I wouldn’t say it’s particularly rated enough to be overrated, but I won’t argue with it winning this as it’s obnoxiously irritating and the only bad song on this list. I guess it selling anything at all makes it overrated. Hello has been inescapbel in the past few months so whilst I adore it I can see how it would be seen as overrated. The powerful chorus bulldozed past rivals to become a #1 with megasales and of course set up the slayage of 25. FourFiveSeconds again isn’t particularly rated well however you look at it, but here it is. I actually rather like it, it’s more of an album track or even hidden track but it was nice to hear Rhanna take a risk and get a hit out of it. Drag Me Down was an instant #1 for 1D following a “Beyonce’d” release, although I remember some fans being disappointed that it was a step down from their previous material. It’s neither here nor there for me, I can take it or leave it, but again it doesn’t seem to be that overly popular with fans/th public/us to me. In a rightful last place as it can NEVER get enough love is Black Magic by Little Mix. An exercise in perfect pop, this track quite frankly deserves every ounce of critical acclaim it attracts.

Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	Best male solo artist Justin Bieber – 13 votes Nick Jonas – 5 votes Jason DeRulo – 4 votes Olly Murs – 4 votes Ed Sheeran – 3 votes Charlie Puth – 2 votes Of course, it was probably pretty obvious the king of 2016 would smash this. You haven’t been able to escpe Bieber for 2015, especially the latter couple of months which have seen him dominating the top 5 with two or three entries for most weeks! From dance bangers like Sorry to acoustic ballad Love Yourself, Purpose seems to have something for everybody and he’ll probably try his best to dominate 2016 as well! Nick Jonas is a distant 2nd, with his song Jealous being probably my favourite male track of the past copuple of years as well as smashing in the UK. Levels didn’t do so well, but he’s also incredibly hot which probs helped given this is Buzzjack Jason DeRulo had a huge hit with Want To Want Me in the UK, although sadly the era has been such a mess since that :/ Cheyenne, Try Me and Get Ugly could all be huge the former two seem to have been squandered and skipped, hopefully Get Ugly does something now. Bae of my heart Olly Murs didn’t have the greatest year musically, with Seasons being a misfire as a single and I never really got into Kiss Me fully He manages four votes though as Kiss Me was well receved on here. Its follow-up really shouldn’t be mentioned but 2016 has started well for Olly fans of a certain persuasion for other reasons as he’s been papped on holiday Ed Sheeran is in a similar position, with Bloodstream and Photograph being his only single releases and not being his best. However, his 2014 megaseller x kept shifting shedloads of copies throughout 2015 and would have been the top seller for a second year in a row if Adele hadn’t obliterated him with twice the sales in just the last month and a half of the year! Charlie Puth trails in last place, despite having been featured on one of the years’ biggest hits (See You Again) and scoring another #1 besides. At least he’s hot.

Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,176 User: 10,139	Best comeback Justin Bieber – 10 votes Adele – 7 votes Little Mix – 7 votes Carly Rae Jepsen – 5 votes Marina & The Diamonds – 3 votes Justin Bieber snatches this one from Adele and Little Mix, which as much as I love the other two is something I feel is right. Comeback is a bit of an odd category that is open to personal interpretation, but Justin went from being one of the most hated and panned popstars a few years to total domination and turning the whole world in the world with a couple of dance bangers which is definitely a strong comeback! Adele and Little Mix tie for second place, with both continuing their always strong presence with brilliant albums and sales (Adele’s being incomparably stratospheric as usual, of course). Carly Rae Jepsen is also somewhat impressive, although Kiss was well received she was seen as a write off one hit wonder and smashed back with critical acclaim for her second album Emotion. It’s a shame that didn’t translate into sales in the same as Justin Bieber though. Finally, Marina & The Diamonds returned 3 years after the rlease of Electra Heart, with a sound that mixed both her previous albums but quality that (imo) wasn’t quite as good, even though she always slays x

Ellie might be a great popstar but admittedly even as a fan her live performances aren’t her strong point!! Ballads can be OK but it’s on uptempos like On My Mind that Ellie’s vocal becomes a breathy mess like this. I don’t think ti’s the worst on this list but it really wasn’t good. Kanye’s BRITs performance was a huge talking point, as there were pretty much more words censored than broadcast! As a result it was just a bizarre watch, and the song is just a mess in the first place. Sam Smith and John Legend’s Comic Relief performance was a masterclass in utter tedium. Much like the song really, and Sam Smith’s entire existence pretty much. Another X Factor performance comes from Jess Glynne. Despite her soulful voice being evident on record, Jess is rather shaky live and this was a total mess. A song like Take Me Home could come across so well live, but it was very off key, flat and just a really awful awkward listen. In last place is Madonna’s iconic BRIT performance, for reasons touched upon already. It was a bit awful that she fell over but for her to get back up and carry on and the performance to be fine was really impressive, certainly not worthy of “worst” performance imo.

