Totally forgot to vote in this, despite loads of my nominations making it into their respected categories. I was just so busy around Christmas. What a shame. - Still looking forward to the results.

BEST FEMALE SOLO ARTIST

WINNER… TAYLOR SWIFT (18 votes)



Paloma Faith (6 votes)
Cheryl (5 votes)
Ella Henderson (5 votes)

Our first winner is Taylor Swift! 2014 was a fabulous year for Taylor, as she released her first official pop album 1989 and smashed tonnes of records in the US and grabbed two worldwide hits to add to her already extensive collection with Blank Space and Shake It Off. She can start 2015 similarly excellently, and keep shaking off the haters who call her a $l*t with a prestigious Pop Forum Award, and she achieved the most votes of any act in a positive category (more on that later). It’s not even close as Taylor is 12 votes ahead of Paloma Faith, who has one of the biggest selling albums of 2014, Cheryl, who added two #1s to her collection and broke a record for most chart toppers for a solo UK female, and Ella Henderson, who scored one of the year’s biggest hits with Ghost despite only coming sixth on The X Factor in 2012.

BEST MALE SOLO ARTIST

WINNER… SAM SMITH (11 votes)



Calvin Harris (9 votes)
Ed Sheeran (7 votes)
Olly Murs (7 votes)

Our first male winner is Sam Smith… Yay…. Sam was everywhere you turned in 2014, scoring one of the first #1s of the year with Money On My Mind, then following it up with Stay With Me. The public lap him up, but some criticise him for being whiny or needy as all of his songs seem to be about his unrecquited gay crush! Hot (literally, if you’ve seen the Armani pics!!!) on his heels is dance producer Calvin Harris, who released a new album this year featuring collaborations with Haim, Ellie Goulding and John Newman, among others. Sam’s fellow omnipresence Ed Sheeran might have scored the biggest selling album of the year with x, but he flags here by coming joint last! The man who’s booty should be the eighth wonder of the world joins Ed in last place, despite having another strong start to an album campaign, scoring two top 5 hits and a #1 album.

Very deserved for Taylor! Rather shocked that Sam has won that though, he seems so hated here. ohmy.gif

Taylor though, her album is SO overrated on here bad. Happy for Sam Smith however, his singles have got better with each release.

BEST GROUP

WINNER… ONE DIRECTION (9 votes)



Neon Jungle (8 votes)
G.R.L. (7 votes)
The Saturdays (6 votes)
The Vamps (4 votes)

Our best group for 2014 is, perhaps unsurprisingly, One Direction! 2014 saw the release of their fourth album, imaginatively titled FOUR, as well as their top 5 single Steal My Girl and another top 10 in Night Changes, and their dedicated fanbase stood by them here and snatched them a Pop Forum Award to start 2015 in style. This was a close fought thing though, as Neon Jungle are surprisingly just one vote behind off the back of their album Welcome To The Jungle. Even more impressive is G.R.L.’s seven votes, as they only released one single, Ugly Heart, this year! Sadly they were stalled by the tragic death of member Simone in the week that Ugly Heart was released in the UK. Buzzjack favourites The Saturdays flag with just 6 votes after 2014 just saw two flop singles and Frankie coming in the top 3 of Strictly Come Dancing, and boyband The Vamps score only 4 votes - the same amount of top 10 hits they had in 2014.

SOCIAL MEDIA ICON

WINNER… Rihanna (11 votes)



Britney Spears (10 votes)
Taylor Swift (8 votes)
Madonna (4 votes)

Known for her controversial posts and often honest and abrasive air, it’s perhaps not a surprise Rihanna is the social media icon for 2014! Perhaps her most remembered moment was her being banned from Instagram due to topless photos circulating, and she is also known for blasting rumours by denying anything and everything first hand on her own social media accounts. Britney runs her close, coming only one vote away from victory, probably largely for her iconic scooter video (more on that one later). Taylor Swift is very interactive on her twitter, and is always pleasing her fans with her tendency to “Taylurk” their profiles. Madonna is arguably a surprising last place, as she is always causing confusion and controversy with her typical gran on twitter posts whilst still trying to be “down wiv da kids 2k15”. Maybe she’ll snatch this in the 2015 awards, given the recent controversy around her Rebel Heart images that depict various dead icons photoshopped to look like the album cover...

Shocked but pleased that Sam Smith won solo male, not an easy one to call though, thought Calvin might have taken it.

Also surprised at One Direction winning best group, I guess the girlbands split the vote a bit! Very happy with that even though The Vamps were my first choice. Neon Jungle in second though :S

BEST EMERGING POP ARTIST

WINNER… Ella Henderson (11 votes)



Charli XCX (10 votes)
Tove Lo (8 votes)
Meghan Trainor (4 votes)

Perhaps not surprising is that the girl behind one of the biggest hits of the year snatches this title, but what is maybe a little more surprising is Charli XCX coming just one vote away from dethroning her - especially given as she’s technically not really emerging as she’s released two albums before this era kink.gif And her best song Nuclear Seasons is nearly 4 years (!!!) old now. Anyway, Ella had an amazing 2014 two years after crashing out of X Factor behind Christopher Maloney, Rylan, Union J and ChowMein (and James Arthur but he wasn’t quite as bad!), with a #1 debut single that’s set to cross a million sales (/streams) and a #1 album that’s set to go platinum. Tove Lo is also not exactly emerging either, although her debut album was released this year and she had unexpected international success including a top 3 hit in the US with the glorious Habits. “Controversial” new star Meghan Trainor comes in last, having scored a divisive smash with “skinny bitches” shaming All About That Bass.
