The Hand That Feeds HQ’s readers choose who are their ARTISTS OF THE YEAR. This passionate voting that counted with 1085 participants gave way to interesting results.
From December 1, 2020 to December 8, 2020, 1085 people passionately voted on what was the 1st ever ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2020 survey hosted by The Hand That Feeds HQ.
Fans could only vote once in the survey but had 3 votes to spare, 1 for each category up for voting: solo artists, bands/seiyuu units and 2D music projects.
Powered by you to you, ARTIST OF THE YEAR is a survey in which I found fans championing for their favorite male seiyuu and 2D music projects.
This was a survey that made people come together which, I must admit, with this survey being driven by popularity, it was pretty refreshing to see.
It was amazing to see so many fans come together and give their 2 cents on their artists, support each other and, most of all, look back to 2020 with a smile.
ARTIST OF THE YEAR is the artist that stood out from the others, someone who continuously released strong singles/albums throughout the year, someone that showcased growth throughout the year, someone that impacted you in a way that all you want is to listen to their music again and again.
Only the top 10 most in each of the 3 categories – solo artist, band/seiyuu unit and 2D music projects – got a spot on this article. Are your favorites here?
Without further ado, these are your ARTISTS OF THE YEAR.
