#1: TOP INTERNATIONAL MALE 2019 - STYLO G It’s a compliment to any artist who can beat out the unstoppable Vybz Kartel for 'Top International Male Artist' of any year. Yet, this is the case with Jamaica’s Stylo G, who could not ask for a bigger year in dancehall.

#1: TOP CANADIAN MALE 2019 - EYESUS It’s interesting to note, as our pollsters voted over a four week period, it was this category which saw the most back-and-forth movement as far as lead changes between contestants were concerned, a tribute to the mutual respect our pollsters have for both artists.

#1: TOP (2) CANADIAN FEMALE 2019 - TONYA P While working at CKLN 88.1 FM, King Sharpe, former Desert Storm selector, brought Tonya Pringle AKA Tonya P to the radio station.
