Welcome to the Record of the Year website!
THE BEST AND MOST EXCITING AWARD IN MUSIC!!

For many years we went through terrestrial TV and ITV but it became apparent that the results were reflecting FAN BASE for the artistes more than genuine support for the tracks, and ITV seemed to care more about income from phone votes than the quality of the programme so we’ve gone INTERNET for the moment.

Below is the list of the ten finalists for 2012.
Can you believe that they all sold over 500,000 copies EACH in the United Kingdom in 2012?…
In the RESULTS window we carry the amount of VOTES received for each track. And below we give you the results for The Record of the Year 2012.

See the Results window for specific votes.

  • Domino - Jessie J
  • Payphone - Maroon 5
