As we reach the end of the year, let’s take a look back and highlight the absolute best pop music that has come out of the Nordic countries over the past twelve months. By category. And with a voting element.
It’s the nominations for the ninth annual Scandipop Awards. And this year for the first time ever, we’re asking you to vote in all sixteen of the categories. We’ve narrowed it down to the best, and now we’d love you to choose your own favourite.
Listen, discover, remember, vote, and share. Voting closes at midnight on Friday, January 13th. Winners announced the following week.
Here are all of the nominees in what is basically literally totally the best Spotify playlist of the year. And here is the full list of nominations for the 2017 Scandipop Awards;
