Nominations for the Hotties Readers' Poll 2025 Are Now Open!

To nominate your favourite artists, simply fill out the form below

You can now nominate your 2025 favourites in our annual Hot Press Readers' Poll, aka The Hotties.

Last year's Readers' Poll saw Hozier win big, taking the Album of The Year ('Unreal Unearth'), as well as Track Of The Year ('Francesca'), Individual Artist Of The Year and Best Songwriter.

He was followed closely by Grian Chatten who won Debut Album Of The Year ('Chaos For The Fly') and his band Fontaines DC who won Live Act.

The battle for Most Promising was intensely fought, with Muireann Bradley just pipping Galwegian shoegazers NewDad and renaissance woman Rachel Mae Hannon.

Hot Press also wants to hear what were your highlights in terms of international favourites, movies, TV, books and more. So support your own personal favourites by making your nominations now in as many - or as few – categories you'd like.

So who is the greatest of them all? Who made 2024 a year to remember for you? What records, tracks or streams stand out? Was there a movie that inspired you? We want to hear from you...
