I can't remember who I voted for on this one! I think I quite liked Years and Years at the time but seeing a clip of them live was... disappointing.

Yasss slay Foxes

Years & Years!
What a lovely...year...for them! Ha-ha-ha! Little Mix surprisingly only finished third here, one vote behind those pesky CHVRCHES. Apparently there are four One Direction fans on the forum so feel free to hunt them down, and spare a thought for that one chap that thought "yes let's vote Disclosure they're in with a chance here"

Not Olly robbing Lauren!! Well deserved I guess

[Morgan.]

Fairly happy, yeah!

King (No pun intended)

I can't actually pretend I give even the smallest slithers of shit about the outcome of this award so let's just get it out of the way.

A two-horse race finally saw 36% of the vote tip the way of...

The runner-up here was Jess Glynne (lucas!) on 24%. Rita Ora finished third on 20%, Charli XCX just about managed to save herself from embarrassment with 16%, and Ellie Bloody Goulding Might As Well Go Kill Herself because she got 2 votes. Which is 8% btw.

Hurrah

Mumford and Sons. Forgot to vote this one

[Shaun]

Mumford & Sons!
A stellar year for the ampersand this. Stereophonics came close and might have actually won if the only vocal fan of them on the forum HAD BLOODY VOTED but no, they settle for 28%. The Maccabees were third, Catfish and the Bottlemen fourth, and some more made up words finished last.

I voted the hottest ones

[Shaun]

Skimming down the list of categories to the celebration of "new people" now and we celebrate what's actually been a pretty terrible year for new British music with this sorry list of nominees.

And in an unsurprising landslide, 48% of the vote went to...

[Black Dagger]

If only the others had believed

[AProducer'sWetDream]

I don't know 3/5 of these nominees

[Shaun]

Years & Years!
The ever-popular Jess Glynne did sort-of scrape back some semblance of a chance of winning this thing by the process of 36% of the vote, whilst Lapsley impressed a staggering 3 people. The other two nominees each received one vote, presumably from people taking the piss / feeling charitable.

Indie Jess?

Olly

Mumford & Sons make me sick

[Shaun]

The accompanying category for a single by a new artist was actually fairly strong, I feel.

Who releases singles with a lobster as their artwork? Who, I ask? Anyway, the winning track, with 24%, is...

[Morgan.]

James Bay please.

[AProducer'sWetDream]

I'd be happy with quite a few of these.

[Shaun]

"King", by Years & Years!








anyway. The real winner, Sigala's "Easy Love", finished joint-second with James Bay on 16% apiece. MNEK and Sigma both managed 12%, KDA and that other Years & Years song 8%, Karen Harding and Jess Glynne both took one vote and Blonde received absolutely nothing so go home.
