After a week of surprises and position changes, the results have ended up both a little bit predictable and fairly one-sided. Fans have voted in force... and all for the same nominee. But if you ignore the winners (even though it was a competition) the rest of the results were close, hard fought battles, where some very worthy nominees picked up "best of the rest" titles.
The "Yeah, That Was Pretty Decent" Single Award
Winner
Taking an astounding 70% of the votes, Radioactive by Marina and the Diamonds was most likely YOUR choice for single of the year. And if these awards were in any way important, 679 Artists would over the moon because...
Runner Up
Taking second place is Crave by Spark with a relatively impressive 10% and in my opinion, deservedly so. Hardworking and very talented, she is without doubt, the perfect recipe for success.

3rd Place
Missing out by just one vote on the runner up spot was Queen Of Hearts with Shoot The Bullet, someone who has a lot planned for 2012 and is worth keeping an eye on.

The "Yeah, That Was Pretty Decent" Album Award
Winner
Also dominating her category with 70% of the votes was Ida Maria with her album Katla, I don't think anyone could argue that she's not earned it.
Runner Up
Taking over half the remaining votes (16.67%) Alice Gold finishes runner up, with my personal favourite, Seven Rainbows. It's a beautiful album that everyone should own and it's clear that many of you agree.
Third Place
Another album that everyone should own proves the massive feat achieved by our winner and runner up as Ceremonials by Florence and the Machine comes third, claiming almost all of the remaining votes (10%)
