The Buzzjack 2018 Dance Music Awards

 

To follow the Pop forum's revival of Awards, we've decided to bring back the idea to the Dance forum too after it previously hosted in 2013 and 2014. We're going to keep things nice and simple, going back to the 8 categories that we had in 2013.

• Breakthrough act of the year
• Male vocal performance of the year
• Female vocal performance of the year
• Producer of the year
• Group of the year
• Album of the year
• Worst song of the year
• Best song of the year

Rules:

You may nominate up to five acts or songs per category and post them in this thread. Those with the most nominations will make it to the voting round.

All artists/songs/albums nominated must be of the dance genre and released (or gained significant popularity) in 2018.

For the vocal performance categories you must nominate the vocalist and the song.

You have until Fri 21/12/18 23:59 to nominate.

MK won't count for Breakthrough Act, he's been around for a long time!
