Our first ever annual awards set the foundation for what we have become known for – an end of year awards and our signature was to just focus on a small number of categories – Band, Live Act, Album and Single. Whilst this structure has remained since we started it in December 2015, the first awards was run differently to subsequent years. There wasn’t an online vote in 2015, instead the awards were based on actual listener requests, week-in, week-out, for artists through the course of the year. The first awards in 2015 were done as a bit of fun to finish the year but they reflect the acts that were a keystone of what we did during the year.
