Little Mix’s ‘Black Magic’ has won the 2015 Twenty Quid Music Prize

For the second year running, a Little Mix single — in this case 'Black Magic' — has been 'honoured' as the best British pop single of the last twelve months.

Congratulations to them.

In a typically shouty, drunken and mildly aggress­ive demo­cratic voting shambles in a London pub, Little Mix beat off Becky Hill's 'Losing' and Foxes' 'Body Talk' to win twenty pounds (cash).

As you well know, 'Black Magic' 'peaked' at Number One in the UK for three weeks earlier this year and features the best use of "hey!" in a song since that last one.

Let's remind ourselves of its majesty again shall we:
