SONG OF THE YEAR: KENDRICK LAMAR - 'Humble'

 

He may have been pipped to the post in the album stakes, but Kendrick Lamar was the clear winner of the 'Song of the Year' with the fierce 'Humble', scoring 12.7% of the overall vote. He trumped Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You', which came in second place with 11.1%, proving that NO, ED, YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee may have broken records with 'Despacito', but they came third in our poll with 10.3% of the vote, while Arcade Fire's 'Everything Now' and Lorde's 'Green Light' finished joint fourth with 8.7% each.

IRISH GIG OF THE YEAR: COLDPLAY @ Croke Park

 

Whether your ears are acclimatised to Chris Martin's often-irritating ramblings or not, there's no question that his band knows how to put on a damned fine show. That's why they came out on top of our Gig of the Year poll with a whopping 21.5% of the total vote - and anyone who was at Croke Park in July for their colourful, excellent live show won't begrudge them, either. In second place was Guns N' Roses at Slane with 15.8%, while U2's Croke Park gig came in third at 10.5%. In fourth and fifth place were Radiohead at the 3Arena (5.1%) and Arcade Fire's Malahide Castle gig (4.2%). A special mention must go to Eddie Vedder's 3Arena gig, which wasn't on the shortlist but which many of our readers hailed as one of the year's best.

1. Coldplay @ Croke Park
2. Guns N' Roses @ Slane
