It has been a stellar year for pop music this year, with releases from the likes of The Weeknd, Justin Bieber and Adele topping charts around the world.

This year’s BBC Music awards see a host of international artists fighting it out, with Brits Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding hotly tipped to be taking the gong for the best most-played song of the past year.

Their songs, “Bloodstream” and “Love Me Like You Do”, were some of the most streamed songs on BBC Radio in 2015.

Other songs to make the list include the likes of “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mar (released November 2014), “Take Me To Church” by Hozier (first released in 2013) and “Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix)” by OMI.

Party anthem “Lean On” by Major Lazer is also on the list, as is “Can’t Feel My Face” by the Weeknd, and “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa.

The second annual BBC Music Awards, which will take place on the 10 December, took a blow last week as folk-rockers Mumford and Sons pulled out of performing because of scheduling conflicts.
