And so on to yesterday's Smash Hits Poll Winners Party, once again celebrating the best and worst of the mad world of teen-targeted pop music.
Obviously the Smash Hits readers know a thing or two about quality pop music because they handed most of the top awards to McFly (though a previous generation of Smash Hits readers did do the same thing for Westlife, so perhaps it was a fluke). The McFly boys took the gongs for Best UK Band, Best Single, Best Album and Stars Of The Year, while McFly members Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter won the awards for Most Snoggable Male and Top Mop respectively. And hurrah to that.
Other winners at the pop fest included former Blue boy Lee Ryan who was named Best Solo Artist, Green Day who own Best International Band and Eminem who took Best Hip-Hop Act. There were awards for Akon (Best R'n'B Act) and The Pussycat Dolls (Best Video), while Son Of Dork took Hot New Talent, though given that the band is marketed pretty much on the leadership of former Busted boy James Bourne, I'm not sure they're really that new.
In the non-music categories Johnny Depp was named Movie Star Of The Year while his film 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' won Best Movie. Eastenders was named Best TV Show, while Rachel Stevens was named Most Fanciable Female, Girls Aloud's Cheryl Tweedy and footballer Ashley Cole were named Hottest Showbiz Couple and, on the more negative side, Britney Spears was named Worst Dressed Star and Peter Andre was given the award for Flop Mop.
