The Record Of The Year 2008 Last year Leona Lewis won the prestigious title with Bleeding Love and well over a million votes were cast online. In 2006 Take That won with Patience. In the very first year, 1998, Boyzone won with No Matter What and the show had over 9.7 million viewers on ITV. This year all ten finalists have sold over 300,000 copies in the UK alone. Votes over the next three weeks are on www.roty.tv and the winner will be announced on December 14th. The Record of the Year 2008 Finalists In alphabetical order… American Boy – Estelle/Kanye West Chasing Pavements - Adele 4 Minutes – Madonna/Justin Timberlake Hero – X Factor Finalists I Kissed A Girl – Kate Perry Mercy - Duffy Now You’re Gone - Basshunter Rockstar - Nickelback Take A Bow – Rihanna Viva La Vida – Coldplay |

Aargh, how can Basshunter be a finalist!? No idea. I wouldn't worry though, it's hardly looking like a contender. |

So is this going to have its own dedicated show on TV - bit pointless if not?  And they had really rubbish winners - Busted 'Thunderbirds are Go' - who remembers that?  |

I voted Coldplay. It's not on tv anymore presumably since it's part of Jonathan "any hole's a goal" King's empire. I remember reading that the show made him an absolute fortune even when he was residing at his majesty's pleasure.

Why should Nickelback not be on there? And why should KoL have been nominated instead? Maybe in your opinion Sex on Fire is better, but that's just your opinion. Nearly 100,000 more people bought Rockstar than Sex on Fire, so surely it's earned it's nomination over KoL.
Looking at tracks with sales of over 300k, the only one I'm surprised not to see on the list is Black and Gold, which would have been well worthy of a nomination, in my opinion.
And hasn't Coldplay sold less than 300k? It was at 271k last time I checked.

This is surely the most pointless award in the entire existence of humankind.
If it's meant to be given to the most popular record, people have had an entire year to vote by getting off their soap-watching arses and BUYING it.
If it's meant to be the most artistically excellent record, voting is irrelevant, all that does is demonstrate popularity and not artistic excellence. Anyone who genuinely thinks "The One And Only" is a better song than "Sit Down" needs to be put in an institution.
