We’ve stopped. We’ve looked back through the year. And we’ve taken stock of everything that has happened in Scandinavian pop music in 2011. And so now it’s time for us to recognise what we feel was the absolute best.
Which means – it’s the 4th annual Scandipop Awards!
17 categories that feature the names of what we think were the best songs, albums, and artists of the year. And in early January we’ll be deciding and announcing the winners.
However, we’ve also introduced a new 18th category. And this category is the first time that readers of this website will be able to vote and decide the winner. A sort of ‘people’s choice award’, if you will. The nominations and details on how to vote are at the bottom of this article.
Now then. The nominations!
