The Winner Of The UK Blog Sound of 2015 Poll

The votes have been counted and verified and we can now confirm that the winner of this year’s Blog Sound of 2015 poll is Låpsley.

We’re very pleased to see Låpsley top the poll, having supported her on the blog with a number of posts, starting in December 2013 when Station was first released. She was one of our three choices in voting on the poll, the other two being Laura Doggett (who didn’t make the Blog Sound longlist) and Chløë Black (who did). Låpsley has also appeared on a whole variety of tip lists and ones to watch posts across the internet over the last few months so it comes as no surprise to find her topping the Blog Sound Poll as well.

Of course winning a poll or being included on a tip list is no guarantee that future releases will be as inspiring as the ones that get artists noticed in the first place, but we’re certainly hoping that things go well for Låpsley and that she achieves whatever she wants to achieve with her music. Her new EP is released on January 5th.

About The Blog Sound Poll

The Blog Sound poll asked 62 UK based music bloggers to nominate their 3 favourite emerging artists. The definition of emerging was left to individual bloggers, but to be selected an artist couldn’t have had a Top 40 hit either as an artist on their own right or as a named collaborator at the time of voting.

Låpsley was the clear winner of the poll with double the number of points than any other act on the 15 strong long list that was announced when the voting closed.

The longlist can be seen by clicking here.

Låpsley continues a pattern of female vocal acts topping the poll. Previous winners are Banks, Marika Hackman, Haim and Friends. Last year's joint winners Banks and Marika Hackman have continued to receive support from UK bloggers in 2014, being the 2nd and 3rd most blogged acts by UK bloggers on Hype Machine. So the title 'Blog Sound of 2014' stood up well.
