Previous winners include Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta and Afrojack.
Quick run along some of the nominees for this years award:
Avicii-Wake me Up
It's been a great-ish year from Avicii. As he recovers from his operation, he has some great things still comming out of him such as the new song “The Days”. Wake me Up was undoubtly one of the biggest EDM tracks around when it came out. Mixing country and dance, Avicii created the perfect track to zone out to.
Daft Punk-Get Lucky
The robots were on a mad one this year, collaborating with Pharrell Williams to create on of the longest standing No.1 tunes on iTunes charts. Pharrell is known for his release “Happy“, but recently credited the success of the song purely on Daft Punk. Interesting…
Calvin Harris-I Need Your Love
Fantastic year yet again for Calvin Harris. Loads of number ones and collaboration with artists all around the place. This one featured Ellie Goulding and topped charts all around the world with its vibrant rhythm and lyrics. Good Job Calvin!
