We’ve reached the end of the year. So it’s time to look back over the last twelve months of music and take stock of the best. The absolute best. The best songs, albums, EPs, and of course the artists who made them.
As is customary here at Scandipop, this takes the form of the annual Scandipop Awards. This year there are thirteen categories, and we’d love it if you voted in all of them.
Voting is open now and will remain open until midnight on Sunday, January 21st. And the week after, we’ll announce the winners.
Until then, we’ve compiled the obligatory playlist. This time around, a 73 song affair that runs for just over four hours. A playlist of the most essential Scandipop to have come out in the last twelve months. Play here.
Vote for your faves;
