranking it?

[Black Dagger]

42nd i guess xo

[Shaun]

8th if I'm really honest Greg :(

The Apple, Something New, Candy, Kiss You, White Noise, Need U and The Mother We Share >

[Matt]

I'm happy as long as it's Something New or Flatline

[Z]

8th if I'm really honest Greg :(

The Apple, Something New, Candy, Kiss You, White Noise, Need U and The Mother We Share >

[Me. I Am Salman]

Why are GA always nominated

[Shaun]

because they're always amazing

[Me. I Am Salman]

The only good songs up there are No Good Advice (their best song :love:) and Call the Shots although that's kind of dull

[Shaun]

Biology >

[Me. I Am Salman]

Ew that's cheesy

[Z]

Biology >

Biology's never clicked with me. I know a lot of people think it's their best song for a variety of reasons but I'd put it near the bottom of their singles discography

[Me. I Am Salman]

The Sugababes (ignoring anything 2009+) >>>> GA :idc:

[Z]

The Sugababes (ignoring anything 2009+) >>>> GA :idc:

I guess it depends what you want in a pop act. Not that it comes up particularly often, but if I were asked to compare them, I wouldn't, because the only thing they really have in common is that they're both pop groups consisting of women.

Girls Aloud have amazing visuals, are glamorous, attractive, have fun songs and generally have the better discography if you want to put on a party playlist.

Sugababes (and their continuation in the form of MKS) at their peak were effortlessly cool, had amazing harmonies, meaningful song lyrics, could switch between styles and were always going to have the longer careers because they're singer-songwriters, not celebrities standing behind microphones. They've maintained careers without becoming a tabloid band.

Has to be Flatline, or TMWS :love:

[Jordan.]

also I'm disgusted at Gentlemen being considered better than What About Us like just no

Disco Love is better than both http://i.imgur.com/i2BFVD2.png

CHVRCHES HAVE TAKEN IT :amazed:

Superb, both my choices won tonight.

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Joelle.]

Disco Love is better than both http://i.imgur.com/i2BFVD2.png

And Wildfire is better than all 3 http://i.imgur.com/i2BFVD2.png

[Joelle.]

It's a decent list ruined by the X Factor trash that is Murs and 1D.

was the prize £20, Idgi?

Well the winner of the Mercury Prize, wins £20,000 so it's a play off that. :laugh:
