So instead of doing the worn out year-end charts that everyone is doing, I'll be doing my very own award show! Mine will be a little different since it's all based on me. Most people have other people vote, but I will be nominating and making winners myself. I am currently debating on whether or not I will also do a fan-vote with my noms as a little extra. I did this last year on my Twitter (my picks, not others), so I'll post them below once I dig through my Twitter archive.
Be prepared.

Hello and welcome to the cm7com Awards 2K14! 2014 was a wonderfully okay year in music! For these awards, I mark my favorite songs, artists, and albums of the year. This award show is not like most award shows, it lasts for a few days! (yay!) I will start off by posting genre awards, then move onto the good stuff. For the genres the awards will be announced in a single post, and the big categories will be stretched into multiple posts (though Album of the Year has 22 nominations... might have to innovate for this one). So let's get started! I will only post the Alternative field today since I have to leave for work in a bit, but tomorrow will probably have most, if not all, of the genre awards announced!
So get ready, fasten your seatbelts, and crash my car into a bridge, because the cm7com Awards start..........

I was hoping Shut Up and Dance would get #1, oh well, still a good choice for #1!!! :) It was a tough choice, but I went with "Dangerous" just because it has been around longer and it seemed more like the #1 to me lol. "Shut Up and Dance" will probably be on next year's ballot also (assuming a pop push). I'm actually not familiar with your #1 alternative song, but I love Shut Up And Dance "Dangerous" is great! I recommend checking it out! Yay Dangerous! Also great to see Walk The Moon. Thank you! WALK THE MOON hardly scraped the 4th place spot lol.
