The 2019 Popjustice Twenty Quid Music Prize: shortlist announced

  • July 25, 2019
  • Peter Robinson

Today I reveal the twelve best British* pop singles of the last twelve months. On September 19 the act/s respons­ible for the best of the lot will win twenty quid (cash).

Click here for the full shortlist and playlist, plus more info and all the past winners and shortlists. 

On prize night a panel of judges will decide on the winner at a top secret (I haven't booked it yet) London venue. If you'd like to join us all on the night, drop me a line on [email protected] explain­ing why you should be a judge and saying which song should be kicked off the shortlist — and which song should take its place. 

The overall winner will receive a pair of overalls with a £20 note stuck in the pocket. 

* I will be taking questions about the inclusion of Tiesto on the night and not before.
