This year there has been a whole lot of songs which caught our ears and we couldn't help crooning along like"Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber. Also the groovy 'Shape of You' by Ed Sheeran and the very mushy "Closer" by The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey. These are the nominations for the favorite song in the Pop/Rock category. Bruno Mars, The Chainsmokers, Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Ed Sheeran locked up the nominations in the category Artist of the Year.
