What is the PARTYSAN POLL?
Since 2011 the PARTYSAN.net Poll & Awards is a survey of the highlights and favorites of the year in the field of electronic music. Polls, reader surveys and charts have a long tradition in music media. Very often a track, artist or an event after a poll has significantly higher sales, experiences a number of new engagements, or massive increase in ticket sales.
What is the importance of such a poll for an artist?
Careers are started or stopped, newcomers can achieve their breakthrough, superstars can be approved or referred to the ranks. Artists‘ fees, record sales, media coverage and line-ups are significantly influenced by poll results. Forgotten or overlooked gems of music can suddenly arrive at fame and glory, and in the same time some hyped tracks or artists can rank much lower in the true perspective of readers, clubbers and consumers.
Who determines the nominees?
All users and readers of the international network of PARTYSAN determine the nominees.