Their new poppier sound that meshed the sonic vibes of DNA and Salute was a winner with the public and has proven that they’re, in my opinion, the most vocally talented commercial girl group since Destiny’s Child. Putting up a fair fight in second place, Sound Of 2015 victors Years & Years grab an impressive 11 votes. They scored a #1 single and album, with King being one of the biggest hits of the year. They’d have been my second choice after Little Mix, go Buzzjack having taste . Fifth Harmony are a distant third following their UK breakout with the hit Worth It in 2015. They’ve come along so well as a group since X Factor US in 2012, with some great songs despite their album being patchy. With another album due in 2016, they could show even more as they have real potential still. One Direction have been the biggest boyband in the world since they formed, but they’ve petered out for now and are on hiatus. 2015 saw their fourth album Made In The AM released, which sold solidly as always, but they only received one vote here despite having an artist forum unlike 5H and Y&Y. Poor G.R.L. started the year with a flop single in Lighthouse, following the tragic death of member Simone Battle in 2014. The group didn’t survive the loss of their star member unfortunately, and G.R.L. are no more. It’s a such a shame as Ugly Heart showed they had massive amounts of potential. Also receiving 0 votes are The Vamps, who seem to have become more of a fanbase act this era, with less than impressive chart placings and sales. Sadly, none of said fanbase could spare a vote for them here. Interestingly, these two acts were the only options in any award to receive 0 votes! With that, I am out and I will leave you in the capable hands of Tim for the final few awards!

Tyga & Chris Brown – Do It Again – 3 votes Grace – You Don’t Own Me – 2 votes Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor – Marvin Gaye – 1 vote 3JZ4pnNtyxQ The best UK debut comes from Fleur East and her sax. Despite the song being mainly trumpets. Sax was a commercial success in the UK and is currently making waves in Australia. Europe should follow soon anf hopefully a US debut is down the line for her as well. Natalie La Rose is the ultimate one-hit wonder of 2015. Her hit single Somebody charted in the UK top 5 and after that it all went tits up. However, the Jerimih collab claims 2nd place and is regarded as the 2nd debut. Rachel Platten’s fight song comes 3rd with 5 votes, despite charting higher than Fleur and Natalie. Wot a flop. Pia Mia, Grace and Charlie Puth come 4th, 5th and 6th with their respective songs Do it Again, You Don’t Own Me and Marvin Gaye. Poor Charlie claims yet another last placer. Pia Mia was one of the biggest surprises of the year and tot his day I still wonder how it did so well, apart from the flawless factor. ©Commentary by *Tim

How dare she? We were all rooting for that performance but the cape had to bully old people and pull Madonna down the stairs. Bullying old people is mean, Madonna’s Cape, and karma will hit you in the face. Zayn Malik claims 2nd place in the year he dumped Perrie Edwards via text, left One Direction and feuded with his producer Naughty Boy. Him leaving 1D would be forgiven, had he not claimed to be leaving to spend more time with Perrie and get out of the spotlight. Instead Mr. Malik went on to dump Perrie weeks after and start working on his solo album. Such a fraud. The bottom 3 is made up of Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Jess Glynne, for crimes against music, overexposure and being bland. ©Commentary by *Tim

A$AP Rocky – Good For You – 3 votes Justin Bieber – Sorry – 2 votes Zara Larsson – Lush Life – 2 votes MkElfR_NPBI Little Mix claimed yet another victory as Black Magic becomes Best Single of 2015, just edging out Carly Rae Jepsen. It was a two horse race and the #1 single Black Magic won it with 14-12. Run Away With Me did well for such a horrible flop single. She put up a fight, but it wasn;t enough. I guess being overrated as f*** doesn’t guarantee you a win :’) Selenur’s collab of the year manages a third place with 3 votes, while Bieber and Zara Larsson tie for 4th place with Sorry and Lush Life. Sorry was a worldwide #1 hit and made the world into even bigger beliebers. It is a great song, but not as good as What Do you mean and Love Yourself. Zara Larsson is set to break through in 2k16 as Lush Life is blwoing up on Spotify, way before its release on iTunes. It already charted on the UK charts due to this. ©Commentary by *Tim

Her single Forever Young became one of the worst performing winners singles ever. You’d think being on X-Factor alone and winning it should secure you at least some decent first week sales? Guess not. Demon flopped with Confident and as her biggest hater on this website, I am sad about this. Confident was a great song, but I guess radio didn’t like it and it was a bit too in your face for the GP. It was the best choice left on the album tho. Rhenna has been frustrating her fans for the whole of 2015, but Bitch Better Have My Money takes 3rd place. The song flopped pretty badly, only performing well on US urban radio. With ANTi still nowhere to be found, it is doubtful whether she can regain her hold on the music industry again. TheVamps wake up at #4 and idk this sang. But it is The Vamps so is it really a surprise this flopped? Same goes for Lighthouse. Did anyone really expect this to do more than a low top 400 on iTunes? Let’s be real people, this was destined to flop. ©Commentary by *Tim
