>> {deadline: Sat 18 Nov 23:59} <<

 

Taking all the songs that got 3 or more nominations, we have a shortlist of 45 songs this year to vote from. The shortlist can be found at the end of this post.

 

Some fun facts before we get going:

 

• last year's winner Calum Scott did not receive a single nomination this year, probably due to his follow up single charting at a disappointing #90 and being forgotten by everyone.

• the most nominations were given to Chris & Kem's 'Little Bit Leave It' this year, with nine nominations. Whether this will translate into a "victory" for them is yet to be seen.

• you really didn't like Ed Sheeran this year! with five songs in the shortlist he has the most entries of everyone here.

• other artists with multiple entries are Imagine Dragons, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Lil Uzi Vert, Machine Gun Kelly, Maroon 5, Migos, Quavo, Rag'n'Bone Man and Taylor Swift. Katy has three and the others have two (though Quavo has four when you include his contributions to Migos).

 

You may vote for up to 15 songs using the following format. Please vote for at least 10, I'm sure you won't find it hard to choose 15 though. You have until the deadline stated at the top of the page.

if it's worth anything Taylor would've only got my +15 if enough people actually nominated the real worst song of the year, Demi Lovato 'Sorry Not Sorry'!!!

So Dan can nominate Zedd and get off unscathed?! Disgusted. xoxo
