Hey guys and welcome to the 2018 Pop Forum Awards This is to celebrate the best and worst that pop gave us in 2018 *.* This year started out pretty weak for pop in terms of success with most of our faves flopping but pop seems to be making a mini resurgence towards the end of 2018 *.*
We'd love you to participate in this and not this flop like the last couple of years (if y'all let this flop again, we're pulling the plug permanently we agreed x)

The Rules:
- Nominate 5 songs or artists per each category
- The song must've been released between 1st January 2018 to whatever the date is today. (tho songs released in 2017 that became singles in 2018 such as Delicate are eligible)

Please use this thread to post for your consideration posts + campaign for your faves/least faves as well as predicting and discussing the outcomes of the nominations!

Vote by sending a PM to me (UltraReputation). Please do not vote in this thread as the more anonymous noms make it way more fun.

Now let's get onto the fun part, the categories *.*

The Categories: (ofc all categories pertain to pop so plz don't go nominating random rappers or rock acts etc x)
Best Male Artist
Best Female Artist
Best Group
Best Breakthrough Artist

Best Song
Best Solo Song
Best Collaboration or Group Song
Best Album
Best Music Video

Most Iconic Pop Moment of 2018
Surprise Hit of the Year
Surprise Flop of the Year
Best Artwork by a Pop Artist in 2018 (single & album artworks)
Best Album Track (aka a song on a 2018 album that wasn't released as a single)
Best Live Performance
Best Comeback of 2018
Most Anticipated Comeback for 2019

Worst Artist or Group

So that's 20 + 1 more category will remain under wraps til voting starts x
