Sia takes out the main two awards, and she did have a very big year. She won this quite convincingly with 45% of the vote, second was Ariana Grande with 25% and third was Little Mix with 15%.
OUR PICK: Red Flag - All Saints
This was a tough one, and for weeks we have been tossing up between Ariana, Sia and All Saints - but we had to go for All Saints. It really is a brilliant comeback album with solid tunes and beautiful vocals. Our Top Ten list out within the week.

With 35% of the vote each, All Saints and Little Mix tied for first place. What a great year for UK girl groups! Second was Bastille with 15%.
OUR PICK: All Saints
Taking home their second award from us, All Saints had a great year, "One Strike" was a brilliant tune and the rest of the album was just as good - welcome back ladies, please stay!
Best Male Artist of 2016
The Nominees:
- Alex Newell
- Nathan Sykes
- Nick Jonas
- Shawn Mendes
- Zayn
YOUR PICK: Zayn
Doing very well for himself now he's gone solo, Zayn managed to take home 40% of the vote. Shawn Mendes was second with 25% and Nick Jonas was third with 20%.
OUR PICK: Zayn
Well we agree with your pick! Though this was a tough one, it has been a strong year for men in pop - and that's not always the case. But Zayn had an amazing year, we have even included four of his songs in our upcoming Top 50 songs of 2016 list.
Best Female Artist of 2016
The Nominees:
- Ariana Grande
- Britney Spears
- Emeli Sandi
- Melanie C
- Sia
YOUR PICK: Ariana Grande
Sia may have taken out best song and album, but as female artist you all voted Ariana on top with 35% of the vote, Sia was close with 30% and third was Melanie C on 15%. Early on in this vote it was almost a 5 way tie!
OUR PICK: Ariana Grande
While we LOVE all 5 ladies, there could only be one winner for us. Ariana has had a great year, her "Dangerous Woman" album is brilliant and the singles have been sublime. She seems to only be getting better.
Best Australian Act of 2016
The Nominees:
- Delta Goodrem
- Grace
- Jessica Mauboy
- Sia
- The Veronicas
YOUR PICK: Sia
This was a pretty big win for Aussie native Sia with 60% of the vote. Aussie legend Jessica Mauboy scored 20% and wonderful The Veronicas scored 15% to come in third.
OUR PICK: Sia
You couldn't look past Sia this year. Her album was amazing and the singles from this year, "Cheap Thrills" and "The Greatest" were very special indeed. Plus, she released a whole bunch of soundtrack songs that were all great.
Best Australian Tour of 2016
The Nominees:
- Clare Bowen
- Little Mix
- Madonna
- Selena Gomez
- Troye Sivan
YOUR PICK: Madonna
The Queen of Pop took out the year's biggest win with 65% of the vote. Little Mix and Troye Sivan tied for second place with 15% each.
OUR PICK: Madonna
There could never be any doubt that Madonna would win this. We saw Madonna in both Melbourne and Sydney, and her "Rebel Heart" tour was awe inspiring and truly spectacular. She is a gifted live performer who really does give the world's best live show.
Best Australian Retro Tour of 2016
The Nominees:
- Belinda Carlisle
- Brandy
- Kim Wilde ./ Howard Jones
- TLC
- Totally 80s
YOUR PICK: Totally 80s
No wonder this tour won, what a line up, Martika, Berlin, Paul Lekasis and heaps more. You loved it, with 35% of the vote, TLC were second with 30% and Belinda Carlisle was third with 20% of the vote.
OUR PICK: Totally 80s
This was a hard category cause we LOVED all these shows, but we couldn't go past this massive line up of 80s legends. Paul Lekasis was sexy, Berlin was passionate and we had been dying to see Martika since the 80s. It was a brilliant night of music that we loved. We need a Totally 80s 2!!
Best New Artist
The Nominees:
- Alessia Cara
- Daya
- DNCE
- Dua Lipa
- Zayn
YOUR PICK: DNCE
Joe Jonas and his band had a massive 2016 led by the catchy as hell, "Cake by the Ocean". In our vote they took out 35% of the vote, Zayn was second with 25% and there was a tie for third, with Dua Lipa and Alessia Cara both scoring 15% of the vote.
OUR PICK: DNCE
We agree with you, though it was a strong category. We saw DNCE open for Selena Gomez this year and they were brilliant - so we had to pick them as the best new talent of 2016.
Thanks for voting, and remember to check in with us in the next few weeks for more great reviews and our best of 2016 lists.
