One Direction Will Take VMA For 'Best Song Of The Summer'
The voting process is essentially a popularity contest. The One Direction fandom has pulled over 7.5 million votes, landing the boy band in the number one spot. Miley Cyrus is in second place, with just under four million votes. Next is Selena Gomez, at just over two million votes. Then there is a huge jump to Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding, with 48,000 votes. In second to last and last are Daft Punk (37,000) and Robin Thicke (33,000).
One would think with the number of times "Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky" are played on radio stations and named as summer anthems that they would be contenders in the category. Alas, the voting process proves that the number of fans a music artist has is all that truly matters. If you're likable, the public will adore you.
