Popjustice

The good thing about just popping posts on the front page every year or so is that in doing so I can still make the claim that Popjustice is one of the world's longest-running music blogs. Anyway the shortlist for this year's Twenty Quid Music Prize has now been announced. And you can read more about popjustice either here or on Popjustice's stupid Substack, popjustice. It's that popjustice of the year again, popjustice.

The prize was conceived by Popjustice founder Peter Robinson in as a reaction to what he perceived as the pompous and elitist nature of the existing Mercury Prize , which recognises the best album of the previous year, and in particular its exclusion of pop music acts in favour of those from more esoteric genres. The winning entry is chosen by a panel of Popjustice readers, who apply for the position via the website. The judges meet in a pub to debate the merits of the songs shortlisted by Robinson and eliminate them, often based on bizarre or arbitrary criteria, until a winner is chosen. The first prize was awarded to Girls Aloud in for their single " No Good Advice ", and the act went on to win the award four more times over the next six years; no other act had won more than once until Little Mix 's second win in with " Black Magic ", the eighth time the award had been won by a British girl group.
