2016 Music Recognition Award Results

Well, this was your year-end choices for your music for 2016. This poll closed about a month ago and now I have gathered all of the results! I would like to just get right to the results, as it is fairly lengthy. Let's just go over the way this post will run before we get into the winners. 

There were seven nominees for each category. Every song will have a place number (#1-#7). Each place number will be color coded, just to show the entirety of all results. Below, you will see the color code for each place number (#1-#7).

#1-Green
#2-Blue
#3-Pink
#4-Yellow
#5-Turquoise
#6-Red
#7-Orange

Purple will not be in use for this post.

If there is a tie, the places will still be in their same color, even if two are listed, there may not be a certain placed color for that time. For example, a tie for fifth place may look like (Artist - Song, Artist - Song, Artist - Song, Artist - Song, Artist - Song, Artist - Song, Artist - Song). So, in that case, orange would not be used. If there are multiple ties, the system still applies. 

Got it? Okay! Let's jump right in to the nominees and our winners.
